My experience of the B2’s hasn’t been as good as yours.
My first pair leaked the very first time I wore them in the rain
I was out in Ireland for a week and the weather wasn’t so good, almost came back with swamp foot, took them back to Bevan’s and they gave me a new pair
These leaked also
not as bad as the first though, and by the time I took them back they were just out of the guarantee
I was told to give Feridax a ring who are the UK supplier, after speaking to Matthew there, He told me there was nothing they could do
when I inquired about the Gore-Tex liner being guaranteed for life, He said hang on and I’ll just check, then told me to return them to Bevan’s
and they’d send them onto Feridax
who in turn would send them to Sidi in Italy
To cut a very long story short, 3monthes later they sent them back and rejected the warranty claim
I was right pissed off, especially as my very first pair of Sidi boots (Black Rain’s) lasted 7 years before they started to leak.
I’ve just bought a pair of Alpine star S-MX 5 water proof’s from Hein Gericke - £200, but they were doing a deal – if you spend over £160 they'd give you a £40 off voucher, so ended up paying £160, I wore these to Ireland in the rain this year n me feet were nice n dry again.
The moral of this story is –
ALWAYS BLOODY RAINING IN IRELAND
