I am planning to buy another set of boots for outdoor use. I will probably use them for slow paced hiking, winter camping, and if I get back into hunting, that too. I remember wearing uninsulated boots for day long horseback rides in low 20's temperatures years ago and wondering if I would get frostbit. That memory makes me think that the more insulation the better and go for 600 grams, even though that would render them too hot for much of the year. I am also considering getting boots with less insulation but sized to allow thick wool socks when the weather dictates.
For those of you who go spend 8+ hours in the mountains in the fall and winter, how much insulation do you prefer and how active are you to generate your own warmth?
