Mountaineering Boots

Mountaineering Boots is an Outer feet item in The Long Dark. It adds 2.5°C warmth and 2°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 40%. It weighs 1 kg.

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

At 2.5°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #39 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a middling ratio.

Its 5% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 3% 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 Leather; 1 × Cloth; 90 minutes; 50% condition and harvests into 2 × Cured Leather; 90 minutes.

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