I had a pair of Altimates (Altimate winter boot) for 5 years, worked awesome. Dry, toasty no ankle support still wear them at home. Bought a pair of Klim adrenalines last year, work well also, dry toasty feet BUT no removable liner.I've only worn them for two days in a row. feet were good for day two but I don't know about after three or four days.

I am .. girl..but I love the Baffins!! My feet are always warm and toasty. I like the removable gishy foam liner because you can change them over at night so you have dry liners! This is important when you umm fall off your machine alot!! LOL

The liners in the altimates seem the same as the Baffin ones. (May even be 'Baffin Technology').

I just got a pair of HMK Highmark pros, first ride will be in them tommorrow,
but they fit great, very light weight with removeable liner and good support. pretty much like snowboard boots with a tapered toe so they dont get stuck in your sled
i bought out of the US from
for $189 US thats like 50 bucks canadian hahaha and $20 shipping at my door in 8 days and they made the box look like a gift and i didnt have to pay the GST. just order one size larger then your street shoe.:Happy6::thumbsup2:

What ever was on Special at WalMart last year when I bought them! :hi:

But in all seriousness, now that I have become more of an Avid Sledder and Quader I am looking to buy a good pair of boots for those long Sled/Quad rides in the winter months.

Would a pair of snowboard boots work well?

I like my HMK's. First real pair of riding boots I've owned. They're pretty stiff, which makes them great when riding, but not the best for walking, although you get used to it. My feet stay warm, even with just regular socks, and haven't gotten my feet wet in them yet. They're also very light considering the size of em. Guys with sleds that have narrow running boards (and wide seats/tunnels) may find that they can't fit the whole boot on there.. I found that with my 02 ZX chassis Summit.
