I'm with you on that one!

Gortex socks mate!!! then you can wear whatever the hell you want.the Old army issue ones were the best ever piece of issue kit IMO.

I have heard the Dubbin thing too but no more than that rumour

I've always used this Nikwax shit
Fabric and leather proof | sponge on / spray on waterproofing
and with Huntech gaiters I've always found that it worked for me - I reapply say every couple of 3-day hunt trips

and never dry leather in front of a fire but y'all knew that

I buy it in shoe repair shops

I have been trying to find Goretex socks for a while now with no luck. Any pointers as to where I might find some?

Join the army by the look of it Pengy!

Every once and a while they pop up in Kiwi disposals or peruse tard me or.......................become friends with a Fairforce member as they don't wear much green gear but usually have a closet full of the shit that's still in plastic.about the only thing they are good for really

Pommy grunts ?? Care to explain. I never heard that one before.
