    These Le Chameau rubber boots with Vibram hiking boot soles and fitted by us with carbon-fibre foot-pad inserts are the best we have ever had. And believe me when you are stalking otters from a boggy Scottish island coast, you need rubber boots. And they would be a better match for your GA :-O Lee

    You are most welcome. I used to work for a Swedish company in the rubber seals business and the word for rubber is the same in Swedish: Gummi. From which much must come a very old-fashioned name in the UK for rubber boots: gum boots, which used to puzzle me as a lad. Lee

    Oh Ted, if only life were that simple. GA stands for Gummi Armierung which means Rubber Armour in German, hence its use by Zeiss for the Dialyt 10x40 B GA T* with black armour that I used to have. Sorry to be a besserwisser which I think is German for smart alec. Lee
