Gentlemen,
Thanks for your input.
High Mountain - I ordered a pair before you posted. Sorry. But I bookmarked your site forthe future - some great kit and deals there!
KLM - I know a lot of guys opt for the skivy and water shoe solution. But, two things for me - I had a mild case of frostbite in my Army days many moons ago, and my feet tend to be very cold sensitive, so I would rather avoid any exposure if I can. Plus, I would rather not drop trou in bear country and have MR. Murphy schedule a little surprise.
It would be a hell of a story, though....
