Which wellies?

[RagnarHairybreeks]

Thanks fella.

 

[Dr. Alkathene]

Bekina Thermolite, Dunlop Puroroft thermoplus or Skellerup Quattro.

Any recommendations for ladies? The ones I have just now are a wee bit bulky.

le chameau without the zips on the side there called ceres jersey only about £90 now
had them for near on 2 years now do firewood all winter in them as well very warm

 

[sjewart]

Had a quick look at these but they all only seem to be avail over size 6 and I'm a 5.5 at best.

 

[devonbrion1998]

Shame, nice boots though

I know this has been done heaps of times but I'm onto my second pair of Skellerups,first pair lasted about 6 months and they exchanged them free of charge,2nd pair has just lasted fully a year but have gone on exactly the same place where the crease is across the top of your toes,so what do I try now?
Problem is the Skellerups are very comfy

I'm having exactly the same problem with mine. Split/have gone thin at the top of the foot behind the big toe in less than a year. Very disappointing considering the price of them. I'll probably go back to the Dunlop Purofort.

Bekina thermolite, i wear mine 365days of the year to much amusement but i like my wellingtons.

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Tell me more about what they've done to my Dunlops, @MJT?
Old Skellerups were good but now they aren't made here they've turned to rubbish IMO. I can crack a pair of quatro inside 2 months so I went to Hevea (Dunlop) and never looked back.

Not happy if they've changed them, I love them, esp the way mud falls off them! Just a wee bit easy to puncture on barb wire etc is the only fault I can find with them.

 

[Nae bother]

Forgot to say mine are steel toe capped,so new ones would have to be the same,Tia.

 

[CollCrofter]

Hardly see me without these on

I bought a set of Hoggs neoprene with Vibram sole.

I like them a lot. Ive tried everything from Chameau to Muckboots to Bullseyes.

+1 For Hoggs Wellies.

Le Chameau Vierzonord I have slim calves and find these fit perfect

 

[Flossie]

Big plus 1 for Bekina

I was going to say Bekina Steplites, but my second pair in 11 months have gone this morning Bend of foot-exactly same place as last time-seems to be a weak spot Last pair were replaced FOC, but might have to try something different.
Dunlop Purofort were always OK, but a lot colder than Bekina, and the soles soon went to slicks.
What are other dairy farmers wearing these days?

I'm not a dairy farmer. However I went through 4 pairs of Dunlops in 12 months (3 were foc replacements for leaking) and then switched to Bekina.

I'm only on 2nd pair of Bekina, first lasted about a year and these have done about a year so far I think .

Bekina

Bought my Le Chameau after my 2nd pair of Aigle parcours split. So comfy and warm (I got the neoprene boots as toes get frozen in winter)

Wondering about these Any good in slurry and slippery concrete?

Exactly the same here. Love the Red Bands, but have gone through 2 pairs in 12 months - both where the crease crosses your toes. Obviously a big weakness in their product!

 

[Aircooled]

Bekina no use. Dairy chemicals seem to make them rot. Dunlop's have a new stronger purofort. So far so good.

 

[Westsidefarmer]

Bekinas are best fitting wellies I've found so far, but only lasting 4-6month. Been getting second pair foc.
