Was so frustrated with this product that I am still taking time to cool off. " For boat use, youd want an USCG approved plastic whistle (which wont rust) and youd want to toss the bungie and adjustable wrench as they will both rust. I dont normally write reviews after only having the product for less than 2 hours, but these buds compelled me. I liked the Sabbat e12 Ultra a lot. It might soften with repeated washings. I have several other DisplayPort adapters and a USB-C to DP wire, none of them had this kind of issue. Really like it and will buy it again when I need more hose. The beige color is not the same as the HD598. this could be a one time issue as I dont normally have a bad time with amazon products, but the only way I will order from this specific vendor again is if the new one they ship fares better than the first one. I cant fold it because of the extra screw that I installed, but I felt that sacrifice was worth it for the extrastability.
