        I'll second, third, and fourth this sentiment.  My feet were never
so warm and toasty before I changed to the latex boots.  And yes, you do
need to get larger neoprene overbooties to account for all that latex.
        Incidentally, my order of donning is legs first, then  left arm,
right arm, and finally neck.  Seems to be less of a contortionist's trick
for me that way.
        Just wait until the time when you accidentally get your leg through
one of the arms by mistake.........
