What does it take to buy a drysuit hood these days? I orders a white hood back in December, only to be told that it was "backordered" over and over. It is now March, and, it is still backordered.Both online and in my LDS. I had an xl shipped to me just to see if i could make it work. Too big.
I have read another post that says has been Backordered since november.
So, i decide to move on. I go to my second choice, Pinnacle merino. Also backordered, according to Leisurepro. then I find the new zippered merino hood available and pull the trigger.I get exited, because this is a much more ideal hood for me than the whites.
Come to find out the next day it is backordered as well.
Same story with the henderson I picked out.
Anyone else having this problem? Particularly with size large?
It was said in another forum, and I agree, that having a product unavailable since November is way more than backorderd.
Maybe just a sign of the times, but, it makes me worry about the future of availability of products and customer service we can expect from these previously reliable , quality companies. I don't say this without a great degree of understanding.
At the end of the day, I still don't have a hood and want to go diving.....
