I have worn Hunter Wellies all my life, the English variety, in traditional hunter green. They are indeed a bot clammy and offer no protection from the cold, although when relatively new, are truly waterproof and light on the foot, important factors when one is moving around the stable and farm all day. I am, however, growing tired of replacing them every two years, as they tend to crack across the vamp and along the edge where the stress of bending your foot deteriorates the rubber. Given your post, I think I'll try the French Le Chameau variety next. I won't see myself coming and going in this world of Brit horsey set wannabees and my feet may thank me for it. cheers Thanks for this post.
