Mar 30, 2010 at 1:38 pm #1592513Nice review Will. Do you think the XL would actually fit a 15 or is 14 already pushing it?
Mar 31, 2010 at 9:53 am #1592824Thanks, nice review. Will try to pick up a pair on sale somewhere during the Summer.
Mar 31, 2010 at 11:10 am #1592861Ken, the XL booties measure 13 inches long, and that's pressing against both ends. Measure the length of your feet. I don't think feet any longer than 13 inches would fit. Best, Will
Mar 31, 2010 at 7:20 pm #1593040+1 on the Toughtek. I have it on my insulated mitts and it grips onto anything and stays there (I use them at home to open tough jars or the occasional car coolant reservoir.)

What do your do with your travel boots when in camp? If you do not have a VBL for them I'm assuming they will freeze and you'll be miserably cold the next morning when you put them back on.
Apr 3, 2010 at 5:44 pm #1593957I use a couple of A3 plastic bags to wrap them up and store them inside the bottom end of my quilt. Both walking shoes and ski boots.
Cheers
Apr 5, 2010 at 5:46 pm #1594597Hi Eric. I am still dealing with the frozen boot/cold feet issue. If I don't wear a VBL, moisture from sweat builds up in the lining of my snowshoeing and ski boots, which means cold feet, and there's no way to get the moisture out in the field. A VBL works well, but I have to wear my socks inside them, otherwise they are just too clammy feeling. My feet stay warm while I am moving during the day, but I have to get dry socks on right away when I camp. I have not been putting my boots in my bag at night, but wearing warm socks in cold boots helps a lot to get started in the morning. Best, Will
