leegreen 2,105 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Had Harkila with the Kevlar on them. They leaked after 3 months, sent them back and the second pair did the same. Ended up in a long dispute about them and was eventually refunded. Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,612 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ive never heard any lad say anything good about the Harkilas. 2 Quote Link to post
the goat 642 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Never used harkila but used haix. I'm a tree surgeon and they're mate for abuse. Mine lasted about 2 seasons pure abuse and not a drop of wax. Heavy to walk in but Strong as feck to dig in...the sole on my meindl dovres lasted 2 months and my brand new Andrews bartoro high welts lasted a month. Go for the Tibet forest option if I were you i found them better than protector pro 2 Quote Link to post
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Stay away from the Harkilas. Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are the shittest boots I ever owned. I have stuck with altbergs for now, meindl have been good. Rarely get more than a season out of a pair of boots but the Harkila ones were f****d half way through. Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,612 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Altbergs are no good for digging. Too lightweight and not enough sole protection. Ive had the Le Chameaus and Lowas, both were ok but the Meindl Glockners I have now are better than any Ive had yet. Quote Link to post

And I had cold feet in them, but comfy and light Quote Link to post

I found them harsh on the feet when digging. Especially with an ankle that's got f****d ligaments... Quote Link to post
