What is the temperature rating for each Bunny Boot model?

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 are bunny boots?

Bunny Boots was never an official name, but instead a nickname for the boots officially known as Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boots (Type II). These were developed by the U.S. military during the Korean War to protect troops in arctic and subarctic conditions. The Bunny Boot nickname was derived after the snowshoe hare. As their fur turns from brown to white in the winter, more hares appear with their new "white boots".

What is the difference between Mickey Mouse Boots, Bunny Boots & VBX Bunny Boots?

Mickey Mouse Boots (Type I): Black, rated to -20°F. Ideal for cold but less extreme conditions. First iteration of Bunny Boots. Bunny Boots (Type II): White, rated to -60°F. Designed for the harshest cold, including Arctic and high-altitude operations. Developed after original Bunny Boot and more commonly used current day. VBX Bunny Boot (From Alaska Gear Company): White, tested compatible performance to Type II. Designed with innovative VBX technology, tested in Alaska, and equipped to support comfort in the harshest cold weather conditions.

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 much do VBX Bunny Boots weigh?

Size 4-8 (≈6 lbs | Pair)Size 9-12 (≈7 lbs | Pair)Size 13-14 (≈8 lbs | Pair)Size 15 (≈9 lbs | Pair)

I see similar boots have air valves. Where is the air valve in the VBX Bunny Boots?

Our VBX Bunny Boots feature a modern, valve-free design, eliminating the common failure point found in traditional military-issued versions. This engineering upgrade enhances durability, retains warmth more effectively, and ensures long-lasting dryness and comfort in extreme conditions.

What can the VBX Bunny Boots be worn for?

VBX Bunny Boots are heavily insulated, extreme cold-weather boots built to withstand the harshest winter conditions. Perfect for snowmachining, ice fishing, mountaineering base camps, and countless other cold-weather adventures, these rugged rubber boots are designed for all-day warmth and reliability. Their wide opening and slip-on design make them easy to take on and off, combining convenience with serious performance.

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

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.
