I bought these boots mostly for snowmobiling and a little snow shoveling.  I was surprised by how light and comfortable they were.  This is my first time owning Baffin's but the quality seems as good if not better than the Sorels and Kamiks they were up against.  I haven't had a chance to stand out in the snow all day in them yet, but I expect them to perform well.  For the price, they seem like a bargain.  If they're as warm as they feel and as sturdy as they look, I'll have a winner!
