Welcome. Im in the strategizing / saving mode myself. As a lover of all things Hoth, Ive got several costumes in mind, tho probably starting with the SnowTrooper. But I just saw the Commandos from Polymer Armory and was blown away.....WOW !!!! I wonder how those would look on shorter people since Im barely 5' 5"

Ive looked at Bobamaker(?), RS, Dan Laws, and the Anovos protoype. They all look cool.

Yeah I bought a new pair and a used pair. They arrived in the mail a few days ago. Im not sure why people have been posting on forums that they run big. As somebody familiar with outdoors/winter sports gear, if you wear them as they're designed (i.e. with liners and inserts) they run the same size as your regular shoe size. I normally wear size 8 shoes and my boot is an 8M.

Hey Tom, and thanks everyone. While Im saving cash for the future armor purchase, I am really enjoying reading thru the forums and stories people are sharing. Especially one on the Blizzard Force page about a group troop to Norway and some of the incredible photos and video taken. Im also thinking my first purchase may be a pair or two of the Canadian Army mucks used for conversion to Snow Trooper boots. Anybody got a favorite military surplus connection?

Hey everyone...
Brand new to the forum. My name is Michael Dhonau from Charlotte. Always been a big fan of the Snow Troopers so I also registered for the Blizzard Force page. Gonna try to make it to the upcoming Checkers game uptown on Star Wars night to say hello if any of you all are planning to be there
