Cheers guys.
hey, just wondering, what are the prospects for ventile lined shoes <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. i have some great leather lined leather boots, the Borneo by Meindl. they've never leaked water but that's because i've relied on the water repellency of the polish etc for relatively short periods of time.

also, does anyone know why R. Mears uses Gore-tex? is he paid to?
