When you’re in the backwoods chasing whitetail, scouting ridges, or checking trail cams in mid-season weather, you need huntingboots that don’t just survive the environment—they work with it. The TideWe Lightweight 800G Insulated Hunting Boots are engineered for those exact conditions, delivering durability, warmth, and comfort in a featherlight package.
This isn’t your typical clunky cold-weather boot. These TideWe boots offer a unique balance: rugged enough for brush and swamp, insulated enough for chilly mornings, yet comfortable and light enough for long hikes through diverse terrain.
🔍 Key Specs & Features
Let’s take a look at what makes the TideWe 800G Insulated Hunting Boots stand out among today’s mid-weight huntingboots:
- 800g 3M Thinsulate™ insulation
- Waterproof CR Flex-Foam + neoprene design
- Anti-slip, self-cleaning rubber outsole
- Reinforced toe & heel guard for added durability
- Breathable mesh lining to reduce sweat buildup
- Comfort rated from -22°F to 50°F
- Available in Realtree Edge Camo or Mossy Oak Break-Up Country
👣 Fit & First Impressions
Right out of the box, the 800G model feels noticeably lighter than most insulated TideWe huntingboots. I wear a size 11, and despite the insulation, the boots weren’t bulky or restrictive. The footbed had a supportive arch, and the neoprene upper flexed naturally with movement—ideal for crouching, climbing, or trekking over rough terrain.
Breaking them in took almost no time, thanks to the flexible CR foam shell. I walked nearly 4 miles on the first day scouting timber cuts and didn’t feel a single hotspot.
🌲 In the Field: Performance Matters
We tested the TideWe Lightweight 800G boots during early November deer season in upstate New York. Temps ranged from 28°F in the mornings to 50°F by late afternoon. Here’s how they performed:
| Category | Score (1–10) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Warmth | 9.0 | Perfect for mid-season; no cold feet in frosty mornings |
| Comfort | 9.5 | Light, flexible, and easy to walk in all day |
| Waterproofing | 9.0 | Stream crossings and marshes didn’t leak a drop |
| Traction | 8.5 | Reliable grip on mud, leaves, and rocky trails |
| Durability | 9.0 | Reinforced toe handled stumps and rocks like a champ |
💦 Dry Feet = Happy Hunt
These TideWe boots feature a waterproof CR Flex-Foam layer that repels water and keeps your feet dry through rain, snow, and slush. I waded through ankle-deep creeks and marshy grass without a problem.
The inner breathable lining also does a great job managing sweat. After a long hike, my socks were still mostly dry—something you don’t always get with insulated boots.
🧊 Warm Without Overheating
The 800g Thinsulate™ insulation is the sweet spot for most hunters. It’s enough to keep you warm during those frosty mornings in the stand, yet breathable enough to avoid overheating during active spot-and-stalk scenarios.
If you’re someone who hunts in a region with variable weather or who hikes a lot during your hunts, this insulation weight strikes the perfect balance.
