Thread: Southland Sliipers - Redbands or others

Hello Folks

My bloody redbands are leaking, blown out just behind the ball of my foot, both left and right. I'm pretty pissy cause they always leak in the same place, and I always keep the spare that doesn't when I buy the new pair. Last time one started to leak I found I actually had the correct side in the spares dept. However that was a few months ago and as mentioned both have now crapped out. So thats not much over 12-15 months from a pair of Redbands plus backup.

I went to town to get a new pair and flaming heck, a pair of Redbands is just over $100, and Quatto's (which I find are a bit heavy) were $205.

So - if you wear gumboots everyday what are you wearing these days and how long do they last?? I really like shorties, as light as possible. Thoughts?
