Deerskin Boots

Deerskin Boots is an Outer feet item in The Long Dark. It adds 2.5°C warmth and 2°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 50%. It weighs 2 kg.

Within the Outer feet slot its 2.5°C warmth ranks #3 of 12 entries here — among the warmest for that layer.

At 1.25°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #83 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a poor return for the weight.

Its 7% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 5% mobility penalty — it slows you slightly, so a lighter inner layer can be the better trade when you are carrying a heavy load.

Crafting notes: it repairs with 1 × Cured Deer Hide; 1 × Cured Gut; 90 minutes; 30% condition and harvests into 1 × Cured Deer Hide; 110 minutes.

Verdict: Overall Deerskin Boots is a 2.5°C Outer feet piece, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
