So I'm currently using the Northwave X-Cross GTX. They are rated for -2Deg...in reality and once you factor in getting them properly wet on the outside (still dry inside) and then wind chill I'm feeling the cold bite at 0Deg after about 2 hours (according to the wonderful tinternet 0Deg with a 20mph wind has a windchill effect of -6.7Deg!) We had -9 here (north Glasgow) last week and my tootsies were nearly falling off after an hour. Given that we're now experiencing temps of -6 and below again it's time to buy something more suited.
Incidentally, they are comfy and fit well although I should have gone for the next size up so I could cram in another pair of thicker socks...but hey ho I didn't.
I've read the recent post on the NW raptor arctic's and don't like the sound of the tight ankle gator thing, although some say it loosens off a little.
Any other recommendations?x

Scotroutes...I thought you felt they were too warm?!
I'm using Specialized winter boots, rode in the snow today at Long Mynd and all great, comfortable, toasty and dry. Had them couple of years and wear them with either walking socks or waterproof socks. Expensive but I managed to find them 50% off in the sale.

Scotroutes - touché!
Lake MXZ's 303's for me, but [url= http://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/reviewed-8-pairs-of-winter-boots/ ]quite a few to choose from now[/url]
I’ve used later spesh defrosters and older NW arctics and both very good with warm sockage. Spesh better for wide feet, NW stiffer and less cumbersome
After a lot of research and trying a few pairs on I went with 45NRTH Japanther, very impressed with them, built for cold wet weather, so I can personally recommend them.
