saw some bad reviews of the lacrosse alpha burley pro! Which one worked for you and what level of insulation?

I have been wearing the same style burlys for the last 25-30 years. My last ones lasted prolly 10yrs I’m on my second year with my current ones. Jury is out if they will hold up or crack like others claim they have seen. I keep mine inside during the off season and stuff some old towels in them so they don’t flop over and crack.
Mine are just the regular burleys with foam insulation.
Darn tough socks are legit and worth every penny the heavyweight is not thick but woven very tight.

Lacrosse isn’t what it used to be, but I still haven’t found anything better to replace it with, and if something really craps out, customer service will give you a 40% off coupon for your troubles.

I bought a pair of 1600 gram alpha burlys on sale after freezing my feet in 800s. So far, I haven’t had cold feet, but rubber boots suck for keeping feet warm. I don’t have any other option where I hunt though. I’ll wear heavy merino wool socks, with or without a thin poly liner in low temps.
