[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1275898, member: 54178"] [B]70 F. to 20 F. ->[/B] Merrill GTX Moab Mid. hiking boots. Below 40 F. I use 3 mm thick neoprene divers sox from US Divers. with a thin polyester or polypro liner. They act as[I] Vapor Barrier Liners[/I] (VBLs) to keep the boots dry and warm on the inside. In addition I use knee high GTX gaiters to keep out rain, snow and scree. [B]20 F. and lower ->[/B] Sorel felt pacs (W/ neoprene VBLs) and GTX gaiters Gaiters not only keep out snow or rain but also add about 15 F. of warmth. I cannot stress enough the value of neoprene Vapor Barrier Liners for keeping boot insulation dry. Use one clean pair of thin poly liner socks per day inside the VBLs and stow the nasty, wet ones in a ZipLoc bag at the end of the day. Yes, urethane coated ripstop VBLS are sold but they do not work nearly as well as the 3 mm divers' sox. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
