- There are also a family of boots technically called vaporbarrier boots, with the
- Korea Boot (black - felt insulation) and the Bunny boot (white - foam insulation)
- being classic members. These boots are superb for snowshowing and winter hiking
- at sub zero temperatures, since they will ensure that the insulation stays highly
- efficient, no matter what the prespiration of the feet may do.
-
- There are some disadvantages (dishpan feet!, ocaissional snags with crampons
- etc.), but if you look closely at many antarctic films of modern exploration you
- will frequently see the bunny boot.
