- Construction:
Hike 'N' Ride construction: New construction specifically designed to make the transition and performance between touring and hiking modes smoother (as well as the new front tilt adjustment and auto-power strap). Hiking mode offers a softer flex and ride mode a more responsive and rigid flex.
- Liner:
Cloud 8 Liner : The top of the range liner from Nitro, the best of the best in terms of accessible comfort. The Cloud 8 liner can be thermoset, fitting your foot like a cosy slipper!
ILS Liner lacing: Internal lacing of the shoe designed to reduce friction using dyneema for durability.
RE/lace Liner locker: Possibility to retighten the liner even after putting on the boots.
- Lacing and tightening
TLS 5 Twin Lacing System: Easy to tighten and loosen. The Dyneema laces are very resistant to abrasion for a long lifespan. The TLS 5 system is compact, lightweight and reliable, for multi-zone lacing that will not budge. Easy to repair in the event of breakage.
Molded TLS Lace Handles: ergonomic handles for powerful tightening. Side pocket to hold the handles.
Bail Out System: The tongue allows you to easily loosen your laces, no matter how hard you tightened them.
auto-power Strap: Adjustable strap located on the upper part of the shell, which can be easily adjusted. Quick opening and closure thanks to a simple strap ring. Adjustment becomes more reactive when you tighten it. If you want a looser fit, you just loosen or remove the strap.
Adjustable Forward Lean: the customisable strap / velcro on the boot allows the forward angle to be adjusted. The responsiveness and flex of the boots allow you to go from a comfortable touring flex to a more important ride flex. The adjustable Forward Lean is closely linked to the auto-power Stap, in order to find a perfect fit.
New 45° Lace glider: Plastic insert reduces the friction of the laces at the ankle.
- Reinforcements:
Internal Ankle Support: An anatomical moulding distributes the lacing pressure evenly across the instep for a more precise fit.
Power Tongue Stiffener : allows you to adjust the rigidity and hold of the inner liner. From a very firm tightening to the tightest fit.
Rubber Toe protection: Toe protection worthy of a mountaineering shoe, using a rubber that is resistant to crampons, rocks and ice.
Modeled crampon heel cup: Overhang for compatibility with semi-automatic crampons.
Molded Spine Protection: A real spine of the shoe offering a constant flex over time.
-Comfort:
Terminateur Shield: Sheet of aluminium between the sole and the liner to reflect and conserve the heat from your feet.
Flex Link Design: flexible area between the lower and upper parts of the boot for maximum freedom.
- Insole:
Ortholite Dual Density Footbed: Double density foam sole that is shock absorbent. Aerated structure for good ventilation, reducing mould and odours. Your friends will thank you when you take your boots off in the evening!
- Outsole:
Vibram® Outsole made of Icetrek™ And ARCTIC GRIP Vibram® Compound: Virbram Arctic Grip rubber has strong grip even on wet surfaces. Combined with the other Vibram rubber, you get the most gripping sole in all weather conditions. Vibram rubber sole developed to offer grip and traction on snow and ice. The Vibram Icetrek sole is ready for any conditions. The flexibility of the rubber and the studs, as well as the width of the sole, improve the traction and lifespan of the sole.
