Meindl Tree Climber boots, any good?

[LSD]

in the process of stocking up on some new gear and saw these on offer at HB, just wondering if they’re any cop. I’ve done a quick search, but didn’t find any info, got a bit distracted looking at old threads I’d missed, so thought it would be quicker to ask,

 

Also how do people rate the Mata arborsafe helmet, look pretty good, are they any better than a vertex or stein?

 

Thanks

My mate always has them, he loves the quite a light boot not to sure whether they have the gortex lining like the air stream. Nod sells the at treeworker. Think i may buy a pair for the summer and see how they go.

these tree climber boots dont have the gore-tex lining like the waldlaufers and airstreams, but other than that they are just as good a boot i think, you just have to keep putting polish or dubbin on them.

Cool, think I’m gonna get me some, they’re a lot cheaper , only £133 from honeys,

 

Next thing what do people recon to manta hard hat?

 

Think there might be some H&S issues with this colour though

id say go for the waldlaufers myself, £148 from fr jones if i remember, well worth the extra money for the goretex lining i think.

wouldnt bother with that helmet mate very heavy and a questionable CE/EN Number as i dont think it can conform to two EN standards, thats my veiw from what ive seen but i may be wrong.

Sorry to jump on this thread. I've just ordered some more protector pro's today but wondered what the difference was with the protector pro lites?
