I suppose a little background info would make this more fair. I currently wear Wesco timber calks. I also have some White insulated pacs, I \would hjave gone witht he Hoffman's but my wife found these on Craigslist for super cheap. They ar bulky, but warm and dry, for the worst of winter.
My Wescos rolled out on me really bad. I'm still wearing them, god forbid, but I'm working on a whole new getup.
My feeling is that they rolled out on me really bad because I 1. worked in them in all but the worst conditions, including lots of wet conditions
and 2. I oiled the piss out of them regularly planning on making it through last winter with them alone- but I broke down and got the pacs.
I've had wescos roll out and stretch, others not. They fit me good (new), keep my feet dry, I like their calks. Its tough to say how much of this is speculation and how much is real.
So, given a predominantly wet season is coming on, my thought is to maybe check out the uninsulated pac, or the Xtra Tuff, as a still a bit warm wet weather alternative to leathers, so the next pair of leathers can stay in better shape.
Argh this is an expensive business!
Thanks for the info.
