RE: How much Thinsulate in Boots is good?
My Rockies have a 1000 grams and are warm one almost all days. Needs to get below 0 for the toes to get cold.
IMHO more important then the boots are the socks. You absolutely need to wear two layers. One wicking layer to remove the perspiration from the skin and one insulation layer. I wear wicking socks under a pair of smartwool socks.
