Are those Baffin boots warm? Looks like they're more for mud.

I’m a little north of Darin:
·Gloves:
oFrom outside to in:
§Mooseskin choppers – unsure of brand, made in Canada
§A heat packet (I keep a couple dozen in my truck always -
http://tinyurl.com/mnxp6rv or similar)
§If it’s truly cold (-10F or below) wool liners
§Mechanix or whatever your fav glove are of that flavor.
oI climb and clip in the choppers. Heat pack on the outside of my
fingers.
oI pause and rest if needed, hang back, and flop the heat pack into my
grip
oTo work, I put the chopper/liner/heatpack in my bag, and fiddle with
bolts in my Mechanix (same gloves as summer work)
oI **hate** cold/worthless fingers, and I **hate** rushing to get er
done or climbing.
·Goggles
oCheap Bolles, same as I use for snowboarding/skiing
·Hat
oSmartwool cap on my skin (I’m bald, so this is on my head Nov – May
anyway)
oBalaclava (whole head, chin, neck)
oThis crazy goat wool hat I’ve got
oHood / neck flap from jacket, if needed
·Boots:
oThese: http://www.baffin.com/product-p/98570998.htm
oThere is nothing better, IMO
·Pant/Jacket/”body”
oCapilene undershirt and long undies
oCabot and Sons socks
oMisc layers (depending on cold) – flannel shirt, sweatpants (my
“chillin in the house” sweats), a different pair of pajama pants,
another thermal shirt, etc
oCarhartt Bibs – not insulated, same as my summer climbers
oOld pullover Columbia snowboard jacket that has a kangaroo pouch
perfect for tools, nuts
Also, bring some water.
Reading over this, it seems complicated, but I will climb in weather
“the guys” won’t, and I’m could hang in my seat and take a nap. Oh –
bring your seat.

Hey guys,
My guys seem to be getting a little cold out there with our -30
windchills and I'm looking for advice on the gear best for these types
of temps. I've been trying to keep guys inside when wind chill is
below -20 but if we have a critical link go down and they need to
climb for 30-45 minutes or do a 2 hours install that is essential,
what gear is going to keep them happy and without frostbite? I know
they need to have all skin covered and I told them get some goggles as
well to keep their eyes covered.
What I'm looking for is the gloves, pants, boots, hats, etc that you
all recommend that will keep our techs happy when it gets REALLY cold
out. They seem to have enough stuff already to keep everything warm
but their hands. So the best types of gloves would be great to know
what to suggest/buy them.
Thanks
