Right! Vent alert ๐จ ๐
Iโm fed up with buying โwaterproofโ boots and coats only to discover that they are โnotโ waterproof. I spend a lot - ok a fortune , on quality brands like Scarpa, Helle Hanson, Reincoat -most recently, only to discover after our beautiful weather, that they do not do what they say! Result is not only a soggy doggy but a soggy ( and fed up) dog walker!!
Reincoat replaced my first ( excellent customer service btw) and sent me a second, only to experience the same issue with the sleeves soaking up the water this week. Scarpa replaced a pair of leather boots, I bought another pair of goretex only to be soaked after an hour - what the hec?!!
If anyone can PLEASE help me (in recommending actual waterproof clothing that WORKS), my skin and my bank balance to stay dry Iโd so appreciate it ๐ฉ๐
