Tend to agree but don't even think its location specific. I've hunted in 22 below in Colorado during 4th elk season, 12 below in second season Colorado, and 70 degrees in Colorado in the first season. Most years it runs 15-20 in the AM, 40-45 in the PM. For me, I always take 2 pair boots - 400 gr and uninsulated. I wear the 400 gr most of the time because I do alot of sitting and watching glassing in the PM. If I'm covering ground looking for elk, the uninsulated go for the walk, plus they tend to be lighter weight. If I'm backpacking I take whichever pair will cover the temps while I'm out. Can't go wrong with 2 pair Meindls - one insulated, 1 uninsulated.
