My bear claws have seen better days. Looking to buy new boots. Wifey told me about some Irish Setters, 800 grams Thinsulate, Gore Tex, on sale at Cabelas. I have been very happy with the Bear Claws. Opinions? Any suggestions? The big difference here is all Cordura -vs- Cordura/Leather mix.

There are a lot of good boots out there. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the major manufactures. I own Browning, Rocky, Lacrosse, and Itasca. All are great boots.

I know Gander has a pair of Irish Setters that are Gore Tex with 600 grams thinsulate for $80. That seems like an awesome deal. (I may pick up a pair myself.)

Good Luck

i got the danner pronghorns 1000g thinsulate w/gortex...they are a great, comfortable boot and you can walk miles in them...BUT... the eyelets on the top are tiny and the boot string comes off of them all the time and you have to retie CONSTANTLY...otherwise, the best boot i have had.

Sounds like a good deal on the Irish Setters although I have no experience with that boot. I ,like Kodiak, have a pair of Danner Pronghorns. Best pair of boots I have ever had. I haven't had the laces issue as my laces are long on purpose and go around the whole boot one time on top then I double tie the loops. Spent a week in CO elk hunting and they were the ticket then albeit not extreme cold weather. Walking and hiking mainly with some sits lasting up to 2 hours they were great. Paired with the right socks (sorry for the pun) grin.gif they kept my feet in tip top shape. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the IS boots. WG

metrojoe,

I own a pair of the Gander Irish Setters. Not a bad boot. I've pulled the insoles and put in a more rigid pair. The best boot I've owned was the old Danner Osprey's--all leather. The Gander Setters are a good boot for the money though.

When I lived in Red Wing I used to get Irish Setters as seconds from the factory. They had some little blemish or something I couldn't ever even find. Irish Setters are a QUALITY boot. I highly recommend them.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
