Kenetrek Mountain Guide Boots
www.kenetrek.com
The Kenetrek Mountain Guide Boot is the one that professionals rely upon. Kenetrek continues to work on making it even better; adding a new, rock-solid, one-piece vulcanized-rubber K-73 outsole to the boot that already keeps sheep up at night. Tough hunts mean traversing glaciers and navigating scree fields with ridiculous weight on your back and just enough air to catch your breath . . . and that’s when staying upright becomes everything. Boots are available in a 400-gram Thinsulate version or a non-insulated model. Boots also feature: 10-inch-tall, 2.8-mm-thick premium full-grain leather uppers with one-piece vamp construction and no seams down the tongue for better abrasion resistance; reinforced double- and triple stitching in high-wear areas, anti-corrosion boot hardware that swivels instead of breaks; protective rubber toe cap for extra abrasion resistance; and a Windtex waterproof, breathable, flexible membrane that keeps water out but allows perspiration vapor to escape.

Windproof, waterproof and breathable, the Takur series is Kryptek’s answer to facing the harshest elements. Built with Schoeller’s cutting-edge nylon fabric technology, the Takur series uses a three-layer, 100-percent waterproof laminate rated at 19,500mm H2O. This means you get maximum protection in wet conditions. In addition, they added Schoeller c-change technology that reacts to your activity levels to ensure a pleasant body climate. The technology in this pant is able to react to changing temperatures and moisture levels by means of an advanced polymer fabric structure. The structure contracts at periods of low-activity levels, keeping you warm and dry while expanding at periods of high-activity levels, allowing moisture vapor to be released to the outside air. This rain gear is truly on the forefront of fabric technology.
