Kenetrek pac boots?????
«

November 04, 2009, 01:08:00 PM »
Anyone have any experience with these "Kenetrek of Montana" pac boots?
I love my Bean boots (uninsul)but, its came to the time of year where they are not very warm(20-30 degr.)
Are the insulated Bean boots significantly warmer than the noninsul?
Any info on a warm Bean style boot is appreciated.
Gotta get back to the woods!
Thanks
Eric

I've got a pair of the 13" Grizzlies, very comfortable for walking. I've used them for stand hunting down to about 25 degrees and they did fine. If you are going to be sitting alot you may want to go with the Northerns for a little more warmth. The best part about mine is I got them for $69 when Bass Pro was closing them out.

I own the 10" Rancher and it is one of the best boots I have worn. They keep my feet warm and dry and I've got no issues.

Ditto Kadbow, Love the 13 inch grizzley. rated to zero if you are walking, around 20 to 25 degrees F, is about the limit with a quality wool sock. Great boot in my opinion, I hunt where every plant has stickers of some kind, they are really abused but the leather wears like iron and they are still very water proof. A great boot !!
I think the pacs would be even better just a bit heavy.

Yep, got a pair, love 'em. I also wear 16" pacs from Schnee's, they're very similar. I don't wear much of anything else during cold weather.

Have the 13 in. ranchers, also have the insulated bean boots. There is no comparision,the kenetreks have more support and much-much warmer. The good thing about the bean boots is you can feel the groud better, if that makes any sense.

Got some Kennetreks that are the insulated kind. They are warm, very comfortable, and relatively quiet. I sure like mine.

Eric, you can't see them but, I'm wearing my Kenetrek boots in this photo. A friend of mine and I were up elk hunting during this snow mess and my feet never once got cold.

I have the 10" grizzlies and they are an excellant boot with top notch service! can't go wrong with'em but if I was setting in 30 degree weather alot, I would get the northern for the added warmth!! Jason

My only problem with them is that I have no way to try them, and to spend $350 on something I cant try on or walk in is not an option.
I have 2 clients that Swear by them, they go on long 15 day sheep hunts all aroungd the world and wont wear anything else.
If $$ wasnt an option, I would get them without care But when I can TRY others to see if I Like them At 1/2 the cost seems more reasonable

Matty,
If you are looking for the pac boots,, Kenetrek website says they are at JAX in Ft. Collins.

I recommend you consider the Schnee's 13" Hunter II boots.
My understanding is the Schnee's and the Kenetrek's are essentially the same boot, but the Schnee's are assembled in Bozeman, Montana while the Kenetrek's are assembled in Asia.
I use Schnee's and they are great boots. When you wear out the bottoms, just send them back and they'll put on new ones for a small fee.

The Kenetrek are "assembled" in Bozeman. I think I will probably try the Hoffman Outdoorsman, basicaly the same boot but "made" in Idaho. Priced very nice also!

Kenetreks are made in Thailand....at least their Rancher and a couple others. The Schnees are made there in Bozeman.
