I work in extreme conditions, from the heat of Death Valley to the cold of Antarctica. I am constantly looking for better gear to keep up with the conditions. I purchased The North Face Baltoro HV1000 on a recommendation from a friend who recently had a good experience with the product during a month on a frozen lake in Poland. I was not disappointed. I have used Sorels in the past but found they just didn't keep my feet warm and comfortable all day. The Baltoros worked great; I was in subzero conditions most of the time for 10 days straight. The only drawback that I found was that if you are going to wear them consistently day after day, I found it very important to completely dry them out at night. If not, they are a little frigid for about an hour or two in the morning, but then they warm right up for the rest of the day.
