I am a long-haul trucker and I am constantly bombarded by ever-changing weather conditions as I travel from one side of Canada to the other as well as Stateside. It often feels like every province or state has an entirely different weather system, so I always have to be prepared.Winter is upon us, so there is predominantly snow in more areas than not, and so I needed a pair of boots that were seriously up to the challenges I face, so I tried these Absolute Scout 3 tall winter boots from the ABSOLUTE CANADA store. They come in a black and a camo brown version, but I ordered the black to suit my general trucker style. Others might prefer the camo however; if they are hunters, these would certainly get them across snow-filled landscapes while remaining relatively inconspicuous.This company evidently understands the needs of outdoors-oriented life, particularly in the winter time. The boots are very well insulated and completely waterproofed while also being very breathable. There is an even an outside pocket on either boot, because... you never know what you need to keep with you when you are oot and aboot. There is a pull-string around the top of the boot to keep warmth in, and snow out. The bottom half of the boot is entirely rubberized, and the entire style is modern but light to wear and extremely flexible. I had no issues walking around my long-hauler and getting my work done, and was so happy to be able to tread over snow, slush and salt with no worries that I would even damage the boots. They are very resilient to the elements.Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this branded Scout 3 boots, they will hopefully last me a couple of winters. 5 stars.
