Core Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I am cheap so only use fieldblazer II boots all season long. I can tolerate pretty low temps in these as long as I have on two thick pairs of wool socks AND the chemical toe warmers on each foot. Even still if it's windy and well below freezing they'll chill out until I start to move. If I was still hunting I could use them down to 0 with that combo I suspect.

Looking at this one it looks like the battery and charger are exactly the same. I get cold trying to sit still even when it isn't very cold out. I had thermocell heated insoles as well but they were never that great and died last year. I just started using toe warmers and they work much better. Even with a heated vest and toe warmers I am always fighting the cold it seems. I can't remember ever leaving because of the cold but have spent a lot of time on stand not very comfortable.

I know two guys that have them and they swear by them. They also bought an extra battery to carry with them. when one runs out they pop in the extra. If you can regulate your core and keep your hands and feet warm you can stay our in some pretty cold temps for long durations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got such great reviews from out two QDMA branch members that have them, we bought 8 as prizes for our last banquet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt action Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Wasn't there a thread on here last year where the idea came up of wrapping plastic bags around your feet before putting the boots on? Some guys (bionic?) tried it and were surprised at how well it worked. Maybe I'm confusing this with something else.. I usually pack the hot hands foot insoles for the coldest days. They seem to keep me going ok. Also makes a difference to have some room inside the boot for air to provide a barrier between your foot and the cold boot shell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Rubber (insulated) boots generally tend to keep the cold away from your feet better than leather boots. The #1 tip for keeping your feet warn; don't smoke or get old! Do as I say, not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_C Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Nothing too tight. light sock liners and I use carhaart arctic or Vermont darn tough socks. If its really cold, I will switch from mucks to Baffin (crazy warm). Overlayering with lots of socks is worse IMO.I just took one last look at Gander in Tonawanda. They have quite a good selection of Baffin boots 50% off if anyone in the Buffalo area is looking to get new cold weather bootsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_C Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The style at Gander may not be the exact one from that Cabela's pic, but similar. They seemed to be thickly insulated plus an insulated liner of some sort, they were heavy and very stiff. I don't know, I just saw these on the shelf and remembered this thread so I thought I would share in case anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
