Ever been moochin or huntin in unfamiliar Woods or moors? Come accross a beck or river that's too wide to leap or no branches to vault wi ? Too deep to dash n splash ? Not enougj time or terrain wrong for wanderin up or dahn lookin for a crossin spot ? Maybe trackin an time is a factor ?

Well I know I have, an am sure alot of yor have? So what's the solution? Take yer boots an britches off? Gamble an go for it ? Well when I spotted one of our forum members floggin these packable waders, I thought mmmmm.

So I googled em an.read the reviews......mixed, but the main theme seemed to ne that they git the job done :thumbup: but have a short use life :thumbdown:

So what to do ? Well they were a decent price, an dry legs an gittin-r-dun when needed would justify the brass ?

Well, we were aht moochin at weekend an there happened to be a river ;) so it would have been rude not to :p.

Now, I figured that half the alleged longivity issues were due to huntin boots damagin the coatin ? An stitching? ......so I figured a couple of carrier bags could help.

good review Chis, bit of a wobble half way back across...:rolleyes::lmao::dancer:

the bottom looks very fragile, maybe some truck inner tube glued to the bottom would help prevent punctures from rocks etc etc....

just a thought mate...:)
