I think I might need a pair of thicker socks as they are a tiny amount too big on one foot, but nevertheless, fantastic providing you dont want to wallow in mud and puddles.
Also picked this up on the cheap as it was on offer, plus we get an extra 25% from John lewis.

Perfect to sling on for damp days, providing you already have a jumper on or summink.

You've bought some Muck Boots and one is a different size to the other.
And you've bought a non waterproof jacket for damp days?
Lets hope it's a dry Winter with not much walking to do
I do appear to have odd sized matching feet so I can't help that!
And the coat is weather resistant more than proof, but primarily more as another layer for a chilly/damp day/eve.
Having said that, i did get caught out in a shower a few days ago and i kept dry underneath so it must be weather something.
I do have a couple of waxed jackets but can't really be doing with the weight of them, so i purchased a quilted weatherproof Stormforce coat and that is fantastic, although i can't remember the name of it as they don't have them on the inside!

Anybody able to recommend a good 'casual' type walking trouser? I have what I would term 'technical' kit from revolution race etc. for more purposeful walks but I want something that matches with my barbour that's a little more suited to being in the forest than Jeans.
If you wanna be trendy look at items from Penfield and Patagonia.AngryPartsBloke said:

I have a couple of waxed jackets but don't find them particularly heavy. Does anyone else experience this issue - am I just used to them?Doesn’t bother me, find it reassuring as I know the North Face wouldn’t take kindly to hacking through the bushes.

In essence they shouldn't be super heavy as they are meant for having layers underneath. Are you talking trendy wax jackets or the full on sheep herder 3 quarter length wax jacket? The Moose said:

I'm looking for a hat to wear, when walking the dog in the rain. I want to stop the rainwater running down my neck.
It's often a bit drafty when it's raining, so I want it to stay on in the wind, but try to keep the rain out of my neck.
Something between the brim on a sun hat, and the brim on a sombrero.
Oh, and it would be nice to not look like Crocodile Dundee too. I live in Devon, not the Walkabout Creek!

Have a look at the Helikon range , some of them are less walty than others, I bought a pair and they are all I have worn over lockdown.louiebaby said:

Deerstalker for me, used for the dog walking / training, fishing and shooting. Only in summer do I go for a baseball type cap.I'm looking for a hat to wear, when walking the dog in the rain. I want to stop the rainwater running down my neck.

But stops rain from glasses and neck very effectively
Plus it’s upcycled so you can feel smug

Looks good, thanks. I don't care if the wife hates it, she doesn't walk the dog with me in good weather, nevermind bad!But stops rain from glasses and neck very effectively

I take it that it's waterproof enough.

I’ve never had an issue but I did treat it with some proofing spray as well. The filson might be better as I think it’s wax impregnated. But I wear my Brazil hat often when it looks like rain, don’t remember it failing.I take it that it's waterproof enough.

Also got some waterproof boonie hats
