FINNTRAIL Sportsman Wading Boots

0

Our DIRT TRAX test pilot was truly blown away with FINNTRAIL’s SPORTSMAN Wading Boots and actually said they are the best boots he’s ever worn.

We made sure we didn’t test them lightly and found some pretty harsh conditions so we could pass on genuine impressions to you, our highly educated off-road enthusiast.

Prior to trying the boots on, the look of the Sportsman Wading Boots immediately caught our eye with its sleek design, attractive coloring and obvious attention to detail. Additional ankle, heel and toe reinforcement, heavy-duty rubber sole, quality nylon laces that will last and even little details like the lace hook D-ring attachment point are details that you’ll appreciate over time.

The overall comfort and light weight of the boots allowed for less fatigue as the day went on and our tester found the sole to be grippy enough when wet so he still had confidence when riding.

Once fully submerged in mud and swamp guck, his feet stayed completely dry because of the built-in neoprene sock in his FINNTRAIL waders (which we will review at a later date).

After a day of testing, the boot material was easy to clean and they dried quickly thanks to the small holes on the sides for drainage.

NOTE: We were advised to go up one shoe size in order to fit the neoprene wader sock and we were glad we listened because our test pilot said he felt like Cinderella because the fit was “just right”.

INTRODUCING THE 2025 FULL-SIZE POLARIS RANGER LINEUP

Polaris Off Road, the world leader in powersports and off-road innovation, today announced a wide range of owner-inspired upgrades to its class-leading full-size RANGER lineup.

Building on the already best-selling side-by-side in the industry, the 2025 RANGER lineup features a redesigned front end and new front bumper for added durability, an upgraded Gen 2 transmission for smooth and consistent shifting, and additional factory-installed accessories for added rider value and convenience. In addition to the upgrades, Polaris is introducing the all-new RANGER CREW XP 1000 NorthStar Texas Edition, as well as bringing back a fan favorite – the RANGER CREW XP 1000 Waterfowl Edition.

“We constantly use our customers’ feedback to drive improvements that truly matter to them and make the best-selling side-by-side even better. The results of that are on display with the full-size RANGER offering for 2025,” said Chris Judson, Polaris Vice President and General Manager of Off Road Utility. “Whether it’s tackling a tough task or enjoying a trail, the new 2025 full-size RANGER lineup is stacked with quality enhancements, upgraded features and now even more accessories direct from the factory that deliver more capability, durability, and comfort as the number one selling off-road brand.”

Notable upgrades for 2025 include:

  • RANGER XP 1000 and XP 1000 NorthStar have a bold, restyled front-end design, with new bumper and grille for added durability. Additionally, RANGER XP 1000 and RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar models now come standard with 29-inch tires that provide an extra inch of ground clearance for added comfort and better capability to maneuver around rough and rocky terrain.

  • RANGER 1000 Premium and XP 1000 now come factory-installed with a roof for added protection and a Polaris HD 4,500-pound winch with synthetic rope, autostop and wireless remote for pulling power when you need it.

  • Redesigned cab nets with a new single-latch connection point for easier entry and exit.
  • An upgraded electric power steering system with enhanced control and responsiveness, especially at low speeds.
  • New accessories such as an upper front bumper for enhanced durability and premium look; and coming this summer, JBL audio upgrade kits will provide excellent sound quality and premium vehicle integration, and a new reverse light harness will automatically turn on rear accessory lighting when the vehicle is in reverse or by the flip of a switch when the vehicle is parked.

In addition to the new upgrades, the 2025 full-size RANGER lineup continues to provide the features riders have come to expect from Polaris, including class-leading 1,000 pound box capacity and 2,500 pound towing to carry large loads in fewer trips maximizing productivity, as well as on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) that automatically engages four wheel drive when traction loss is detected for confidence in rough terrain.
