Sorel women's caribou boot vs Pajar women's Hanna boot
|
|
A classic SOREL style since 1972, the Caribou Boot is the
timeless choice for those who work and play in cold weather. Designed to
keep your feet warm in subzero temperatures, the Caribou features a
lightweight and flexible shell, seam-sealed waterproof construction, and
durable materials to protect your feet from the damp chill of winter.
Available in both men and women's sizes, the Caribou is a must-have for
those who want to brave harsh temperatures in style.
When skiers and snowboarders lovingly refer to their "Sorels"
it's almost a sure thing that they are talking about their Sorel Caribou
snow boots.
That's because this popular and proven snow boot remains a
winter cornerstone throughout decades of tough use--and the originals
still keep a steady footing around day lodges and chalets.
Beneath the
waterproof nubuck upper and soft acrylic/wool snow cuff on the Sorel
Caribou is a removable 9-mm. ThermoPlus felt inner boot that's rated to
-40F, the sort of warmth you need from the first flake to the last
melting slop.
Sorel recently refined the outsole with an Aerotrac
natural rubber sole (it will mark light floors) but all the durability
remains the same.

Customer Review
By C. Ryan
These 10" high winter boots set the standard for basic cold weather
boots in snowy conditions. They're probably the boot most commonly worn
by locals in snowy Western mountain towns.
But be advised they do
not have a lot of lateral stability in the sole of the boot. That is to
say, the rubber bottoms tend to twist sideways making them, in my
opinion, unsuitable for anything other around town use and possibly some
work situations. The twisting motion makes traveling off beaten paths,
especially climbing hills or side hilling, more difficult and tiring. My
seven year old (Canadian made) Sorel Caribou models have somewhat
thicker and probably more water resistant leather uppers, but the
current (Chinese made) Sorels seem to have more advanced combination
synthetic and wool felt liners and apparently much-needed additional
underfoot insulation.
These boots have a cool look with the faux
shearling collars but their relatively modest height means you will need
to wear gaiters to keep out snow if you leave beaten paths. Felt lined
pacs are typically the warmest boots for the bucks and the liners can be
taken out to dry. I've washed my Sorel liners on gentle cycle using
wool-friendly soap with excellent results and spraying some Armorall
(used to perk up rubber and plastic in cars) on the rubber bottoms keeps
them looking great as well.
Recommended to anyone who wants a
warm, foolproof, traditional looking boot to wear in around-town or to
cold weather outdoor events, keep in the car for emergencies and
possibly wear to work or riding snow machines in really cold weather.
Over the years, PAJAR has developed and implemented techniques to
improve their high quality boots. With the addition of a patented
insulating mid-sole (Iso-Lana) made up of small air bubbles between
layers of aluminum, felt, and wool, Pajar boots can withstand severe
cold up to -74 degrees Celsius.
All seams are tape-sealed and the adhesive construction further ensures the waterproof quality of the boots. PAJAR boots are produced in a wide range of styles, materials, and colours to keep up with fashion trends. They are advertised in consumer fashion magazines and have become a necessity for trendsetters.
