I have heard of Steep and Cheap, though these days UPS will happily swallow any savings I might have made, in their carriage charges. The UK Post Office now charge for collecting Duty on behalf of HMRC BTW.

Nice Snow Report, Admin. Concise and on-topic :thumbup:

They do get a lot of returns but bear in mind 20 days use is around a year for most people. Mostly people are secretly perfectly happy with this, they want a new jacket every year or anyway.

Ah,yes, good points and quite true for a lot of folks. Now, can I justify a new jacket, as I've been wearing the same one for 2 winters :D

:oops: Glove thread..sorry :lol:

Hestra state they are waterproof as well, so maybe you were unlucky with a faulty pair??

Waterproof is a relative term for clothes. Unless you have an impermeable membrane then everything has a saturation point and will let water in sooner or later. Mostly the idea Goretex is waterproof is a sham, the true life is often only around 20 days before performance is degraded.

Have your Hestra's ever let in water? I have no evidence that mine have leaked, though the leather does get soggy and feel heavy in warm wet conditions.

If I purchased a goretex product and it degraded after 20 days or so, the retailer would be receiving a parcel from me, since the typical warranty is a year.

Prepping the base and doing your edges is the sort of behaviour skiers exhibit. I wonder if you are hankering after freeing your feet )
