PAC boot recommendation for 0 to-30

[KyleDean]

Trying to get all my Camo and footwear squared away for Canada in late March. Anyone have a specific brand/model they suggest?

How do you do in the cold now? Do you need tight boots? Have you ever experienced-30*? I've been around guys that just wore insulated hiking boots, bunny boots, pacs, neos....all kinds of stuff.we all took the cold differently. If I was going to be stagnant at -30* I'd be in pacs with boot blankets and chemical heat. If I was moving around I'd be in pacs with an extra felt in the bottom and big enough to not be tight.

Moving? Stationary? Makes a big difference

-30° and below is a whole other level of cold.. If you are going to be inactive, you need the biggest pacs you can find and chemical heat would be suggested. If you will be pretty active, Hoffman pacs would be great..

Talking to our guide we’re going to be on snow mobiles and in stands. It’s for a wolf hunt. No sir single digits is as cold as I’ve seen. Being born and raised in North Texas I’m not sure how I’ll do in that temperature range.

Are you hunting Alberta? We are just coming out of a bad cold snap..

Something to think about... I'd bring a boot dryer with you. Even the best boots on the planet won't keep you warm if you don't dry them out. If you're sitting, I highly recommend the full foot "toe warmers". They seem to help alot more than just the toe warmers.

I strongly suggest loose clothing, and a face mask. I'm not missing days like theese...

 

[KyleDean]

Thank you all for the input I’m listening. This will be a whole new experience for me.

I would buy the Baffin Snow Monsters. I've tried two different brands of insulated late season pac boots and they both fit like crap, very bulky and heavy. The Baffins are bulky too, but 10 times more comfortable, feel like half the weight of Pacs, and warmer. For what you describe I think they'd be perfect.
I have not hiked a great deal of distance in mine yet.

I looked at the cabelas pac boot it was very bulky and uncomfortable. I was wrong on where we’re going I said Alberta but it’s actually out of Yellowknife. Buddy booked it and told me to get my stuff together.

I would imagine that the outfitter has heated blinds, a smaller Pac with a chem warmer will probably suffice.. Like the Hoffman..

Yellowknife in late March is very unlikely to be -30F. Pretty darn unlikely to be -30C even. Much more likely to be +20F to +30F during the day and cooling down to maybe 0F at night. There is a lot of sun that time of year, so the solar heating during the afternoons is very noticeable.

Super insulated boots can be great if you are sitting or on a snowmobile or stand, but they are super clunky to walk around it. I have some huge Baffins for cold weather duty, but avoid them if active at all.

I've had my sorrel caribou boots for 30 years still waterproof still warm buy new felt liners every 10 years or so !!!!!

 

[BigMuddy]

A fan of Schnee's Pacs here. Ive found them very warm and comfortable to walk in.

I have the Snow Monster from Baffin and it's a great boot that is incredibly warm and super comfortable. However, if it was going to be -30F, I'd give myself some leeway and look at the Impact, Apex, or Eiger.
