Q:
I've heard people say "You get what you pay for it" I bought a 8 dollar pair of Out fitter's ridge at wal mart. They say they are water proof and wind proof. They do all of that. I think I made a good buy. So that statement isn't always true. What do you think.

In some situations that can be true but when it comes to hunting equipment its all trial and error i will admit i paid some prices on certain things that didnt work as good as the cheaper versions but ive also went cheap and wished i wouldnt have thats why we as hunters field test items so that we all know whats good and whats not.
What are they? Boots, gloves, earmuffs, ball warmers? What?
I think it depends on what brand it is and why the price was so low. Why was the price so Low?
O sorry. They are a pair of gloves.
Agreed. I bought a nice pair of Remington branded gloves in Natural Gear camo a couple of years ago in Wal-mart for less than $10 after the season. They were the best gloves for the price I have ever used. I'm still looking for the one I lost! LOL
They're probably cheap because the foreign labor that made them didn't get much of a cut. I am not busting on you, though; a lot of my equipment is from WalMart.
I love walmart stuff if it lasts a week it lasts forever in my experience but if I can get it local I buy it
i say "you get what you paid for" when it is something substantial, like a gun or a bow. but in cases like golf clubs, for example, you could have the bran-new-tiger-woods-nike clubs that cost $1500 and still suck at golf, while i beat you with my grandpa's old wooden clubs. So there is some limitations to that term, but not for a pair of gloves, just get the cheaper ones that seem the nicest to you.
shop local, shop American!
I have to say I buy alot of little things for hunting and fishing at wal mart. Great prices. Some things you do have to pay a bit more to get the right stuff still. I dont scrimp on my boots and long johns though!
yeah i try to pick and choose what i buy there usually a good price on special stuff the stuff in the ile is not always the best price but the center advertised stuff usually a lot cheaper than anywhere else. thats how they get you they are masters at... my mom worked there im not just bashing thats actually there policy
I have those same gloves. I love them. Talk about keeping you warm. I actually have bought 3 pairs just cuz I know I will lose them and I want to keep a pair in the truck.
I always buy boots clothing and sox at clearance prices once the GOOD stuff cheaper than the schlock at Wally-world. Scored a NEW Pair of Sorels in my size for 39.95 At Cabelas tent sale last year. And new Browning boots this year for 29.95 this year. Gotta admit I buy ammo there at Wally's tho.
