I've had a few things from Hoggs. To be honest, I see them mostly as country clothes suppliers rather than serious wet weather outfitters. They do a good line in shoes and their shirts are excellent. (if that's any help). Their stuff is good quality, for it's intended use. I'd go to them for, say a pair of moleskin trousers rather than a pair of trousers to rival some Harkila goretex trousers and perhaps the same could be said of their gloves.
