Agile, lightweight, and rugged, the La Sportiva Men's Aequilibrium Hike GORE-TEX is a mid-cut hiking boot perfect for mixed-terrain hiking. They are 100% waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane, and highly breathable thanks to the lightweight, synthetic fabric. Yet there is no compromise on durability - the abrasion-resistant upper also has a hard-wearing rand in the most exposed areas.
La Sportiva’s 3D Flex System Evo ensures natural flexibility and mobility at the ankle while guaranteeing control for both ascending and descending. Underfoot, the Vibram Megagrip compound and patented Impact Brake System lugs ensure maximum stability, traction, and precision. They are also resoleable, so you can extend the life of your favourite boots.
Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® product technology offer a unique solution for specific activities and climate conditions, to individually fit consumers needs. Each GORE-TEX® product class consists of a distinct laminate package including specific core technologies such as membrane, production processes and textile choices.
GORE-TEX® products Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® product technology are durably waterproof and windproof combined with optimised breathability. Gore invests heavily in field testing to understand end user needs which allows Gore to provide the GORE-TEX® GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise.
GORE-TEX® Pro products Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® Pro product technology are built for maximised ruggedness and are ideal for extreme and extended use. All components are built for maximized ruggedness while strict textile performance specifications ensure optimum strength. All GORE-TEX® Pro garments must pass Gore’s toughest test conditions and most aggressive rainstorm test.
GORE-TEX® Active products Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® Active product technology are built for extreme breathability and are ideal for highly aerobic, done in a day activities. All components are built for optimised sweat management to ensure extreme breathability and optimum comfort in high aerobic conditions. The performance is also supported by a tight fitting and minimalistic garment design.
GORE-TEX® Shakedry products Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® Shakedry product technology are bult for ultra lightweight performance. The unique fabric construction uses the laminate as the external weather barrier, with ‘film-out’ GORE-TEX® Shakedry technology ensuring maximum water repellency. By removing the traditional external face fabric breathability is maximised while sweat accumulation and weight is reduced. An internal fabric backer aids next-to-skin comfort.
GORE-TEX Paclite® Paclite® product technology is the ideal solution for hiking, golf, travel and other activities where space and weight are critical. A protective layer on the inside of the GORE-TEX® membrane makes a separate lining unnecessary. The result: minimum weightand pack volume.
