I love my aero heads as well but after three seasons of deer and turkey hunting they started to leak! Comfortable boat and walked all over Nebraska with them and couldn't complain at all. Everybody says rubber boots and I get it but just seems like I had better luck with leather boots but I guess it doesn't matter unless your entry and exit paths are on.
I'll do a review on 'em as soon as I get some Field Time in them. So far they appear really well built and the material seems tough. Weight size I'd say they are about average or light for a 1200 g thinsulate boot. The calf section is very light. I'll see how they hold up to water as I have some muck/standing water trails and creek crossings on the way to several of my stands. Banded makes most of their stuff for Duck hunting so I imagine they'll hold up.
