Recommended Posts

I need a new pair for the winter and I've been looking on the hunter website and found a pair for argyll neoprene ones was just wondering if they are made to the same quality as the ones with the hunter bage or better goin for some le chameau instead?

hi mate depends on your budget but I find hunter willies heavy and in my opinion not as good as likes of chameau or Aigle if your budget allows have a look at Aigle Parcours or Le Chameau Vierzonord if not the Seeland Estate are good on a budget if you shop around can find the under £80 good luck Tim

I use Muckboots at present and although they are very comfy they do weigh a ton - looking to get some lighter and more comfortable ones so I might have a look at Sealand. Aigle and Le Chameau are just too much money - I am sure they are good but I go through brambles, thickets and I am not sure they will stand up to the rough treatment.

i use the wellies you have stated John and i have to say the are very good. i pay about £40 for mine from the farmers merchant and expect to get about three years out of them. they are comfortable and lightweight.

the only bad things i can say is that they are slipery on wet concrete and perish if left in direct sunlight.

otherwise they are very good value imo.

even prince charlie can be seen wearing them and i dare say he could have any wellies he wanted. :)

SWMBO bought me a pair of Hunter Balmorals a few years back - wanted Le Cham but must say apart from replacing insoles after 3yrs regular use (I'm retired and beat/shoot 3/4 days a week) they are still going strong. Le Cham's good but I ripped them on barbed wire weeks after buying. So for next pair (hopefully not soon) I'm divided.
