Hoffman Pac Boots - When do you use your Pacs? Win a free pair!!

[darcytribe]

Packs are great for those extended time in snow, late season hunting situations. That’s my primary usage of them.

 

[tdhanses]

I have only used pac boots when it is under 30* and either I’m not going far or in deep snow but not deep enough for snow shoes, mainly to keep feet warm only. I have yet to try quality pack boots so I don’t tend to use them as much. I find most are very loose fitting and heavy, not a good combination for walking.

Because of my experience I’ve not invested in a quality pac boot because I really don’t know if I would find them usable. Maybe I’m wrong but for $300-$400 I just haven’t taken the chance to see.

So I don’t use them much unless I’m not going far, maybe I’m missing out and I would be interested to give these a fair try and honest review to see if they are something I can utilize for long distances in the cold and snow without sacrificing fit.

I’ve been using the Wiggies for the past 5 years or so, many great reviews when I bought, they have kept me from investing more because they are horrible fitting but yup they are warm, hate walking more then a few hundred yards in these things. As you can see, they don’t look worn out because I really try to only use them when I really have to.

I would like to answer the question but do not have a pair of pac boots. Every time it snows or gets below 20 I wished I had a pair.

 

[Jesse Minish]

I wear mine when it gets around 20 or colder and deep snow. Sometimes I wear them when it’s warmer if I’m sitting in a tree stand.

 

[elkhunteralta]

Living in Alberta, start wearing them in September ends in or around May, at least this year lol.

Had a pair of lacrosse iceman years ago that I'd pretty much only wear ice fishing. I switched to mucks and/or alpha burly pro's and wear them petty much from early November and sometimes into spring turkey hunting. I just started looking at pac boots again. If y'all read this comment and want to send me a pair, I'd gladly try 'em out!

I should be wearing them on my late season cow hunts, my feet freeze! I am as thinking of heated socks or insoles. If your boots work for hiking and glassing cold mountain weather I will pick up a pair. Thank you

 

[Dos Perros]

Wish I had a pair of pacs to tell you when I wear them! Instead I tough it out through deer season when I should be wearing an insulated boot.

At about 20° down to -30° and colder my Hoffman pacs go on. Being a lineman they see plenty of adverse weather conditions. Thanks Hoffman for keeping my feet comfortable in very uncomfortable environments.

I do not currently own or run a pair of pac boots. Although there is times of love to have a pair. They definitely have thier place, I just haven't broke down and bought a quality pair. Last time I wore a pair was many years ago and they were Sorels. I loved them in the cold and snow back then.

 

[Battle]

I don't have pacs yet. I really should be getting a pair for November hunts, especially when using horses.

 

[snuzzo29]

I'd wear pac boots when tree stand hunting in temps below freezing and when ice fishing. I also will switch to pac boots in extreme cold at work.

Last time I ran my pacs was the last time I ran them (3-4 years ago). Uncomfortable, slipped around, and not much warmth for as thick as the liner was/is. I generally hunt early season (archery) and do not need pacs. But now that I am rifle hunting again with my daughter, I realized this past season it is time to explore a quality pac boot, for both of us. Icy toes hurt

 

[Mtslackcountry]

Late season, deep snow hunts. Below 10 deg f. To and from ski hill. Shoveling snow. I’ve fishing to name a few

Does anyone know how much your particular model of Hoffman winter pac boots weigh? I went to their website and don't see any information about weight.

Going to depend on the height and size of the boot

Will depend on the height of the boot and the size.
