I would say wear the boot that will appropriate for the weather/terrain conditions. All feet sweat, especially if moving, so wearing a warmer boot vs not quite as insulated really won’t matter much. Others can disagree, this is my way, choose if you will. Vapor barrier to prevent wetting out...

Thanks, I will surely pass that on.

I had suggested to him that his boots were likely old as rubber/plastic will decay overtime especially if not used, but still wanted to ask for him as question to me. I just wanted to post as I don’t proclaim to be an expert and wondered if there were truly boots made for limestone as I’ve never...

When looping Cardigan-Firescrew, coming back into treeline on FS, went left to avoid some thick ice, it was quite grey with some gnarly hardened scrub, well I leaned a bit left and felt something sharp hit my neck at my caratoid, I immediately thought, great, I'm going to bleed out and die here...

I had seen these a bit ago on an Army Navy site. Very different price than Ragged Mt. I haven't tried to purchase yet but will when I have my card number handy. The only thing I noticed is that they don't offer sizing. One size fits all, my guess is they have mediums. will call to verify...
