[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1803835, member: 54178"] BOOTS: [I]Sorel Felt Pacs [/I]or (for backcountry skiing) [I]SCARPA T3 plastic ski boots.[/I] SOCKS: [I]thin poly liner socks 3 mm closed cell neoprene foam divers socks[/I] over the poly liners. These act as a Vapor Barrier Liner (VBL) to keep sweat from getting into your felt liners. This is ESSENTIAL for warm feet all day long. US Divers brand is best for these VBLs. When camping remove socks, put poly liners in a ZipLoc bag (tightly sealed ;o) and turn the divers socks inside-out to dry for 15 minutes then put in the foot of your sleeping bag ALONG WITH your felt of foam boot liners so you have warm feet in the morning. Put on fresh liner socks and heavy wool "sleep socks". It takes only one morning with painfully cold toes to remember to do this. Hint-> Telescope your boot shell tops, one over the other, to keep out wind driven snow and place in your tent vestibule. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
