TR,

Ya, it is the European brand of Gore-Tex. I think it is called Sympatex or something to that and only offered in their "waterproof" line of boots.

You hit the nail right on the head when it comes to water over the boot, especially boots with Gore-tex and similar materials. No drain holes there. This discussion just reminded me of the old days when we use to put plastic bags over our feet before putting our buckle up boots on in the winter.

I remember David (TTOS) was wearing a pair of Courtney boots. I guess he had a few pairs leftover from his Selous Scout days.
