Insulated Boots

Insulated Boots is an Outer feet item in The Long Dark. It adds 3°C warmth and 2°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 50%. It weighs 1.5 kg.

Within the Outer feet slot its 3°C warmth ranks #1 of 12 entries here — the warmest for that layer.

At 2°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #44 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a middling ratio.

Its 4% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 12% mobility penalty — it slows you slightly, so a lighter inner layer can be the better trade when you are carrying a heavy load.
