Gill Airflo Baggies

Advantages: Slick, shoots VERY easily, presentation, durability
Disadvantages: Discolours

...I have fly fished for many years now (not going to say how many as it makes me feel old!) and I have used, abused and thrown away more floating lines than I can remember. Until now I bought my first Snowbee line 5 years ago just as they started hitting the market. I had used many brands of lines up until then - Cortland, Lureflash, Airflo and was currently using a Shakespeare Worcestershire, and then I bought this 'new' line from a company who, at the time, mainly made waders The lines were simply called Snowbee Prestige lines then. At the time, the Prestige line felt good. Easy to cast, shot through the rings well and was reasonably durable. It floated high on the water and served me well for 4 seasons before it was time to change. Of course, in this time the Prestige had become the XS and cost a little, but not a lot, more...

Advantages: comfortable and good to ride in
Disadvantages: zip broke so not very durable

...I have a pair of these boot and there are many positives about them but one big negative. Positives 1. Very comfortable from the start no rubbing at all 2. Look smart 3. Easy to put on as have zip 4. Plenty of room for wooly socky and enough room for wearing with jeans 5. Reasonable price for leather boots 6. Comfortable for riding and yard work 7. Leather doesnt stretch or become baggy round the ankle. Major negative The zip broke after about 18 months. I wore them 3-4 a week for riding and occasional yard work so not alot of heavy duty use. I love these boots so much I took them to the shoe menders and they said it would cost £60 to mend the zip. Luckily I have managed salvage them as fray was near the bottom of the boot and I could stitch the boot shut and still get my foot in and out without having to unstitch it and it stopped...

Advantages: Nice shirt, very fashionable
Disadvantages: United in blue - just not on

...Once again, the powers that be have had their way over the true fans. Manchester United in blue - it is just not on. The kit itself is very nice, slick looking and extremely fashionable. A royal blue colour with red trim, and white logos makes for a very attractive shirt. The only problem - it is just not Man U! The vodafone logo (update: now replaced by AIG) is in white across the centre of the shirt, with a white nike tick in the breast, and the club logo in a central position on the breastbone. The shorts are in the same colour, baggy, with the red trim on the seam at the base, and the socks being nikes current half and half with blue fronts and red on the back. As I say, the kit is lovely, once again expensive at £40 for an adult shirt, but somehow is just not a Man U shirt in feel or appearance. The shirt is comfortable... Read review
