TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Anybody know of anyone that makes/sells down booties in XXL or for a Size 14 that's in OZ?
The macpac range doesn't go that big. So far I've found only feathered friends makes them to that size but their from the US...
Cheers.

If you find any let my know because I lust after a pair to fit my own feet. DIY is your best option but Goosefeet will make to order for you. If DIY then use a synthetic, heavier but better suited to our snow but that is why the water proof over boots from Goosefeet, fill level is customisable too, up to 100% overfill

Learn how to sew, and make your own. They aren’t that difficult, in the whole scheme of things.

I wish I had time...
I can sew but I'm not very fast.
The list of diy projects to accomplish is too long as it is.
Sounds like I'll have to get some from the states.

Check out the Camp Booty at Mountain Equipment. I got a L that's good for a wide 10-11. The XLG may work.
They're not UL but work well getting around camp in the snow, so good weight really.

I actually like MUCK boots for warm feet in the snow, they don't breathe at all tho.
