robborobbo Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi I am looking into purchasing a set of wellies. A quite fancied the Hunter Balmoral Royal’s but can’t seem to find any local shop that sells them. Any advice on why I can’t seem to find them, are they discontinued? Also other recommendations are welcome Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COACH Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I've discussed this with a lot with shooters including hundreds of others on other shooting sites and we have come to the conclusion that the Aigle Parcours ISO are the best wellies out there at the moment and cost around £120 or less in the January sales. I had some bought for me by my sponsors and have decided that they are indeed the best wellies I've ever had. They are so comfortable and warm even in the snow. They just refuse to slip and slide on just about any surface and they are tough. Edited December 27, 2011 by COACH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P~MX Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 my mate is on his 3rd pair of them now, each pair has lasted around 1--2 outtings, keep a close eye on them as you might need to return them But hopefully not - just a heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky gipsy Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi Check out John Norris at penrith. Good deals at the moment on web site. We were in the shop yesterday & I got a pair of Seeland, 5mm neoprene, full length zip & vibram sole for £65 & Mrs Skygipsy got Aigle Parcours Outlast Vario for £119. They carry Hunter Balmoral Neoprene Boots too for £115. Good mail order service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Codit She was out in them yesterday & found the be be great...no more damp socks that neoprene causes when walking long distances during a days beating (sweaty girl!!). She will still use her Parcours ISO's on cold days when standing around for long periods of time though, thats what I got my 5mm Sealands for.

station Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Value for money at £52 you cannot beat Muck Boots - Great fit so long as you know they are on the generous size side, nice and warm without making my feet sweat and supremely comfortable and dry.

They sound ideal for me, as at the moment I'm mainly walking up rough shooting, although I do some Nv shooting with my Super Ten, still not sure what to go with!!
