RE: whats boots to buy
I just bought the Cabelas INFERNOS... light weight.. 2000 grams.. would be easy to hike in too in extreme cold or snowmobile.. outside of sitting all day.. It was warm here this weekend around 28-32 so I couldnt really test them but should be able to when I go to ND.
My feet got JUST cold enough this year a few times so far that I'll be finishing the season out in these after next week... 2,000 grams of Thinsulate. Cabela's "Inferno" boot -- rated to minus 140.

I'm curious how these boots fit compared to the Predator Extremes. They look a little less bulky, but are they as warm?

This could be the best $60-70 you'll ever spend if you hunt in cold temps. Mickey Mouse Army isuue cold weather boots.

Wear them ice fishing the most.

I have yet to find a boot that will work the entire season.

Dan, I don't remember looking at the ones you mentioned... I haven't pulled the trigger yet as I'm waiting for $1,000 to be dumped onto my Rewards card from my company (good at Bass Pro and Cabelas, among others ). I'll check out the ones you mentioned... though I do think it's going to be hard to get past the sound of having 2,000 grams of Thinsulate wrapped around my feet while on stand in December!

There's a lot more to a boot being warm than the ammount of Thinsulate it has.
