Could anybody tell me what's the lowest temperature these boots are rated too? Also, would these be any good for snowshoeing?
Thanks,
Also, I'm tossing between the caribou and the 1964 Pac, and the only difference I can see between the two (apart from "looks") is that the caribou sole has a different grip/tread. Is that the only difference? Having said that, would the 1964 Pac sole/tread still be suitable for "off-road" walks/gentle hikes (nothing too hard core but not paved street). Or would I have to defer to the caribou? (The Pac is just so much cuter, thus I'd probably wear it more...)
Ahhh, I've noticed another possible difference. Although both have a removable 9mm innerfelt boot, the caribou's is described as Thermoplus felt, while the Pac's is described as recycled felt. But they are both rated to -40C/F so what's the deal there... Different wording? Or is the caribou's insulation better?
Finally, is the stated weight of 650g for one boot (as I assume) or the pair?

Adela- The Caribu's weight about 5 ounces more than the Pac's. The Caribu also has a deeper tread on its sole, making it slightly better for off-road hikes. The Pac's don't grip as well in icy areas either. Here is the difference between the two liners: "ThermoPlus® InnerBoots: Pioneered by Sorel in 1993 after extensive field testing. ThermoPlus® InnerBoots provide superb warmth, moisture transfer, comfort, and durability. An advanced four-layer construction wicks perspiration from the foot, maximizes thermal insulation, and reflects body heat back to the foot for a warm, dry foot "climate". 1. Soft, short loop polyester Minktex® (green inner layer) maximizes contact to quickly wick perspiration from the foot. 2. Black polypropylene core insulates and facilitates wicking process. 3. Radiantex® foil reflects body heat back to the foot. 4. Polyester/viscose blend (camel outerlayer) insulates and stores moisture away from the foot. Washable/Recycled InnerBoots: Pre-consumer recycled polyester. Ideal for children's boots where InnerBoots are exposed to excessive dirt and perspiration. A unique two-layer construction wicks moisture from feet and provides excellent insulation."

They are rated to -40°F/C. They are super comfortable and waterproof, but they are heavy to a lot of people, so while you can definitely use them for snowshoeing, you may get worked much quicker than you'd like.
