Hi John, By reputation, Ravenspring (www.ravensrping.com) offers Kokatat 
quality at a much lower price. After a lot of cogitation and discussion on 
paddling.net, I just ordered from Ravenspring rather than Kokatat. Should 
have it within 2 weeks. The decision came down to gortex versus latex 
booties and price (~900 versus 500 dollars).  I opted for latex and 
cheaper.  Best, John
