SEE TECHNOLOGY Zenith Zenith is a unique high performance climbing rubber compound developed by Boreal. This compound provides outstanding friction and excellent hold on small edges. SEE TECHNOLOGY FS Quattro FS Quattro is a unique climbing rubber compound developed Boreal. This compound provides excellent abrasion resistance and consistent performance over a wide temperature range. SEE TECHNOLOGY Heel Fit System The Heel Fit System (HFS) consists of anatomically sculpted pieces of foam padding which hold the heel comfortably and securely in place to avoid unwanted movement. SEE TECHNOLOGY Friction Skin Friction Skin is the name given to our special coating designed to enhance friction on the top of the shoe. Granules of our ultra sticky Zenith rubber are combined with a durable glue to create a thin and supple rubber layer over the toes. SEE TECHNOLOGY Slim Fit Last The Slim Fit Last (SFL) is a specially developed last shape designed to fit the contours of lower volume, narrower feet. SEE TECHNOLOGY Bi-Flex Bi-Flex is a system developed by Boreal to improve the forward and lateral flexibility of mountain boots around the ankle area. Bi-Flex greatly enhances both the walking comfort and freedom of movement when climbing. SEE TECHNOLOGY Wrap Rand The wrap rand takes the concept of our V2 Rand and develops it further. The rubber surrounds the arch of the foot and supports it in the optimum position for strength and precision. SEE TECHNOLOGY Strap Tongue System STS is a three piece tongue system which uses tabs to allow the tongue to be repositioned. Use STS to reposition the tongue to suit the shape of your lower leg for a personalized and more comfortable fit. SEE TECHNOLOGY Comfort Flex System CFS is a system to improve the flexibility of hiking boots around the ankle area in a fore/aft direction. CFS greatly enhances the ergonomics of the boot resulting in a more natural and comfortable walking action. SEE TECHNOLOGY Thermal Layer System A thermal insulation system using Thinsulate® to completely surround the foot with no cold spots. The Thinsulate® lining is fixed in place with minimal use of adhesives to maximize loft. The base of the boot is uniquely insulated with triple Thinsulate® to minimize heat loss through the sole unit. SEE TECHNOLOGY Cushioned Heel System In order to improve comfort when stepping off the rock or walking between routes, Boreal developed the Cushioned Heel System (CHS). Using shock absorbing EVA under the heel, the foot is cushioned from rocky and hard ground. SEE TECHNOLOGY Mix2Fit One of the difficult decisions often faced by climbers is whether to choose the precision and adjustability of a lace-up shoe, or the convenience of a strap closure. With the innovative Mix2Fit system, Boreal has combined elements of both lace and strap closures to create a highly adjustable and secure yet convenient system with the principle benefits of both. SEE TECHNOLOGY Integrated Rand System The IRS system goes a step further in the manufacturing of climbing shoes. This one piece climbing sole never deforms and has a superior fit. We can achieve different thicknesses in the rubber and the one-piece construction increases durability. SEE TECHNOLOGY Lateral Torsion System The Lateral Torsion System is the latest development in rand tensioning technology. A tensioning band is used in conjunction with varying rubber thickness to produce a highly supportive yet supple hold on the foot. SEE TECHNOLOGY Ankle Lace System The Ankle Lace System (ALS) allows the lace to pull around the back of the ankle to provide an improved fit and eliminating foot movement inside the shoe. SEE TECHNOLOGY V2 Rand The V2 Rand provides a 2-band tensioning system, ensuring a great fit for the heel and arch of the foot. SEE TECHNOLOGY XTP Footbed The Extreme Thermal Protection footbed has superior thermal insulation performance to help protect against extreme cold. XTP is used on our Mountaineering and Expedition boots. SEE TECHNOLOGY TPNet TPNet is an external TPU lattice structure which is injected into the outer fabric. TPNet is used to add support and protection to the upper whilst adding minimal weight and it allows for maximum breathability.
