    i bought mine from IFA last year. they were the best deal around. better product then what walmart sells. but they seem to be limited on locations. defenitly not located in ireland. but you might be able to mail order.

    here's a link.

    Ski pants with the suspenders. They're light, and made for all day in the snow. Steel-toed boots will cold-soak the front of your feet. Not a good idea unless you actually happen to be doing something that requires them.

    I was required to wear steel toed. Read somewhere there's some new boots out with Kevlar or something to replace the steel toed.

    I also posted on your other post, I got all of mine at CAL Ranch, not sure if this is a local Utah store or if they are National, but I got everything there, gloves, boots, socks, and coveralls.

    I plan to visit the states next week flying into Denver that's why I was asking I hope to make use of the exchange rate and do some shopping ' I'm looking for retailers other than cabelas or walmart..... surely there has to be more outdoor outlets ......I'm not interested in steel toe caps ,I'm looking for snow boots that are insulated possibly some heavy hoodies with zippers on and pockets .

    Even being a flatbedder I would just get a good pair of workboots... this will be my second winter flatbedding and I wear a pair of carhartt work boots soft toe and they seem to work just fine.. If the weather is that bad most likely you will be tarping inside anyways. actual snow boots seem like they would just take up space and not used too much if ever

    get the flannel lined carhartt pants for sixty bucks on amazon, ebay or wherever. wearing a couple pairs for first time this year and they are awesome, wouldnt wear anything else now. also got a pair of 800 gram thinsulate carolina work boots. they have the synthetic safety toe so the boots are way lighter and no steel that can make your feet cold, not cheap though.
     
    stacks and slim shady Thank this.
