First Look: Dryshod NoSho Gusset XT

Just in time for the cold and wet seasons, Dryshod has introduced a new set of insulated, fully waterproof boots. Termed the NoSho Gusset XT, these boots were developed to handle cold and wet hunting conditions in comfort.

True to their name, the boots utilize an adjustable gusset to accommodate multiple layers of heavy clothing, and better fit hunters with large calves. Despite this roominess, the boots still boast six layers of insulation. A 5.5 millimeter Densoprene bootie is backed by an additional two millimeter of Densoprene Extreme Density (XD) foam for optimal environmental shielding. Next, a two millimeter airmesh promotes airflow to wick away moisture, while a two millimeter fleece lining gives the boot natural insulating properties. Combined with an EVA cold-blocking midsole and a removable EVA sock liner, the boot promises to block water, retain heat and promote dry feet.

On the exterior, the Dryshod NoSho Gusset XT sports a DS1 outsole for aggressive traction on challenging terrain. A camouflage pattern covers the upper to keep thinks low profile. For more information on these boots, which are available in sizes 7-16, please visit dryshodUSA.com. MSRP: $199.95
