Main thing is; I haven't got wet in them yet. > what are other peoples opinions ? > >Is it normal ? Yes. >Am I expecting too much ? I think so but I haven't tried any of them really expensive waterproofs. >Will they just tell me to treat them with waterproofing ? They might give you new ones and eBay the ones you have? -- Mark Roberts |
