I got all Dirty and Wet for this.

Advantages: Cheap, Colourful, Comfortable
Disadvantages: None

...my weekly food shop at Tesco Extra. These wellies are from the "Cherokee" range, to give them their proper title they are the "Tesco Kids Butterfly Wellington Boots". I'm lucky enough to have small enough feet to buy V.A.T free Wellies from the kiddies department! My new Wellingtons are black with a delightful little heel (perfect for Scottish Mud Dancing), a buckle detail on the side and a substantial enough (for light use) Textured sole. They ...
...exercises. Sadly my humble Tesco Wellies are made from man made fibres, the contents of which I am unable to determine from the symbols on the label which indicate only that the Wellies are made from textiles. Because the Wellington Boot has such an auspicious history, I decided to test my new "cheapie" Wellies to the limit for you Sgathach style. I decided that I would don my Wellies at the first sign of rain and test the boots out. I bought ...

There vision to change the way clothes designed for travel and leisure. They adopted a back to basic philosophy, with the design and fabrics used. They also talked to their potential customers.

...I first became aware of Rohan back in the eighties, when looking for suitable clothes for travelling light on a hiking/mountain biking trip in France. I was looking for something you could ware every day, and something that would be hardwearing enough for leisure activities, providing comfort, and durability. So I was kitted out with trousers, shirts, windbreaker, tee shirts, and shorts. At not much change out £300, you might think that you could ...

BUFFALO Special 6 Mountain Shirt-Peak performance!

Advantages: Comfortable, warm, large pockets
Disadvantages: Bulky

...beat the BUFFALO© mountain shirt. Buffalo make a range of mountaineering clothing/gear for men and women that is warm, comfortable, practical and, dare I say, stylish! Their gear is suitable for a variety of outdoor pursuits, such as winter mountaineering, climbing, hill walking, mountain biking etc. I have also worn mine whilst canadian canoeing, snowboarding, sailing, kite flying and shopping in Edinburgh! All their products are designed to perform ...
...in milder conditions. BACKGROUND: Buffalo originally developed the shirt to reduce the amount of layers climbers and mountaineers had to wear to keep warm in the winter. The traditional layering system, which had been around for many years and is still taught today, relies on an individual having a wicking layer close to the skin, then an insulating layer (it used to be the woolly pully that your gran knitted for you), and then a waterproof layer ...

Dry as a dry thing

Advantages: keeps me dry and warm
Disadvantages: None

Regatta Packaway II Womens Waterproof Jacket When the summer holidays wer looming and it became clear that it would be wet, it was imperative that i finally bought myself some kind of light weight waterproof jacket. I don’t know a lot about these things but knew that I wanted something which would keep me reasonably dry and would fit nice and neatly in the boot of the car. In my experience, if I just throw a coat into the boot, it ends up filthy ...
...I could then lose!! WHAT DOES IT PROMISE? So, I have a new outdoor jacket, waht will it do for me? The jacket makes a number of promises: • Isolite 5000 fabric forms a barrier against water droplets, so I won’t be saturated • Permeable to water vapour and so lets perspiration escape • Windproof • Isotex coated polyamide which is a fully waterproof and breathable fabric which is heat taped. So, there we have it, a coat which should allow me ...

Green Wellie Shoes

Advantages: Dry feet
Disadvantages: None I have found yet

...made by a company called Willowdale Products and there is quite a selection to choose from ranging from the usual green wellies through to multi-coloured and patterned ones; from traditional boots through to shoes and clogs. The range for ladies is the Jolie range with Jolie Wellington Boots, Jolie Ankle Boots and Jolie Clogs which all come in bright colours and patterns. In fact, I opted for the Buckingham Shoe which is a shoe version of the well ...
...I should mention that it does also come in navy blue. It is made of PVC so is fully waterproof but, like wellies, has a cotton lining for comfort. It also comes with the same type of substantial sole so you feel quite safe in slippery conditions. I have to say that they have already been well worn as my main task after I bought them was to cut the grass. I hesitate to say 'lawn' as by this time the grass had grown so long that it more resembled ...
