I'm in the market for some new boots and am not sure what the best choice would be. I'm tired of getting wet and cold feet, my boots are wore out. They have lasted 9 years I think it's about time for new ones.
Is there really a big difference in how many grams of thinsulate a person gets? I don't want my feet to get to hot when it comes to grouse and pheasant hunting and at the same time I would like my toes to stay warm during the deer firearms seasons.
Probably the obvious choice would be to pick the one in the middle. I was looking at a pair that have the 1000 grams and they felt pretty nice but just for the few minutes I had them on my feet did start to feel warm "indoors". Maybe it was because I was expecting them to get hot, mental thing.
Would I be unhappy going with the 1000g for an over all boot? Should I be going with the 600g to have more comfortable feet in the early fall? Am I expecting to much from one boot? Is there a boot that is good for all seasons?
What has been everyones experience when it comes to boots?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
