Taking a look at Kenetrek's newest Lightweight Boot: Bridger High 

That sure is a nice lookin' boot. Personally, I would use them to go on hikes if the 2.9lbs is for both boots combined. I live in Northwest Indiana, so it's too cold here for them to be my hunting boots. How far up the boots are they waterproof? I sometimes have to cross small creeks and the occasional swampy area. So, I need something that is waterproof to at least above the ankle bone. Thanks for bringing these to our attention.
