Pac Boots

[zekepa]

I'm looking for a pair of Pac Boots, I've seen some good reviews of the Hoffman boots here on Rokslide.

I don't expect Pac boots to be "lite" but they seem to be heave compared to the Kenetreks at 5.8 for a pair.

Found this for a weight in a different thread . My size 11 Mountaineer weighs 3.57 lbs per boot. That would make them over 1 lb heaver for the pair.

Has anyone used both that can give an some feedback.

Thanks
John

Never used the Hoffmans but if I planned on a bit of hiking wearing pacs I would go straight to Schnee"s or Kennitrek.
They are amazing

Both offer the beefier double layer bottom along with the single. That’s probably where most of the weight difference is coming from. That along with the liner options of felt or thinsulate.

The mountaineer is the warmest pac boot I have used. Not friendly to hike in. I have a set of schnee hunter II that are much better for hiking but are not the quality of Hoffman.
