sikastag_1 689 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Iv never worn the ridgeline over trousers mate 2 guys I go out with have them and the jackets and says they are good bit of kit, I have the deer hunter ram trousers that are the deer tex you said in your first post, good trousers problem is they let in at the zip in heavy heavy rain and you end up walking about feeling like you've pissed yourself lol!! so although good trousers if you were going to get trousers like that I'd get the sealand beaters trousers over the deer tex they are better.

JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Missus got me some seeland wellies, i wouldnt pay £100 for wellies myself but they are very comfy to walk in and are still going strong after 2 years. Ive used chiruca boots for about 8 yrs the first pair i had "hunters" i think wad the model were brilliant lasted years walkin huntin dogs an fishin never leaked an waterproof right to the top, the second pair with built in gaitors were not as good but may have lasted longer if looked after.

Iv had a load of le chameau wellies, and climbed a fence or 2 and never have I had a sole punctured even when wearing down, I did go for comfort and wearability and IN MY OPINION le chams are the best wellies there is, the hunters were a gift 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
