been usin' Aquastealth since the mid 90's........prolly bought my first pair of them in '96.......somewhere in there..............haven't used felt since before that...........felt is highly irresponsible............in terms of the transfere of invasive paristies, and the diseases the carry........not to mention dedimo...etc.............whirling disease spores can live in dry felt for up to three years and still wreck havoc once the felt gets wet again............and do you know how many people will actually take the time to do a bleach solution bath/wash of their boots, after every single time they go fishin'.............?..................right..............virtually none..........myself included. i'll admit it...........i'm to damn lazy.............so, where aquastealth..............you don't gotta worry bout it.
