£100 plus for 6 months that is not economic to my mind.
That's why I buy the proper 'Made in Scotland' Hunters from eBay! I've got pairs that are 20-25 years old that are in far better condition than Chinese-made Hunters that are just a few months old.

I still wear my cheap green PVC wellies that are approaching 30 years of age and I have just as much fun in them now as I did when they were new ;)

I quite agree with what has been said above, my own experience of the 'fashion' hunters bear this out and my experience dates back to before they were made abroad. On the other hand I have had many years of use from my Argyll's and similar marques. Just recently I have bought a pair of Peter Storm wellies for around twenty pounds and so far, I have found them most comfortable and satisfactory both in use and manufacture.
