See, this is where math is handy.  You can tell by not looking at it.  I’m going with 3X bigger  
 

 

Another Guy talking about his mythological big Thinsulate!  Show us your boots!  

[Wanderer]

Remember you asked for it. So, ‘scuze me while I whip this out.

 

I guess the measuring device doesn’t go that far, I checked for a number but it just said ULTRA.

 

Or magnum or something like that.  I forgot already. 
 

I offered to get my wife a pair but she asked for something different.

 

Squirrel?????

Lol!

I knew I should of taken a picture of mine. Starts small first ice, above 35 degrees, but actually grows to 1600, when the ice gets deep, then back down again, with last ice again.

 

Sometimes, it even alters from a very high level during the same day, depending how wet it is. 

Good one Tracie, further derailment

Maybe later in private, I'll post some pictures.

For your post, I extend to you a Laurel and Hardy handshake.    Baked beans, anyone?

Well, about Baffins. They'keep warm, that's for sure. We had those when I was a hydraulic fracturing engineer in Schlumberger. But the problem is when you are in those boots boots for moroe than 12-14 hours your feet start sweating over, so you need to take them off for a while and change your socks. But, again, you won't feel the cold, that's for sure

Lacrosse 1600 gram rubber boots

Irish Setter Mudtrek boots have been good to me.

My Baffin snow monsters are definitely not water proof. Eyeguy also has Baffins , not sure of the model, but again not waterproof.... Best ones I have found that are completely water proof and still warm are the Artic Muck boots. They are warm enough on all but the coldest of days.

i believe the new terminology would now be water resistant. 

 

i got no issue with my old Lacrosse boots!!!!!!1

I have had these for three years now and my feet have yet to get cold. With this style of boot your feet will sweat if you are walking in them.

I bought a pair of Kamik Forester Insulated Rubber Boots when I moved up to Ely at the Ely Surplus store and I really like them.

[Eyeguyroyce54]

I wear the Baffin crossfire. Very light and toasty. Not waterproof. 

[Kettle]

For the insulated knee boots keep an eye on the website for Rodgers sporting goods, they have some great sales on them pretty regularly

i kinda keep looking at them and maybe wanting to get a pair like that but just cant seem to pull the trigger on spending the money on them. i havent seen the real need for them as i've done without them all these years already. and i know quite a few people i am around have them>

When I bought mine they were not that expensive. I bought mine on sale for around $150. I was surprised how much they went up.

When I got mine it was a wet year and I used them for pheasant hunting. They are big and relatively heavy. they are great for deer hunting and ice fishing

The 800 gram thinsulate brown ones go on sale several times a year for 110$. Those with wool socks are plenty. The camo on the camo ones wears off and gets a funny white color. The camo upcharge isn't worth it
