[RBW] Steger Arctic Mukluks for Winter Riding

2014-01-31 Thread Deacon Patrick
Here is an initial review of the Steger Arctic Mukluks for winter running. (Or 
hiking, biking, snowshoeing). I did bike in them and they are great for that, 
and I presume they are great for snowshoeing, but I will test that out later. 
Bottom line, I can't believe how minimal, warm, dry, and comfortable these are, 
and they work great running steep mountain trails in winter's deep and biking. 
The soles are soft and grippy, and easily grip my peg-free barefoot friendly 
pedals despite the snow. I wish I'd found these years ago!

My wife and I have had Stegers for years, very handy living here in Minnesota.  
I've never biked in them (if it's that cold, I am staying the heck home) but 
they are great for snowshoeing with traditional snowshoes.  I've never tried 
modern snowshoes.

Another Ely-based company with god cold-weather gear was Wintergreen, but they 
have closed up shop and the brand is for sale.  They had great designs for 
winter wear.
