Extreme Cold Weather Mountain Boots - 10/08/10
Hey Guys,
I am coming to a bit of a cross-roads here in some boot selection and thought I'd bounce some ideas around here.
I have 2 very extreme sheep hunts that involve long periods of sitting for upwards of 8-10 hours in the hills this November. I'd like something with 'decent' stability and yet have the warmth to take a guy into December for foot warmth.
I was going to go with the Lundhag Polar Quest boot from Lathrop and Sons, but they dont have any that fit (the one I tried is quite tight, not something I"d like for a cold weather boot).
My other ideas are the following....
Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 1000
Schnee's Extreme Pac Boot
Kenetrek Northern Pac Boot
Lowa Sheephunter GTX
I have worn the Lowa Sheephunter for a few years and wear them almost all season long for a lot of the hunting I do. Only problem I see is a bit of 'warmth' issues for long days in the cold weather. I almost thought of using a 'booty' system to keep them warm once I was sitting somewhere.
Thoughts, suggestions, etc?
