RE: Artic Shield Overboot Insulators
I have the Icebreaker boot blankets; bulky, but very warm. As far as a recommendation for gloves, try the Handblanket also from Icebreaker. I use this as my primary hand warmer during the winter hunts. It has a warm fleece liner on the inside, water and wind repelant outer shell. When using the handblanket, I don't even wear other gloves. Put in a chemical handwarmer, and you should be good to go even in the coldest weather. I just purchased some blaze orange mechanic gloves for this year. I hope to use these when climbing with the treestand. After that, gloves come off, and hands go into the handblanket. You can even tie it around your waist so that when you need to shoot, it isn't in the way. I found both at Gander Mountain, but I think you can get them at Cabels too.

They are deffinately not made for walking in. You put them on once you get to your stand and take them off when leaving. I shot a deer and in the excitement forgot to take them off as there were plenty of other hunters around. Anyway I put a hole in them by stepping on a stick. They still work fine after a little duct tape. I reccomend them to anyone who needs to keep their feet warm but doesn't want the added bulk of insulated boots. They stow away well in a pack or back of hunting vest.
