Skeeter, wouldn' the leather have an odor to it?? I'm trying to shy away from the odors and leather is a pretty hard odor to get rid of...and it holds sweat to boot! Plus, all the rubber boots with the 1200 grm insulation are all bulky as compared to the ones with lets say 600. I can't stand having a bulky boot like that up in the tree and 2 pairs of socks don't really cut it for me either...
