The boots themselves won’t last you for life, I’ve got a few pairs of clapped out boots from them.

But I will continue buying Muck boots for life, because the quality and comfort is amazing. Light, warm, great grip and obviously waterproof.

I’ve got one of these for a couple years now and use it daily. I suspect unless I were to physically lose it somehow, I suspect I’ll be using it forever. I especially like the two layer filter and the fact that they included spare filters discs with the purchase!

I landed up washing stuff by hand to avoid them most of the time! But washing things on gentle does help and also using mesh delicates bags. Even with my own much gentler front loaders, I still like to wash things like leggings in them to keep them from getting tangled up. Also, make sure you sort your stuff by heavy versus light. Our doublefront work pants get their own loads, just like you do with towels.

The Speed Queens just seem to have a very aggressive agitator. Even back in the day when t-shirts were thicker, I went through so many of them!

Have you tried linen? I’m similar and I found that after much trial and error I found that for me linen sheets and a linen quilt work well. I add a down comforter on top in the winter but the linen layers seem to keep me cool.

I also read somewhere while on this quest that a lower quality down comforter with a higher percentage of feathers can give you more heft and “cuddle” without the excessive warmth. I’m currently using an ikea comforter that is 90% feather and it’s working nicely.
