Down Booties

[Anonymous]

Anyone know of a good manufacturer of reasonably priced down booties that are still lightweight?

[Eugene Smith]

Well, what is considered 'reasonably' priced?

Nunatak makes the Teanaway Down slippers, your choice of shell material, avg. weight of 3.5 oz., though they range around $100. They have a few other burlier models.

Sierra Designs Down Bootie, weight 8 oz., nylon, cordlock, prices range, 650 fill down. *Zappos.com has them in black or vine in size medium for $49.50

or

Sierra Designs Down packable bootie, 7oz., $45, same as above more or less minus the reinforced ankle and cordlock.

The latter two choices are the most affordable and offer some decent features for the price, tho they're considerably heavier than the Nunatak or Western Mountaineering offerings.

Integral designs hot socks $45 under 5oz

Check out Goose Feet down booties.

Very light, well made, cottage manufacturer.

I really like mine, but it does depend on your intended use. These are not as heavy duty as some (that's why they're so light!).

I got interrupted before I finished that last post….

I really like the booties, and Ben makes a shell also for hanging around the fire.

The booties are suitable for inside a sleeping bag because they don't have a hard sole bottom.

I'm going to order a pair of those!

Thanks for the link
