ham2 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ditto sealskins as I haven't tried the ex army gortex ones. Although I think I'll go for the gortex ones next time around as the price looks good and I'm tired of replacing the sealskins when I get a stone/grit/grain of sand in my boot and the bugger wears through,letting in water.

betabonkers Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ive got both but would say the sealskins are better , they seem to be more breathable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Never gat short sealskins as they are a pain to keep up, only way is to duct tap them to your socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess which sort i purchased ................. the Wee Guys ! Bassa, might just fling the Buggers in the back of the Drawers and Buy the Long ones. No point in finding out the Short Socks leak when when it's too late ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in finding out the Short Socks leak when when it's too late !No they're ok, you just have to make sure they are securely attached, it's more from comfort than waterproofness, even if you do get some water in it soon warms up and thats all that matters.

manx2day Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sealskinz, never had a problem and the long ones are great. Especially if the rivers are high!!! Very waterproof and very breathable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
