I can only wear mine if I am out all day (~8hrs+), standing on ice like ice fishing, or if it is 0 degrees or colder.
A friend who at the time was a graduate student in Volcanology at the Gee Whiz at UAF wore a pair of bunnies on Mt Augustine after the '75 (IIRC) eruption. Feet stayed cool and the boots came back white from the pumice scrub!
