>>I don't know about the ratings, but you'll probably never find >>temps colder than 20 below in Colorado, and these boots will be >>plenty warm for that.My Danner 600gm boots are warm to about 25 below if I am moving, otherwise warm to only about zero. I have a feeling the 2000gm boots aren't what you need, unless you are going ice fishing in the Dakotas for hours and hours. Compare the weights.Kent in SD

I'll start with the not-so-good. The hood tends to flop down over my face and is annoying. I started wearing a Thinsulate cap with a bill on it and that solved the problem. Second, I'm not sure this is an Anarctic capable coat. I was outside for three hours when it was around -24F and could feel the coolness trying to come through. I wasn't cold, but I think if it was -35F I would be feeling it some. I had on a fleece sweater underneath and t-shirt. The good news is the coat is very functional and well built. The pockets are plentiful and well thought out. It may be too warm to wear if it's much above +25F, which is a good thing, I think. I bought it on sale for $270, and I don't think there's anything else in that price range that is as warm. I'm a photographer who likes to photo in South Dakota & Minnesota winters, at night. I stand around in the dark a lot. We get the intense cold AND the wind here. I was satisfied enough to keep it.
