Re: Base layer and boots
Under armour are a decent lightweight disposable boot. Order direct from the website. But...they are a lightweight disposable boot. They're not a Lowa, Scarpa, Hanwag, etc.
But if you want to stay in the $200 range, they'll keep your feet dry....for awhile.
See if you can double the budget though. I started with UA browtines. Blew em out, got elk trackers, which were a heavy, wet, shitty boot. Now have Lowa tibet gtx, which are great for hiking, but they aren't exactly comfy for just wearing, hopping in and out of the truck, etc.
Biggest deal though, is they them all on!!
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
