greys boo hoo

greys boo hoo

greys mate with the studs absolutely the dogs doo dahs !!!


thats what i thought , ide had several pairs of ron thompson etc ,and just over a year ago i invested in a pair of greys , lovely , i thought ,nice n warm n the flexible softish boots were great ,until a few weeks ago when a little stones embedded it self into the side of the right foot ,resulting in a wet foot when i go in water , gutted, no reciept and over a year old , for me the wellie part of the boot is to soft, bloody hell there waders and should be able to take abit of stick..., i know of another lad who got a pair and holed the foot also only three days old he returned his though due to only having them 3 days, and heard of other occasions ,,,, i now have to fork out myself for a pair ,,,,,,
 
ive a pair of diawa chesties the ones with blackish knee pads had them 3 years now they never leaked on me yet
also my dad got some fron askari catalogue (often advertised in sea angler mag) dunno what he payed for them i use them to launch the boat sturdy boot half on them non slippery and good waders

Had a pair of Diawa chesties last year and used them 3 times a week plus digging every week for 8month and they were spot on until i overstretched when digging and they split at the groin, and never got them sealed properly again, i thought this was good and wanted some more but was advised that the new type of Diawa ones were splitting on the foot. Im after a pair myself, might plump for the Fladen ones, cheap but they reckon thyre good value.
 
I remember giving you some mastic Jamie to fix them did they go at the gusset, anyway what you doing digging at the groyne. snowbee every time:D
 
It worked a treat but they still seeped in after a while, got some hammer last season and hopefully this season aswell. I wasnt digging at the groyne, i was looking for crabs around the groin!!!
 
Bought a set of Greys for last winter because of the studs. Within three months the studs were worn away. Tried to find out if you could buy new studs and was informed NO. Luckily for me there developed a very small leak in one of the feet, so took them back to Frazers who sent them back to Greys for check up. Within two weeks the waders were replaced with a brand new set. That's good service but the only concern I have is the studs wearing away so quickly. I was jokingly told not to use them on the rocks, just for sand!!!!

That must be a fault with them greys i think ,for me the right boot leaked thru a little stone that had embedded itself in the boot , my mate had his the boot torn within a few days , he knows a lad whos had a pair and the foot leaked , and now i find out marty s leaked into the foot , i did also notice the studs worn down quite quick , to me there a rip off ,and not very strong ,altho now they seem to be on everyones legs,,,, im gona go with ocean now i think,,can anyone give me abit of advise on which ocean waders to go for as it looks like theres a few different types...and maybe thigh waders at that .cheers
 
I bought a pair of leeda neoprane chesties off ebay for £15 plus £6 p&p and they still going good

How come you never bring them with you :D

I got some shakespear neoprenes last summer. Split and worn thru on the arse...so i wont be getting them again.

Cheers
