Features:

• Incorporates Omni-Tech™ waterproof and breathable technology, a seam-sealed bootie construction that prevents water entry from the outside while allowing sweat to escape, ensuring feet remain dry and fresh.
• The lightweight Techlite™ midsole provides superior cushioning and high energy return, effectively absorbing impacts and reducing fatigue on long walking days.
• The lacing system features high-strength metal hardware that ensures a firm and personalized fit, improving foot stability and support on uneven terrain.

• Its mid-cut design protects the ankle from twists and impacts, providing essential extra support on slopes and challenging terrain without sacrificing mobility.

Materials:

• Upper: Made with a combination of suede leather and synthetic polyester mesh. Suede provides excellent durability, abrasion resistance, and a classic style, while mesh inserts and the synthetic collar improve the boot's breathability and flexibility.
• Membrane: Omni-Tech™ internal construction with seam-sealed bootie. This microporous membrane is completely impermeable to liquid water but permeable to water vapor (sweat), maintaining a dry and comfortable internal microclimate.
• Midsole: Composed of single-piece Techlite™ EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) foam. This exclusive Columbia material is 30% lighter than traditional EVA, offering industry-leading shock absorption and energy return for long-lasting comfort.
• Outsole: Omni-Grip™ traction rubber with specific lug formulation and design for multiple terrains. The rubber compound is optimized to be non-marking and provide reliable grip in a wide variety of conditions, including wet and slippery surfaces.
• Insole: Made with 100% polyurethane (PU), it offers an initial cushioning base and anatomical foot support, complementing the comfort of the midsole.
• Inner Lining: Made of 100% polyester fabric, a soft material that helps manage internal moisture and improves the feeling of comfort upon foot contact.
• Weight: Boots weighing 456 grams per unit (for men's size 42), achieving an ideal balance between robustness and lightness to reduce fatigue over long distances.
