What's the difference between primaloft and thinsulate? I've been looking at a pair of boots with 200g of primaloft and was wondering how they compare with say another pair with 600 g of thinsulate.

Primaloft is more like down with the problems of bunching, price, etc. I can't imagine it being used in boots.

Ploft is warmer per weight, but needs to fluff up more than Thinsulate. I've got Ploft gloves and a dress winter coat that are great--really good and better than my down stuff.

Thinsulate is what I would choose for boots, and for hunting clothing.
