Trail Boots

Trail Boots is an Outer feet item in The Long Dark. It adds 1°C warmth and 1°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 30%. It weighs 1 kg.

Within the Outer feet slot its 1°C warmth ranks #8 of 12 entries here — on the lighter-warmth end for that layer.

At 1°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #87 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a poor return for the weight.

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; 30 minutes; 25% condition and harvests into 1 × Cured leather; 90 minutes.

Verdict: Overall Trail Boots is a 1°C Outer feet piece, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
