I feel sorry for
« on: December 18, 2016, 12:04:00 AM »
....those that didn't get to buy HotMocs boot covers before they stopped making them.  Wearing wool socks,  barely insulated stalking boots , with HotMocs pulled over with a handwarmer pocket in each, in temps falling to 20 degrees and 20 mph winds, my feet were just barely starting to get chilly at the end of my sit.  This is as good as I ever do with the most insulated boot around.  It is a shame they no longer make them.  They scrunch up to fit in your pocket.  If they had him rubber soles they would be about perfect.

There are other similar products out there.
Don't see the particular benefit of this particular design. Especially with these chemical warmer packs. But to each their own :-))

Hah, Roland!  There are a few similar products that aren't nearly as good IMO.  Boot blankets that are bulky and noisy, as well as the arctic shields.  Tho hotmocs use the chemical warmer packs, and put the heat right at the right location with just the right thickness of polar fleece to let me get by with nothing but stalking boots for our Oklahoma season, and the can wad up and be put in a pocket.

Lol,  I can't disagree entirely with you  Bisch.

Good one Bisch!  

My boot covers are one of the most important pieces of hunting gear that I own.  It may not be Canada cold here but our temperature swings are getting ridiculous.  We are about to experience a 70+ degree swing in just 7 days!  It is tough for the body to acclimate under those conditions.  Monday morning was 15 below zero here....
Take care,
Jason
