Baffin snowmobile boots or Rocky Blizzard Stalkers .
I have both and they are the best boot I've found for warmth and durability .

I have some Rocky Blizzard stalkers. They work great and are super warm. Totally waterproof. However I have a rip on each boot in nearly the same place. I don't remember them being there when I bought them. Not sure how they got there but I'm pretty sure it is because of me. Sportsman Goop fixed them up in a snap. Irish Setters are very nice too.

My Rocky's with 1,000 grams of thinsulate are still holding up good on their 4th season.

I bought Baffin boots 2 years ago and they are the warmest boots I have worn on the ice. And I always where them bare foot.

How are the irish setter snow claws xt?

I was looking at those Irish Setters myself the other day. Seem like a pretty good boot. I believe Red Wing is the parent company of Irish Setter, and they make good footwear. I've been looking for an insulated boot that isn't as bulky as my packs for hunting and very mobile ice fishing. I love my Baffin pack boots, but they aren't the easiest to walk long distances in. I hope someone can shed some light on the Setters.

I got my ice kings used, 6 years ago and I put a lot of miles on them. Wouldn't think of trading them!!

Have had irish setter workboots and never had a problem with them. So many choices to choose from.

plumrob · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 12:00 PM »

I wear White's Elk hunters. Replaceable wool felt liners, fully rebuildable, rated to -40. I work and play in them. I've put allot of miles on them in the last 6 years. I have never got cold in them. But the lowest Temp I've been in with them is -30. I bought another pair last year so I would always have a dry, warm, pair of boots to put on. A Peet boot dryer helps with that.
If you want more protection they make a Yukon survivor. It's designed for ice fishing and extreme cold. It's rated to -100.

icefisher-45 · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 12:03 PM »

I've heard of them. Where would be the best place to purchase them?

slamminwalleyes · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 12:14 PM »

Lacrosse Ice mans II

icefisher-45 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 12:20 PM »

All I could find was the Lacrosse II outpost at Bass Pro for 50 dollars. Is this the boot you are talking about?

icefisher-45 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 12:46 PM »

Thank you I will check out ebay

I have this boot but in extreme cold I don't feel they perform very well, do you have a specific sock combination that you use with these boots?

shawno · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 08:20 PM »

Another vote for Baffin Boots...best boots you can buy!! Dare I say it....almost too warm. My boots are good to -100C...no more coming in early for me due to cold feet.

Plus they are made right here in good old Canada....not shipped over from China!!

wolverine-iceman · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 08:35 PM »

+1 for the ICE-KINGS by Lacrosse...The brown ones with the gooood foam liners.Last a very long time and warm.Usually $109-$129.

esox13 · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 08:56 PM »

Still using LaCrosse Ice Kings for 12 years and haven't needed to look at any other. Although, the Ice Armour boot may be worth looking into.

perchslayer13 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 02, 2008, 11:04 PM »

What about the new ice armour black ice boots?seems like they're main purpose would be for ice fishing and all the properties sound a lot like my scent lok hunting boots and i really love those

newbraintree · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 03, 2008, 03:08 AM »
