i think if they're warm enough, i can cope with them not being as pretty to look at as the Ariats, as they're so much cheaper. any recommendations/comments please? thankyou.
I have them. I got them because they are small on the calves. They are really warm and very durable/hardwearing. They are 99% waterproof but where they have a small airvent crease thing in them to make them more moveable if you stick your whole foot in water you will get a small wet patch. Other than that they are a definite saving - I got mine for £63 from my local tack shop and was very happy!
Haven't tried getting them wet, and yes they are small on the calves and my zips occasionally unzip due to me not zipping them right to the top (read "they will fit!!")
