Again,thanks for the help Reaper.

Chris.
I have the Acadias as well.

There are at least two versions, one the normal insulated version with GoreTex and the other a lighter, vented version. They are great boots, and are the kind that should last a life time. Unfortunately, they are significantly more expensive than the Wellcos and some have fabric uppers.
