I have a pair of High Country Hunters with 1,000 grams of thinsulate and they are great! I broke my ankle in college playing ball and they have great ankle support. Have used them for four years hunting the high country of Colorado and have not ever had wet feet. Never hunted in a downpour but in alot of deep snow and snow that was melting. My wife has a difficult foot to fit and her's fit like a glove. She has one pair for Colorado and one for here in California that is not insulated. You draw your foot on a piece of paper that they supply and then take several different measurements and they build them to that measurement. Plus, they are made in the USA! I have no complaints....you get what you pay for!
