PAC boots Schnee's Extreme vs. Kenetrek Northern

[carter33]

also if anyone knows dont we have a discount code with Schnees? i think its like rockslide19 or something but i cannot remember.

I have only had them for about a year so can’t speak to long term durability but mine don’t show any signs of wear on the rubber yet. I think they would make a great tree stand boot. My feet stay much warmer in them than the rubber boots such as mucks or lacrosse, even the heavily insulated sets.

I can’t help you on comparing different boots, but I can give my opinion on the schnees.

At the end of 2017 hunting season I swore off rubber boots, I was sick of damp feet in the stand, and they just were not warm for me. Decided to get a nice pair of pacs and went with the 10” Schnee hunter. Main use was for all around winter use, along with being my main tree stand boot for back home.

I got the boots end of 2017, ended up using them all winter scouting, snow shoeing and ice fishing. Worked well, little wear on the rubber and leather but nothing crazy. Back in the box they went till October of last year to keep the bottoms from drying.

2018 I ended up throwing an extra felt Insole in them, helped with warmth when sitting. I used the boots beginning October, and am still using them for winter stuff. They were a decently warm boot on the stand, better than my mucks. Good traction in the snow. Have spent days on the ice in 6” of slush and had dry feet. They have held up great, no cracking yet. Snowshoe bindings really beat them up.

I wish I would have went with the extreme boots, for a little extra warmth in my climate, and may get them resolved with the heavier bottom if that’s an option. Everything else on the boot is holding up, the leather has held up, though not the most waterproof iv seen.

I wouldn’t be worried to give them a try. No major digs, I mean come on they are a rubber bottomed pack boot. When I end up getting new pacs I may check out Hoffmann due to price, and positive reviews.

OK everyone i am doing it!!!

i do not know what the difference is between the Schnee's Extreme vs. Kenetrek Northern. i have looked everywhere to find what the difference is and i cannot. i have called both companies and they both have the story on what one is better.

i hunt in PA and i am in the need for a really warm PAC boot. please let me know what your experiences are and really what one is better. i have heard that the Kenetrek Northern is made overseas and that the Schnee's Extreme is made USA/ Canada but not 100% on that. i am really looking for all pros and cons for these 2 PAC boots.

thanks!

I’d be curious to hear any warmth difference between the extreme and the hoffman mountaineer

That is good for 10% off at checkout. As for the rubber on the bottoms, it has been a small issue impacting few boots. Often, it's the result of fuel or chemicals getting on the rubber and drying them out. For the vast majority of people (myself included) the rubber has been fantastic and holds up extremely well. But as always, if you ave any issue with yours, just give us a call or send them in and we will make it right. We stand behind our boots 100%.
