VentLite GTX Boot

Crafted for lightweight performance, the VentLite GTX Boot features a fully breathable, waterproof GORE-TEX laminate upper. This high-end innovation ensures feet stay dry and comfortable in any weather while setting a new standard for performance.

PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation regulates temperature by locking in warmth during cold conditions and expelling excess heat and moisture when temperatures rise to maintain consistent thermal performance.

The Vibram® Litebase Megagrip outsole provides great traction on any terrain, and its ultra-lightweight construction delivers next-level comfort, making it an essential tool for long days in the field.
