TLDR Review: Baffin Impact

The Baffin Impact boots are definitely on the heavier side. Each boot weighs about 3.31 pounds, so you're looking at around 6.62 pounds for the pair. This weight comes from their robust build—designed to keep you warm in temperatures as low as -100 degrees Celsius.

They have a thick removable insulated liner and a tough waterproof outer shell, which explains the heft. While they might feel a bit bulky and less suited for activities where you need to move quickly, they're fantastic for things like snowmobiling or ice fishing where staying warm is a bigger priority.

So, if you're okay with the extra weight for the sake of warmth and durability, these boots should do the trick.

The Baffin Impact boots are built to keep your feet warm even in extreme cold, with a temperature rating down to -148°F (-100°C), at least according to the manufacturer's description. This means they're great for really cold places. These boots come with a rubber sole and top-notch insulation, so your feet stay warm and dry in freezing conditions.

Based on our research, this rating holds up pretty well in the real world too. Some people have mentioned that their feet stayed warm during big snowstorms and even blizzards. One person said their feet were nice and toasty during a severe snowstorm, and another noted that their spouse found the boots warm and well-fitting.

On the downside, a few folks mentioned that the boots are a bit bulky and heavy, which might make them less ideal for activities where you need to move your feet a lot.

Still, if you're facing extremely cold weather, these should keep your feet warm and safe.

The Baffin Impact boots are designed to handle extreme cold really well, thanks to their eight-layer inner boot system. According to our research, this includes a vaporized aluminum membrane and a multi-layer foam liner for maximum warmth. People often love using these boots for activities like ice fishing and snowmobiling because of how well they insulate against the cold.

When it comes to comfort for walking, most folks find them pretty comfortable for short walks. Their thick insulation and padded interiors help with that. But keep in mind, each boot weighs around 4.6 pounds, and their bulky design can make long walks or hikes more tiring. They're really meant for warmth over mobility. So if you're planning to trek for hours, these might not be the best choice.

Also, about water resistance: while the outside materials are waterproof, the seams between the rubber shell and leather panels around the ankles aren't fully sealed. This means they could leak if you're in deep water or very wet conditions for a long time. This can be an issue in slushy or melting snow, or if you're often dealing with freezing temperatures. You might need to take extra steps to keep your feet dry or look for different boots if water resistance is a top priority for you.

So, in summary, the Baffin Impact boots are great for warmth and are comfortable enough for short walks in extreme cold. Just be aware they're not ideal for long hikes or really wet conditions.
