Advantages: Washes well, keeps you warm and looks ok too
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...approx. £100 investement for my Musto was well worth it. I have had it since xmas 2006 and it has been treated pretty badly throughout that time! I am a large animal and equine vet and wear my coat for work most days, so it really has had a tough time! This means my coat has to be relativly smart but also practical in any situation. In the last year it has been used to pad the floor under lame horses, as a foal blindfold and, more than once, to mop ...
...between classes, for which the musto is very useful as it is always cold at dog shows, even in summer! The pockets are fleece lined and have a zip closure, meaning they can be used to keep hands warm and to store items. The size of the pockets is good, a wallet, bunch of keys and a mobile can easily be spread between them without making too large bulges! In summary, the coat still looks as good as new and shows no sign of breaking yet, despite it's ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to clean, comfortable
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for what they are

...managed to ignore the ubiquitous crocs for the last two summers now, but all of a sudden something changed. One of my friends mentioned that she was thinking of purchasing some Crocs, which led me to investigate the Crocs website. Whilst there, I discovered the 'ten benefits of Crocs' top reasons you gotta have 'em " 1. Really soft, super comfortable, molds to your feet 2. Barely there, weighing only 6 ounces 3. Vented so air passes through, keeping ...
...some cases)! I think Crocs (or to be precise the Crocs Cayman - which to me is the definitive Croc) look pretty fugly, but when it comes to shoes I'm one for comfort not looks. The price of Crocs Caymans is £29.99 at most websites, though special offers can be found. I bought mine from office.co.uk, in Celery green colour (as this was reduced to £19.99). I think £29.99 is quite expensive for what is no more than a pair of plastic shoes, however ... Read review

Advantages: hard wearing,light and very very comfortable
Disadvantages: offer little protection from hard/sharp objects, can be warm

...a good one at that. Crocs advertise their product as the most comfortable shoes you will ever wear,and they could be right !! At first sight these look like many other plastic clog type slip ons,but just slip them on to feel the difference, these shoes really are comfortable in the extreme. They are made from an almost jelly like substance which is very light and soft as well as being very durable. The secret to the good fit is the strap that goes ...
...get a little warm but Crocs are bringing out a lined style to over come this. also they are VERY soft , nurses have had problems with dropped syringes going straight through them , I my self use very sharp knives at work and a dropped knife did slice straight through the shoe (but missed my foot i might add). They are very hard wearing, my home pair have been right round the world from Hawaii to the Philipeans and right across europe and Im still ... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, hard wearing, colorful
Disadvantages: You might look like aclown

...For the most part Crocs tend to be worn by women, but over recent years the trend for men wearing them has grown, I think it's a combination of trend setting meeting with comfort. The downside with Crocs are that they look absolutely ridiculous, indeed if you had tried wearing these 10 years ago you might very well have been stabbed to death by some sort of crazed maniac, 20 years ago when I had been at school I would have been on the back end of ...
...still ducks feet. Crocs are designed that the foam kind of moulds to your feet, but not only this they have an orthopaedic base to them which consist of a variety of small soft spikes, they look like they might be uncomfortable but this is honestly not the case. Unlike a lot of other foam style footwear however Crocs are slip resistant, I actually know that some of the hotels in my group are issuing them to kitchen staff, because from a health and ...

Advantages: snug, good range of colours, good fit
Disadvantages: quite pricy,

Expect to pay around £100 for this coat. I used to sail but now my time is spent mostly riding and looking after horses and i adore my SNUG blouson! Apart from being very fashionable in both sailing and riding the coat is extremely warm for both sports. The coat is only showerproof so not much use on extremely rainy days however, it is windproof and does an excellent job. The coat comes in several colours and also available with inner lining colour ... Read review
