The Original Airboss Bunny Boot has a CLO value of 1.61 and is rated for use in temperatures ranging from -20°F down to -65°F. The AKGC VBX improves slightly on this with a CLO value of 1.79, giving it a comfort range of -25°F to -70°F. For maximum insulation, the AKGC VBX Max is the warmest model, with a CLO value of 2.14 and a rating of -34°F to -79°F. The AKGC VBX Composite follows closely, offering a CLO value of 2.01 and a comfort range of -30°F to -75°F. Finally, the AKGC VBX LITE is designed as a lighter, more mobile option, with a CLO value of 1.36 and a range of -5°F to -50°F.

What is the difference between the VBX Bunny Boot and the Bunny Boot VBX MAX?

Both are durable Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boots designed for extreme cold and moisture expulsion. The VBX Max includes additional insulation and design enhancements for the coldest, most demanding environments. The VBX MAX holds a slight weight and ergonomic penalty due to the added insulation.

What are the best uses for the Bunny Boot VBX MAX?

They are ideal for extended exposure in extreme cold. Backcountry winter expeditions, snowmachining, ice fishing, or Arctic travel are common use cases for the VBX MAX Bunny Boot.

What temperature is the Bunny Boot VBX MAX rated for?

We have modeled our boots after the legacy Bunny Boot, which was designed for temperatures ranging between –20° and –65° Fahrenheit. An independent lab ran thermal tests and found the VBX MAX had 37% greater thermal retention compared to the legacy Bunny Boot.

What kind of rubber are the Bunny Boots VBX models made from?

They’re constructed from a proprietary vulcanized rubber that resists cracking in extreme cold and provides a strong waterproof barrier.

What kind of testing has been done on all Bunny Boot VBX models?

All models are tested in real Arctic conditions as well as lab environments to run modern thermal testing with U.S. based footwear scientists for durability, insulation, fit, puncture, and slip resistance.

Do the VBX Bunny Boots have Thinsulate?

No, VBX Boots do not use Thinsulate. VBX boots keep you warm with a proven multilayer insulation system - built to perform where other materials can’t. Unlike synthetic fibers such as Thinsulate, which lose their effectiveness when exposed to the heat of vulcanization, our insulation stays durable, reliable, and ready for the cold.

What is VBX Technology?

The innovative Vapor Barrier X (VBX) technology prevents condensation from penetrating and freezing in the inner insulation layer, ensuring consistent warmth. The multilayer insulation system effectively blocks heat transfer, keeping the cold out while retaining warmth inside the boot. The boots feature vented hydrophobic insoles that keep feet dry and supported, as well as reinforcement of high-impact areas of the outsoles for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.

How should I clean and maintain my VBX Bunny Boots?

For best results, clean your VBX Bunny Boots using a soft brush and warm water with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners, as they can damage the rubber exterior. After use, remove the insoles and allow both the boots and insoles to dry completely before storing. Always store in a cool, dry place to maintain performance and extend the life of your boots.

What socks should I wear with VBX Bunny Boots?

We recommend synthetic or wool blend socks that wick moisture. Avoid cotton. For very cold conditions, a thin liner sock plus a thicker insulating sock works well. Always ensure there’s enough room to maintain circulation.

Are VBX Bunny Boots compatible with personal inserts or orthotics?

Yes. While VBX Bunny Boots come with a built-in liner system, they can accommodate aftermarket insoles or orthotics for added arch support or custom fit, just be sure not to compress insulation too much.

Will my feet sweat in VBX Bunny Boots?

Yes, your feet may sweat, they’re designed as vapor barrier boots to trap warmth and block moisture from outside. It's important to:Change socks regularly on long tripsUse moisture-wicking layersDry boots properly after use
