Chances are that this material will stop a striking snake from actually penetrating the material and making contact with your skin.In a real life situation a snake will strike and when it notices it has made contact,it will subsequently "reload" for the next assault. The pressure you exerted trying to get the needle to penetrate (I presume) was fairly forceful. If not, then those are indeed a cruddy pair of snake boots. A more accurate way in determining the resistivity your boots will offer is to realistically try to simulate a real life encounter (with a real snake). Fill your boots with water balloons and (simulate the same pressure and force a realistic encounter would) after your experiment, ifyour boots are wet, I would get a refund! There are boots manufactured that DO a great job!

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THE DIAMOND BACK STRIKES WITH, AND IF THEY HIT HIGH OR LOW ON THE LEGS?

Gerald: If you go to http://www.warwickmills.com/ you will find much information on the manafacture of the various puncture restistant fibers, such as kevlar, cordura, etc. The tightness of the weave is what is supposed to stop a puncture from a fang or needle. There seem to be some government standards on puncture resistance, so you might contact Rocky Boots and ask them what standard there product qualified for. Just follow the many links to the Warwick information pages for the different products. You will also find the force that diamondback rattlesnakes exert when biting, and the depth of penetration for the materials used in snake proof clothing. Hope this helps. JohnZ

Gerald: As to the strike of a diamondback rattlesnake, most recorded bites are below knee level, although a large rattlesnake can reach higher than that.

I prefer ROCKY Outdoor Gear snake boots. They're lightweight like a rubber boot but I've been struck multiple times by snakes and nothing's ever penetrated. I also like that they have Gore-Tex bootie liners so I can wade through shallow waters without worrying about leakage. I found a great deal for them here: http://SnakeProtection.com
