ArcticShield boot covers
 

Has anybody tried these, sitting for an extended period of time in cold weather? (Saw them advertised in Bass Pro for about $40.00). I remember someone on here talking about trying the gloves at a show they were at, wondered about the boot covers?

I looked at these long and hard. I purchased some Rocky boots with 600 grams of thinsulate ultra, and considered these to compliment them. I am a freak of nature, with a 3E foot width, and "normal" width boots constrict my blood flow, leading to cold feet no matter what I do. I bought the Rockys in their widest width, which I believe is 2E, and they are much more comfortable, although I still can't wear thick socks, only poly liner socks. I wanted to see if 600 grams of thinsulate would be enough before I bought the articshield covers, and while I didn't get cold feet from constriction, yesterday told me 600 grams while not moving sitting in a treestand in below 30* temps isn't enough. I plan to by some articshields before next season, and like the fact that they are not bulky and can easily be carried in my daypack...

I have a pair of overboots & like them alot. I wear a pair of light pack boots to walk, then put them on when I sit. That way I don't get too warm or tired from heavy insulated boots while walking. Just a tip though, if the boots are wet or muddy I knock the mud off & don't put the booties on right away. Let your boots dry off a little first. They seem to work better when the boots inside are not too wet.

Had one of my employees put an Artic Shield on one foot and a Boot Blanket on the other foot. He couldn't return the Artic Shield fast enough.

Thanks all, glad for the info.

Len, how 'bout the boot blankets? Do they actually work well?

Rangeball: I use them. Except for being a little bulky, they work very well. You can't walk in them. I tell all my customers this because we actually had a few ruin them by walking with them on.
