Found the factory using lower-grade PU coating instead of the specified membrane.
Negotiated a claim and re-production plan.
Qualified 2 membrane-certified factories with test labs.
Claim settled; re-production met the 10,000mm spec; returns fell to 1.2%; the range kept its premium listing with outdoor retailers.
