Winter Warm
I work outside in the winter under all conditions. I have a job which requires standing out in the weather with limited walking. The Baffin Impact was purchased last winter (2013) for cold conditions starting at the low 20's F and down. I have used them for about a year. They have a very thick inner liner and a separate grid insole under the liner to provide an air insulation gap. When you first put them on they feel tight and under-sized. After walking a few minutes, the insulation conforms and they feel roomy even with thick socks. Last season I used them in -10 F weather and they performed well. I tend to have cold feet and occasionally used a chemical foot warmer. This year I have added an electric foot warmer. It has only been tested down to 11 degrees this year but looks like it will perform well to -20. There is an upper adjustment strap which holds the batteries of the foot warmers securely. One other site listed these boots as waterproof. REI does not. They will take in water if submerged so these are not intended for cold/wet conditions where water goes above the rubber. Like all boots, moisture build up is a problem. With the combination of thick liners and air space below the liners, moisture can build up. The liners are removable but takes a little practice to get them back in. I have since ordered a boot dryer to keep them as dry inside as possible. REI does not offer the extra replacement liners and I had to buy these at another site. A minus here. After a year there is no appreciable wear on the sole and the Impact boots appear to be well built. Because of the weight and bulk they may be a bit much for extended walking and seem well suited for applications when standing on cold pavement or ice. I don't think I will ever get a chance to test the comfort rating of -148 F. I am satisfied if they perform well for several hours at -20. I give them five stars and they fit in well for cold dry conditions at 20 F and below.
GREAT for ALASKA
WARM - Got these for winter vacation in Alaska, spend 2 weeks there, low was -3F, I spent lots of time standing outside watching sporting events, my feet were never cold. I didn't even need toe warmer packets, actually tried them but took them out because my feet got too hot at ~10F with toe warmers. Everyone I was with got cold feet but I never did. With these boots, I could use less layers on the rest of my body, because they kept my lower legs and feet so hot. RUNS SMALL - I wear EU41 and I got this boot in EU43 and it fit perfectly with and without insole. Loose is better for insulation.
Comfortable cold weather boot
Love these boots, wore them for 8 hours a day for a week standing in snow, average day temp 28 degrees (my Sorels stayed in the truck). I've chopped firewood they fit /mold to your feet as you walk around in them and become more comfortable, support was good. I was able to zip my Carhartt xtreme rain bibs (my outer shell) over the boots (yes it was tight) Bulky- Yes but warm and comfortable all day. I bought them at the end of April 2023 so I didn't ware them a full season. Compared to my Sorels (Classic) the Baffins are the next level of cold. Boot construction appears to be good. Driving in them was clumsy as you expect. Tips- Size order 1 size up, I ware 11.5 wide, so I bought a 12. Remove the liners allow to dry out overnight. Area of use OR and WA *(I did not buy these from REI, they did not offer them at the time, the price same.So no Rewards)
Not even slightly waterproof
I bought these for a trip to northern Iceland, expecting mostly quite cold conditions as we were only about 30 miles south of the Arctic circle. As happens so often these days, conditions hovered at warmer temperatures, just below and above freezing. I was startled and very disappointed to find that these boots are not waterproof at all, above the low rubber part. Wet snow or running streams will instantly penetrate the boots. The open cell foam then acts as an effective sponge, making it impossible to dry the boots quickly (it took days, indoors). Given that in most places winter include some exposure to wet snow or water, these boots are essentially useless. In deep frozen conditions they are warm.
Size up +1
Definitely need to order a size larger than what you think. Size 9 in regular shoes equals a Size 10 in these Baffin boots.
Perfect for snowmobiling
Warm, comfy and durable. I purchased these for snowmobiling because my feet were always cold. I wear a women's 8.5 shoe normally and these boot fit perfectly with Smartwool socks (medium thickness). If you like thicker socks you might want to size up, but these boots have been so warm I no longer need to double up on my socks. Be warned, these are not for rippers since the side buckles and pull cord are not sturdy enough for shredding, but if you like leisurely backcountry and trail rides, these are awesome.
Warm Boots
Looking forward to testing them out this upcoming winter.
