Sorry Tony. Not taking the p_ _ _ at all ( this time ). I missed the word 'breathable' when I read your post. I haven't seen those ones before. Will be interested to read your product review.
I just looked at the radar Stringy. You're right. I don't think I would want to be there at the moment. At least the rain might keep to March flies and mozzies at bay
A review is easy Russ, I first bought a pair 2 years ago, and they are awesome! One error I made however, was underestimating the fragility of the neoprene booties, and without wearing sandals or similar over the booties, I soon inflicted minor cuts on the soles which in due course allowed water to seep inside, never more than an eggcup or so, but enough to dampen anything worn inside.. The new ones will never touch the round...
In on emergency, I have actually swum in them, and they were just fine. The (necessary) included wader belt kept most water out of the legs, and whe I stood up, there was about 10-15 litres trapped above my waist, but only about 1/5 a litre down in my feet.
They are really brilliant in cooler weather, as staying dry and out of the wind reduces the need for other layers.
