Binocular Suspenders & Rain Wrap

The Bino Spenders and Bino RainWrap are a really affordable way to keep your binoculars handy and protected from the elements when you’re in the field. Whether you’re hunting, bird watching, taking photographs, you’ll want to keep your binos where you can get to them in a hurry. When it’s raining, snowing, or windy and dusty, you’ll want to keep the lenses from getting dirty. At the same time, you want the whole system to be comfortable. The Bino Spenders/Bino Rainwrap fits the bill perfectly.

Winter Hiking & Running Accessories

Snow has hit many parts of the country already, but it’s never too late to get prepared for the winter season. Even if your winter doesn’t include snow, it might include rain, mud, ice, sleet and other nastiness that can make your outdoor life miserable unless you’re prepared. Here are a couple of running and hiking accessory items that might mean the difference between getting outside and loving it, or getting beat by Mother Nature.

First, running or hiking can be a cartoon-like experience on icy, snowy roads and trails without some kind of traction device. Here are two great systems: The Kahtoola MicroSpikes and the Yaktrax. Both are very good and can prevent slipping and sliding on ice and snow.

YakTrax Pro

Now that you’ve got your grip on, the next thing is to keep the outside elements from getting inside your shoe. The easiest way to do that is with a gaiter. It fits around the bottom of your shoe or boot, and raps around the upper in order to prevent material from getting into the shoe. One of the best gaiters on the market is the Outdoor Research Flex Tex gaiter. It’s flexible and easy to wear, very comfortable, and it works. This is a must-have for the winter runner or hiker.

If it seems like despite all your best efforts, or due to unforeseen circumstances / sudden rainstorms, your boots or shoes are wet after your day out in the Winter Wonderland, you might want to consider investing in a boot dryer or shoe dryer. Drying your shoes after a rainy or snowy workout can be tedious, but the Peet Power Cell portable footwear dryer makes it a snap. While your friends are stuffing wadded-up paper into their shoes and wondering if they’ll be dry in time for the next morning, you’re sitting by the fireplace, wine glass in hand, smiling and totally reassured that your shoes will be fully dried out.

Rainy Weather = Duck Shoes, Duck Boots = Schnee’s

Schnee's Camper Series

Acorns dropping onto the ground, red and yellow leaves gradually adding color to the forests, a little rain, maybe even some brief snow flurries- it must be fall. In the fall it’s time to look deep within the recesses of our shoe closets and pull out an old favorite: the “duck shoe”. Why? Duck boots and duck shoes are so convenient! They slip on, they’re very comfortable, and they protect us from the rain and mud. A good pair of duck boots should last for years and bring a smile to your face whenever you wear yours and notice that everyone else’s feet are getting wet. Duck boots are perfect to wear outside when you take the garbage out, walk the dog, or to wear to the football stadium when rain is expected. Duck shoes occupy the middle ground between dressy leather street shoes on one hand, and heavy winter boots on the other. And they look classy- they’re a perfect marriage of form and function.

Schnee's Camper

Schnee’s has been handcrafting these shoes for more than twenty years. Just like the legendary Schnee’s Pac Boots, our low-top duck boot, which we call the Schnee’s Camper, is an icon. It’s a slip-on shoe with a leather upper and leather lace that goes around the heel and adjusts for a custom fit. It features luxuriously cushioned footbeds and rich, deep brown leather. The best part about this shoe is the price, which has remained $69 for years. If you buy this shoe online, you’ll never pay sales tax. We’ll ship it direct from our manufacturing facility in Bozeman, Montana and you’ll have it in a few days.

Schnee's Traveler

If you want something that goes up a little higher on your foot than the Camper, we also have the Schnee’s Traveler. The Traveler features the same comfortable, cushioned footbeds, but it features a higher, 3-eyelet, waterproof leather upper. The Schnee’s Traveler retails for $89 and is worth every penny. Again, no sales tax if it’s ordered from our website or purchased in any of our Montana retail stores. The Schnee’s Traveler is also available with the Goodyear Rubber Advantage™ outsole, which features Air Bob traction. Here’s a little more information on the Schnee’s Traveler.

Schnee's Forester

The next step forward from the Schnee’s Camper and Traveler is the Schnee’s Forester.  The Forester is a 7″, uninsulated walking boot designed for inclement, but warmer, weather. It’s comfort rated to +35F (same as the Camper and Traveler). It’s also available in the Goodyear Rubber Advantage™ outsole with Air Bob traction.

Between the Schnee’s Camper, the Traveler, and the Forester, you’ll have a pair of inclement weather shoes with a classic, outdoors style. As fall becomes winter, and then spring, these shoes will become an essential part of your wardrobe.

Schnee’s Hyalite Hiking Boot – Sale!

Just a head’s up that the men’s Schnee’s Hyalite hiking boot is on sale now at Schnee’s website.  We’ve reduced the price from $150 to $79.95 – however, sizes are limited to men’s sizes from 10 – 13.  The new version is due soon, but for now, here’s the scoop on the current Schnee’s Hyalite hiking boot: it’s 100% water and windproof and features eVent® technology. eVent® allows footwear to breathe while directly venting sweat to the outside of the fabric in one step. Made with a Vibram® outsole, the Hyalite is built for maximum durability. The Hyalite also features full-grain leather uppers and the Schnee’s premium footbed.

Fall Boot Sale at Schnee’s Retail Store in Bozeman

Well, it’s late September and the snow has started falling. That can only mean one thing: the Schnee’s Fall Boot Sale at Schnee’s on Main Street in Bozeman, Montana!

Click here for more information about Schnee’s Hunter II Pac Boot.

Schnee's Hunter II Pac Boot

The Schnee’s Montana Pac Boot has been a go-to pac boot for most of us for a long time. Because of the lace-less entry and easy to use velcro closure, the Schnee’s Montana is a great boot to keep by the front door or in the mud room, or to use going to and from work, or to wear every day once the ground gets a bit colder. Schnee’s Montana™ Pac Boots will keep your feet warm, and are great for early Fall through late Spring. Like the Hunter II, Schnee’s exclusive high-traction Goodyear Rubber Advantage™ outsole provides excellent traction on the Montana boot. Insulated with 400g Thinsulate™ Ultra Insulation, with a 3mm wool removable liner. Comfort Rated 0°F Inactive, -20°F Active. During the Fall Boot Sale at Schnee’s in Bozeman, the Schnee’s Montana pac boot is $20 off regular price. Click here to read about more features of the Schnee’s Montana Pac Boot.

The Schnee’s Extreme Pac Boot is comfort rated to -40°F Active, -20°F Inactive. Like all the Schnee’s Pac Boots, the Extreme has 6 1/2 ounce, full-grain tanned leather uppers, brass eyelets, removable liners and is rebuildable, meaning that these are boots that should last for years and years. The Schnee’s Extreme Pac Boot is $ 30 off during this sale event. Click here for more information on the Schnee’s Extreme Pac Boot.

Some of the new items in this catalog include our newly launched apparel line.  We are very proud of these new pieces and would love to hear any feedback!

Nearly all of the individuals you see in the catalog work at Schnee’s, at Schnee’s Powder Horn Outfitters, are on the Schnee’s Powder Horn Pro Staff, are part of the Powder Horn Montana television show, or are regular customers of ours who’ve volunteered to be a part of the catalog.
