I have a couple of buddies that have Klim and Hmk but nither are totally happy!! I have worn Browning Hunting boots for the past 15 years or so. I am on my second pair and I woundent buy anything else! Totally water proof 1000g of thinsolate and gortex. I mast have 500 mile of walking in huting season on these and 6 or 7 years of sledding Paid 300.00 buck for them years ago. Always warm and dry and you can walk for miles in them try that with sledding boots!!

I ride the new Polaris and some other are having problems, the polaris sprays up a llot of snow, more so on the left foot and with in an hour my left foot is soaked. I had to go with a rubber insulated boot. I picked them up at Peavy mart $130.00. They say they are good for a 100 below but thats is bull crap as we all know. My feet are dry now.

I use the baffen work boots and my feet are dry and warm every time. I really like them, but I have never tried klim or other boots.

have been using the polaris extreme for 5 years now good to 40 below very light and only 130 to 150$ spray with work world conditioner every second ride after first year , lite easy to move around sled only problem not a big foot print when you have to walk over to your buddies sled to help him or her dig out. getting my next pair next week after 6 years, take it or leave it!

Have HMK , feet are never wet or cold ....wouldn't switch for the world....Hubby has KLIM ADRENALINE he is very happy with them , not as stiff as HMK therefore easier to walk in.....Just my two bits!!

gotta agree with ya 100% feet are always dry and warm from -40 to +40 as long as the water isn't higher than the hole in the top.
