I've got a wet trip scheduled this year and I'm going to take synthetic boots with the hope that the waterproofing lasts as long as possible and that they'll dry faster than a leather boot. Any thoughts on my reasoning? I'm used to dealing with snow vs constant wet conditions.
I've found it impossible to waterproof the mesh so water goes straight in between the outer and the gore bootie. Hydraulics force that water thru the gore-tex at the forefoot hinge point. Snow may be OK.
I put 7 layers of thinned silicone sealer on a pair of Salomon x-ultra and they still leaked.
