Altberg Sneeker Microlite Aqua Mkii Boot

[Jamo 90]

anybody know how many years will these last me? never spent 160 quid on foot wear

[jonah. 775]

at the risk of stating the obvious, all depends on how much hammer your gonna give them. hard to compare what would last one man against another as the circumstances they are used will differ lots.

if you use them everyday and get a year out of them, it works out to less than 50 pence a day, not a lot for "happy feet" when you think about it.

Blue pocket rocket off this site uses them boots i think, PM him or do a search, there's a thread on here somwhere where he gave a decent write up on pro's and cons of different boots, he knows his stuff.

I use mine 5 days a week.....minimum....

 

Sometimes 7 days.....

 

Roughly 2/3 of the year they are worn on roads/paths and general walking.... polished daily....

 

The rest of the year theyre covered in shite...soaking wet and lucky if they get a polish.....

 

Last me about 2 years....

 

And even then its the tread thats gone and not the actual boot

il use them for roughly 1 mile a day on pavement, the rest of the time wet grass, mud or chalky pathways

 

i guess its worth getting them i reckon il get more than 2 years from what you say

 

cheers

You cant beat the ex army DPM trousers. Im done with spending 100 notes on a pair of trousers to rip them on a barbed wire fence.

 

If you dont want to be in full camo then any warm top. I like the seeland keeper green fleeces. Got a couple. Love the dickies padded workshirts for ferreting aswell. None of these are waterproof though.

will probably get the dpm trousers but need a waterproof jacket, have other tops already

 

something like this but doesnt look like its discounted in my size http://www.countryhouseoutdoor.co.uk/p591/Aigle_Hobbs/product_info.html?products_image_group=Bronze

Good big coat that. Might order the XXL myself.

Never had a decent coat, waterproof ones tend to be noisy so i just get wet when lamping. That doesnt look like its made of typical waterproof material though.

[Jamo 90]

when i click the size it doesnt look like our sizes are reduced , as usual

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Usually the case. What size are you?

[Jamo 90]

xl in that jacket i think, just spoke to somebody can get 10% off if ordered today

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Sound mate. Sorted.
