Looking for a new pair of wellies, always been a muck boot man but after the state these new pair have become never again , People say Le chamois but I'm not a fan of anything that comes out a france ( especially there cars ) ;D
Just wondering if anyone has any good advice for wellies
-
OH swears by his reinforced Purofort wellies
-
What Bionic says. Tried a lot of different makes over the years, Dunlop Purofort all the way for me now. I've got the neoprene safety ones, Rosemary has them without the reinforced toecap, both very happy.

A lot of people have told me that purports are the wellies to go for , but I'm not sure if i went from muck boots with there comfort too going to those
-
Dunlop Purofort, they weigh nothing at all and outlast all the others.

[member=13]Rosemary[/member] wore Muckboots for years, she's better qualified to comment on the Purofort comfort level. :)

I'm on my second pair of Aigle wellies but no good for you if you don't like French stuff! I love 'em. Most comfortable wellies I've ever had and they lasted really well given I wear them ever day, day in and out. Bit pricy but half price on amazon at the moment.

Bekina. Light, comfy, good value for money.

UNLESS you puncture them. I've put holes in two of them so far, by catching them on sharp corners. In all other respects, they're brilliant though, and I can't imagine having anything else :thumbsup: .

Dunlop Purofort Thermo
Not lightweight, but very warm and my last pair lasted for eight years.

Wellies? It's spring. We should be shopping for flipflops :innocent:

I do like an optimist.

I must say, and I am ready for the backlash, love Hunter's.
I had their bog standard Balmoral's for 7 years until they ran out of tread and developed a leak last summer. I lived in them most days.
Overpriced due to their image, and sadly now made in China but I cannot fault them.
I just need to save up to buy another pair, but sadly times are tight as always.

I bought muckboots for a time but they fell apart easily; I tried cheaper ones and they never lasted. Just bee given some purofort safety wellies, I have only worn them once so far and they are lightweight and comfy, perfect. :)

I like Bekina best.
