Replacement CV boots?

What brands have people had luck with, for extended periods of time? I put on Beck Arnley replacements 2/2018 (so less than 2 years and 10k miles ago) and outer boot is shot already. Would rather not spend more than half the price of an aftermarket CV just for an OEM boot kit, but if that's what I've gotta do...

For the search record, part numbers I ordered were 1032927 (103-2927) and 1032957 (103-2957) Avoid these unless you like doing boots every year.

Thanks for the input. Wish they had a little more technical info on them for that price. Little bit cheaper than OEM though.

Looks like Febest is spamming the OEM #s everywhere and touting "German quality control" without actually saying where they're made, so probably China. One of the Febest boot images is on eBay although seller doesn't state brand on that listing, but someone left a poor review with a pic of the rubber rotting out like mine is. Seems like all the low cost ones might be "get what you pay for"

OEM kit part numbers are same for LHS and RHS - 04427-60080 Bosch Toyota looks to have cheapest price as usual at $47. Leaning towards that right now as the OEM did survive 10 years and 100k+ miles in Houston heat and a couple more up here in the salt, but still open to other suggestions if anyone has them.

I replaced my torn OEM with CVJ axles, the standard ones. Replace them both again about two years later with the same and chalked it up to bad luck.

When they tore again a year ago I opted for the OEM boots off eBay. You can tell a huge difference just feeling them. OEM is more plastic than rubber as opposed to the others. They’re way more rigid, you’ll see what I mean when you get them.
