So what the difference between the Caribou boot and the Caribou reserve? what justifies $300 difference is price? I have used the regualr caribou for 15 years for winter hiking and snowshoeing down to -50F and they have been great. If the reserve are that much better Ill try them but I need a pretty good reason to drop an extra 300 bones for no apparet reason. so What is the difference?

Tech specs say they are in fact made in China.

I'm guessing that these aren't made in china like all their other boots. Though I could be wrong. I have a pair of original caribous I bought in the late 90s and they were still made in Canada. It would be a shame if these were made in their chinese factory.

I am not 100% sure this is why they are more money but my guess is because they are made with Bison leather and sheep shearling lining. It is also a special edition boot as well which means more $ I am sure.
