This model incorporates several technologies for thermal insulation and weather protection:

– GORE-TEX Cirrus XT 4L membrane: A PFAS-free design that ensures waterproofing and wind resistance while wicking away sweat to keep feet dry.
– PrimaLoft Gold 200g Eco insulation: Located in the toe and forefoot areas, this lightweight synthetic material retains body heat without adding excessive bulk.
– Neoprene gaiter and Arctic 4Layer insole: A high-ankle gaiter and a four-layer insole (EVA, aluminum, fleece) limit water ingress and block out the cold from the ground.

In terms of fit, this boot features the brand’s new SLW7 closure system. More compact and over 16% lighter than the previous generation, it allows for a precise fit and features a dial that is fully replaceable by the user.

For power transfer, the shoe features the Morph sole, made of nylon and carbon fiber (stiffness rating of 10), combined with the PowerShape arch support system. The cleat slots offer a wide range of adjustment.
