Title: Cold weather paddling boots
Post by Kerry on Apr 25th, 2011 at 5:04pm
Okay, so here’s yet another thread on paddling footwear.  For summer, which is when I do the bulk of my paddling, I’m set for footwear (NRS Abyss on the water and Keen H2Os for camp) but as I’m starting to get into more shoulder season trips, particularly mid to late October outings, I’m needing something water proof.  There are a number of knee high, neoprene type boots and I’m wondering if any of you have used any of these or could recommend something.  I’m looking for something that will keep my feet dry, relatively warm, are reasonably flexible (I do most of my paddling seated but in wind or surf like to kneel), durable and something I can portage in – cost is less of an issue if the boots do the job.  These are the ones I’m considering:   (You need to Login or Register

I’m a little dubious about the Neosport boots, they look a little clunky but the Chotas, Kokatat and NRS boots all look like they could fit the bill.  If you’ve worn any or all of these I’d certainly appreciate the benefit of your experience.
Thanks much.
