Questions and answers
- Which is warmer, the IMPACT or the Arctic Sport Mid?
- The IMPACT. Baffin rates it to -45°F to -60°F; Muck rates the Arctic Sport Mid to -40°F at the bottom. The IMPACT is built for low-activity standing in extreme cold, while the Muck suits active use.
- Is the IMPACT worth about $142 more?
- Only if you face sustained cold below -40°F or stand still outdoors. For wet, active work down to -40°F, the Arctic Sport Mid at $169.99 covers it for less.
- Which is better for snowshoeing?
- The IMPACT. Baffin lists it as snowshoe compatible and its 15-inch shell with locking snow collar keeps snow out. The Muck is a pull-on with no snow collar.
- Which is easier to walk in?
- The Muck. At 2.50 lb per boot it is much lighter than the IMPACT's 7.42 lb pair, and its molded EVA midsole and MS-1 outsole flex for walking.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both use rubber shells and outsoles. The IMPACT's removable liner can be dried and replaced separately, which helps its shell last; the Muck's fixed fleece liner dries more slowly.
- Does the Muck have safety features the IMPACT lacks?
- Yes. The Arctic Sport Mid is oil resistant and electrical hazard rated, with double reinforcement at the instep, heel and Achilles. Baffin lists no such ratings for the IMPACT.
