We are a family run independent department and online store, which has been trading in Hereford since 1845. Our 3 stores sell brands such as Barbour, Musto, Le Chameau, Brabantia and Denby.
I've purchased some very expensive Agile boots and I'm unable to get them off specifically the right boot, I think it sucks to my foot and my ankle and leg might be fatter so it;s a 30min battle to get the thing off (so like you say you dont wear them) they are years old now so can't return them is there anything I can do to modify the boot to aid taking them off?
Hi John, unfortunately our only suggestions would be to use a boot jack and/or to pull from the heel (probably with some help!) to help you get the wellies off.
My Hunter Balmorals split above the ankle bone on both wellies in around 9 months. I had two sets and they both did the same. I bought gumleaf invictus. Very comfy. Easy to drive the car in them. They now give me wet feet after 6 months ownership. Im a dog walker and walk across wet moorlands 5 days a week and i cant seem to find anything that lasts longer than 6-9 months. Ive ordered the Aigle ones you have in this video. I wonder if they will survive. In defence of the Hunter Balmoral they have a fantastic level of confidence in the grip on that sole. Bit too hard and not fun to drive in but the safety on your feet was noticeably better than the Vibram sole on the gumleaf. Maybe i just need to see them as consumables due to the level of usage i give them. Thx
Hi Barry, this jacket doesn't have the ability to zip a liner/gilet in at all, Oakham gilet or otherwise. It's not a problem to layer the gilet under the jacket, but it's not possible to physically zip a gilet into it. The Oakham gilet is not designed as a “zip in” liner to any jacket that we’re aware of. If you’re looking for a jacket and liner combo, you’re probably better off looking at the Barbour coats which have this ability, but then you’d still need a Barbour liner or gilet that is a compatible zip in option.
Hi Kevin, camouflage isn't that common in the UK when it comes to shooting jackets. It's a different style of game shooting than I think you'd find in the US and the camouflage isn't necessary, the green and brown tones are perfectly sufficient.
Wow! In the USA I never heard of a special jacket just for shooting. Most people I know just wear something in the woodland camouflage pattern, often military surplus.
Yep, even if the boots look clean. Wipe the boot down with a damp, lint free cloth to get all mud, grime, dust etc off (I use a rag/strip from a clean old shirt, sock etc), make sure you get the gunk out of the welts, too (may need a small head SOFT bristle toothbrush for that, though). I’d also give the conditioner a few hours to sink in, conditioner in the morning and polish in the evening.
Hi thank you for your comment! This was the first video with a new person behind the camera, and if you watch our more recent videos you'll note that the camera work does improve :)
I've had Chameau's which without doubt look the best but the rubber deteriorated quite quickly, changed to Aigle's totally agree, not so stylish but much more robust and the rubber has not deteriorated.
i live on the pennine moors ...very boggy wet land, would wellies be ok for hiking on this land , for example 15km hike? through wet boggy land...or would you stick with walking boots which ALWAYS GET WET ONCE THE DEPTH OF THE MUD GOES OVER YOUR ANKLES.
Hello! We would normally recommend walking boots for hiking as they will be far more comfortable than wellies for long distance walking. An alternative to wellies or walking boots we would suggest checking out stalking boots, they're taller than your average walking boot, sitting more of a mid calf height than the usual ankle height of walking boot. Stalking boots are designed to be comfortable for long days walking in the fields and across boggy land, so it is probably the best option for you. I'm attaching a link to the Harkila Pro Hunter Light Hi GTX boots as an example of a good stalking boot, but there are lots of other great brands out there! www.philipmorrisdirect.co.uk/harkila-pro-hunter-light-hi-gtx-boots/
The latest Dunlop Fieldpro wellies are very comfortable for long walks, definitely worth a look. Bekina Steplite & Litefield also good. Modern polyurethane wellies are surprisingly comfy over long distances. They don't have as much ankle support as boots, but are much cheaper & lower maintenance.
Le Chameau’s are by far the most stylish I own a pair and like how I look in them I also own a pair of Aigle’s Not so stylish I choose to put the Aigle’s on every day.
Hello, we compiled a list of the wellies featured in this video from left to right as you see them in the video: Aigle - Parcours 2 ISO (Holding when talking about sole unit) Barbour - Tempest (Holding when talking about fit) Le Chameau - Chasseur Leather Lined Heritage 1845 - Haywood Neo (Holding when talking about natural rubber content) Harkila - Orton Gusset Ultimately the best welly is that welly that best fits you and suits your needs. We've also created a blog with some recommendations based on what you might be using your wellies for which may also be of help :)
Nice coats, all too heavy for our walked up days on the fells and imagine the tears when you catch that £400 Schoffel on the wire clambering over double strand barbed wire .....ouch Perfect for driven but us spaniel lads have drifted towards more lightweight gear.
I'd prefer a DEERSTALKER hat. It is warm, If need be the earflaps can be taken down, it can be fastened and it has that extra protection at the back of your neck. But the main Advantage: it Looks incredibly stylish!
Hi. Thanks for your videos. Have you done one on how to replace the pull cord on a Linoprotect 400 by any chance? Leifheit have sent me a new cord but no instructions on how to access where the cord attaches to the inner shaft. Thanks Brian
Hi Luke.Thanks for your reply (below). I followed your advice checking the lines and runners that the lines are attached to for each and every segment . No problems and the lines are all free. The arms still will not close. The red grab handle that is pulled to lift the arms appears to stop the arms from decending where this handle sits against the vertical pole. When the arms are lifted by pulling the handle the arms ascend up the pole and the red grab handle hangs down loose about 9"". As your previous advice did not lead to a solution do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.
My lineomatic will not collapse. All lies seem ok when up but it only goes down with the line that raises it becoming tight & the red finger grip on end of line against the pole. Is it something in the top of the main post that has stuck? There is a plastic cover on the top that I guess can be removed
Good morning Carl, many thanks for your comment. If your rotary is similar to the style demonstrated in the video then the plastic covers at the ends can be removed to allow you to check each row of clothesline to see if any lines or connectors have become stuck that are preventing you from collapsing the rotary arms.
Hello Ana, many thanks for your comment! The stabilizers are designed to stabilize the movement of the chair, not lock it in a fixed position, therefore you may find there is still some movement with body force. If you feel the recliner still moves too freely then we would advise contacting Lafuma or your place of purchase to see if they can advise further. We hope this helps!
This really helped me out. I wasn’t able to stretch it out. One of the cords were stuck inside the arms. Took all parts out, put the cord in the right way but I failed putting the cord holders and weights back in correct way. Thank you for explaining.
The older ones have 4 pockets, the newer ones have hand warmer pockets instead of the top pockets which are handy (no pun) The tartan linings are different too. I have the original one but I think the newer ones are better.
