Recommend new wellies

[shinbo]

Hi all
With the ground being so wet I have been looking at getting a new pair of wellies any recommendations? looking for something that will be comfortable for a full day out stalking.

What were your previous ones?

 

[shinbo]

I previously had a pair of Bogz but are not to comfortable and way to heavy

 

[Haggis Hunter]

I’d also say Skellerup Quattro but they are pretty solid and not what I’d call lightweight. Paid £90 for my second pair a few weeks ago, then fixed the leak in my left boot , so the shiny new pair are poised in reserve….

OMG, stalking in wellies, next it will be not wearing a tie, country going to the dogs

Ordinarily I would agree with you, but it's like Passchendaele out there man!

This season I splashed out on some Aigle 2 Parcours ISO and an NGT boot bag for the car. They're nice, though I haven't worn them all day.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Was funnier in my head!

I still believe you should stick with tradition and Trench-foot

thanks for the replies guys but was thinking it’s either wellies or a pair of waders

 

[angusb1]

Where we stalk I sometimes think swapping my wellies for waders would be a good idea

 

[shinbo]

And it’s the same where I stalk, really don’t see any point in making things harder for yourself work smarter not harder

I picked up a pair of Muck Boots last year Arctic Pro and they are the best pair of wellies I’ve purchased. Warm with a good thick thermal sole and a good fitting around the ankle, no slippage.

 

[FISH BOY]

Aigle ISO 5mm Parcours 2 neoprene for winter and the unlined Parcours Varios for the warmer months.

Hate laces.

 

[Cyres]

Skellerups but they are not light. If your tramping through mud and water the are brilliant. I would say a winter boot fabulous for foxing and alike.

I've had good service from Muck Boots

No doubt this reply will elicit pitchforks and stake burning but I have had nothing but good experience with le chameau. Light, flexible and comfortable to wear all day if you really have to wear wellies.

 

[shinbo]

Sometimes wellies are the smart option thanks for your reply

£15 Dunlop wellies but wear £6/pair JCB Thermasox from Morrisons,most comfortable my feet have ever been.

I got some Skellerups and as solid and well made as they are, they are uncomfortable. The wife got some as well and loves them though, so might just be my giant, flat feet.

Of the premium brands aigle are excellent. Parcours 2 have given 4/5 years of heavy use still going strong.
