The Baffin Mist Boot is built with an IceBite(R) outsole specifically for traction on ice, not just packed snow, backed by a Tundra RWT(TM) rating for genuinely cold, harsh conditions. A Thermaplush wicking layer pairs with B-Tek Heat insulation to keep feet warm without trapping sweat during moderate activity. A waterproof, breathable membrane keeps out slush and wet snow, and a mid-height nylon shell with D-Ring lacing locks in a secure, adjustable fit. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I crossed an ice patch that had already put two other people on the ground and never felt my foot slide. My feet stayed warm through a full afternoon outside without that clammy, overheated feeling I get in most winter boots."
