I have had hedgehogs,karimores and a karimore boot that I got last year
None have been really good some leaked from the start others later..


Last time i was asking someone said get full grain leather boots
Can someone please recommend something that's really not going to leak
I'd rather spend a decent amount of money once rather then £50 3x a year
Also is that waterproof sock worth it?

I assume you are talking about boots? If so the best ones I've had are Muckboots - "Lune", however they are no longer available in the UK. In their place I got some Grubs "Midlines". They are almost identical. The Muckboots were well insulated from the cold and kept my feet 100% dry. I wore them all winter and through the spring till they wore out. I've been wearing the Grubs for a month and find them the same so far, and cheaper.

Hope this helps.

buy some bergaus explorer goretex boots.theyll last you a couple of years worn day in/day out.nice dry feet all year round.feet dont sweat much in summer too.ive never bothered with waterproof socks!dont see the point as my feet are always dry whatever the weather!!

as for pants try TKMAXX.ski pants.i got some last year for £30.they retail at £130.very warm and completely waterproof.excellent in cold wet weather.

goretex jackets(i have 2.a north face and a craghoppers).

gloves?i use showa 377s,pad ice from gardiners and glacier "perfect curve" gloves when its really cold.nitrile glove liners used underneath.

beanie hat when freezing,gardiners cap when raining(stops rain getting into my eyes!).

embroidered polo shirts,hoodie and fleece plus a dickies jacket with reflective WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES on the back.

ive also got craghoppers light solardry combats for summer and some waterproof heavy duty ones for winter when its too warm for the ski pants.

invest in good gear and you ll work in most weathers mate!

Don't buy boots online. The most important thing to consider is fit. You will be wearing them for 8 hours and you will be on your feet. Everything else is secondary.

I wear walking boots for walking and they always stay dry, but I don't reckon they are up to 8 hours a day in the wet. Especially if you chuck in a fascia clean or two.

A slighter cheaper - yet still very good - jacket is the Marmot Precip.  It's lightweight and breathable; designed for runners.

You should be to get one for under £60.

I bought these on your recommendation Daz.
Not leaked yet-but only a month old.
They don't look they'll last till the end of the year waterproof as they are.
Do you dubbin/treat yours Daz? If so, what with-how often?
I work slightly longer days than you and my WFPing position of choice seems to make sure my boots are soaked from about 10 minutes after the first window!
