Re: Cold weather boots ? brand , insulation ?
I just finished breaking in my 8" Wolverine's pathfinder 600 gram of ultra insulation - got it primarily for bowhunting and in between temps/ season here in MT. It is very light and comfortable for it's size and it was $40 off (reg $120) at BassPro. I also got a pair of gaiters for extra added protection just in case I needed while I am afield.
Good luck!
Ed

Re: Cold weather boots ? brand , insulation ?
I don't know if the link will work or not but most of the trappers and coon hunters have gone to wearing these. You never need to worry about getting wet, they are very comfortable, and they last a very long time. They are good boots that work like waders only they are comfortable and outlast three pairs of waders.

I've also used & abused them at work & they hold up well. I am harder on my equipment than most folks, & demand the best because of this.
As mentioned before, gaiters help keep jeans dry, & laces from icing up. If its nasty out, I wear Filson tin-pants over my jeans & boot tops. This also keeps laces from icing up to bad, plus it keeps me warm while knocking snow off brush.
I see your from Wa. st. So your probably already familiar with Whites, & Hawthorne out of Spokane. You may like the idea of having quality rebuildable & reliable footwear.

I agree with winmag, the White's are hard to beat. Big R usually has a great in stock selection right now and I think they are running $189.
Good luck,

I love my Danner Trophies, but for cold and snow it's hard to beat my SCHNEE"S HUNTER II's! I have the 13" height boot and I love them. Great traction and comfort. Try Schnee's on the internet and I think you will be impressed by what you see!

When it really cold or I am going to sit a bit, I like my cowboy cut Whites, or if it is a long ride in. Buy then snow is usually deep for traction.

Re: Cold weather boots ? brand , insulation ?
I fancy Muck Boots. I personally wear the Woody Max and have had no complaints the last 4 years. I am hoping to get another 4 out of them.
