lightweight and long lasting ? As tresrgr8 says 9 months or so and thats it as a guide. they are worn 7-8 hours a day 5-6 days a week in some tough conditions but if you spend £200 + i want atleast 18 months or so . just remember if you look after the boots they will look after you eg, use nikwax etc.

Lightest ones I've tried are the Haix Protector Lights but they're not waterproof (pair of SealSkinz socks cures that easily enough though).

Elten aquafell are my faves, very grippy when climbing, comfy, even wear them after work when walking the dog (yeah, i have a yo-yo)
