Title: Re: ROCKY SV2 Boots
Post by Quentin on Aug 21st, 2013 at 6:30pm
Mastertangler, that makes two of us.  I just returned a few days ago from an 8 day Quetico trip, the first with my SV2's.
The boots  are excellant!  I purchase the "Jungle version" of the SV2 directly from the Rocky web site.  I went with the "Jungle"because they are lighter, and have additional drainage.
Excellant traction in all conditions-
Drain quickly-
The drainage holes have a stainless steel mesh, which kept pebbles and dirt/mud out.  I was actually surprised how clean my socks and feet were after sinking in portage and beaverpond muck.
Other than looking broken in, no damage or visible wear after the trip.
The only possible downside (I only wore one thin pair of socks) is the Jungle version has next to no insulation, and my feet got cold a couple of times.  Thicker, additional socks might cure this.

Money well spent.!
Quentin
