Haglofs trousers with sample on the label?

Haglofs trousers with sample on the label?


Postby scoob999 » Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:05 pm

I bought a pair of haglofs trousers today, and iv'e just noticed they have a label next to the main label with SAMPLE on it?
Can anyone shed any light on this, are they demonstration trousers? and will they be the same quality?
They were bought from a reputable dealer
Thanks in advance

Take them back and tell them you don't want 'sample' trousers.

Manufacturers will generally make a batch of each new model to send out with sales reps or to reviewers before the goods go on sale. In most cases the product will be exactly the same as the retail version, but sometimes there are last minute changes. I frequently get blank instruction manuals as these seem to be a last minute thing.

If you paid full retail price for the trousers I'd expect the full retail-model trousers. If you got them cheap then I wouldn't worry too much but I'd certainly check with the retailer.

Are you a size M?
