The Hunter's are warm enough for about 70% of what I do. My job however, inspecting power lines, will at times require me to be relatively inactive for extended periods of time. If it is going to be below zero and I won't be active I wear the Extreme's with their 1000gr of insulation. Otherwise the hunter's with either danner merino socks for milder weather or smartwool for a bit colder weather are perfect. If your going to be inactive in cold weather the extreme's (I am sure the box said Arctic but IDK, the site says they're Extreme's) are your choice. If your going to be moving around a lot in anything above -10 the Extreme's get downright hot.

Looks like you have made up you mind, so for what it's worth.

If you need a lot of arch support for me they are not the best.

If you need or conditions require a lot of ankle support for me they are not the best.

Sizing is hard to get right via mail order.

For warmth with extra liners they are excellent.

Have a pair and really like them for most non steep conditions.

Have hunted elk only three times. In the Bob Marshall they were not enough boot. Outside of Chama, NM in a not so mountainous area they would have been good.
