Hi,

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  I'm going to re-use my existing CV
boots assuming they all pass inspection...  and get a spare Rockford
boot to take on the road with me.

It's hard to believe with all the modern technology we have, a modern CV
boot can't be made that's even more durable than the old ones.

Cheers,
Steve W.
