These boots boast GORE-TEX lining with 800 grams Thinsulate. They have worked very well for me since purchase in late October 2002. I have hunted 65 degrees down to -10(F) in them. My feet have stayed dry and comfortable. The sole does a very good job keeping traction in even the slickest conditions. Breathability is good depending on socks worn. My best luck so far has been with Carhart socks.

On Bob' s scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being top of the scale, these boots rate a solid

I hope this may help some of you whom are looking for new skins for the coming year. I hunted Deer, Dove, Ducks, Geese and Pheasants while tied up in these boots. The price at time of purchase, $99.99. I do not get paid to test gear, so I think this is a bargain!
