Product Information

We’ve upgraded the lightweight comfort with a streamlined, one-piece construction in soft but strong leather that resists water, laughs off abrasions and helps prevent blisters. LONG LASTING COMFORT Enjoy all day comfort and cushioning from the midsole construction and OrthoLite® Hike footbed.

Meanwhile, incorporated GORE-TEX® technology keeps water out while letting sweat escape, so your feet will never get clammy. Help stop slips with excellent grip from the VIBRAM® rubber sole • Maximise grip on every step, with the new anti-mud-clogging system Improved tongue and collar pattern with memory foam adapts to your feet and ankles for a truly bespoke fit. SURE-FOOTED Unfortunately none of these tests correlate with each other and in fact different fabrics types appear to perform better on different tests so they are not interchangeable.As the fabric in question is Gore-Tex Pro we can only provide data using RET as this is the standard test Gore-Tex use for their fabrics (Gore may be able to supply more data). However to speak in general terms you would normally expect most fabrics with a RET of 6 m²Pa/W to have an Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate of well over 20,000 g/m²/24hours when tested using the most commonly known MVTR test method (Inverted cup B1 method).

Price Match Promise

This all means long lasting comfort and support for those hill walking adventures. Overall, most users are impressed with the Berghaus walking boots and are happy to wear this quite often. WATERPROOF GUARANTEE - Wet conditions are off the forecast inside and out, as the breathable GORE-TEX® lining keeps the weather out while setting sweat free.

Thanks to a breathable GORE-TEX® performance comfort membrane, even the wettest weather can’t touch your feet, while sweat makes a clean getaway. TAILORED TO YOU WATERPROOF GUARANTEE Make the most of any day with dry comfy feet, thanks to the breathable GORE-TEX® Performance lining.

To answer the question regarding the acronym RET and the unit of measure….RET is the resistance to evaporative heat loss meaning the lower the number the more breathable a fabric is. Made from a robust yet lightweight suede, you can really enjoy the freedom of getting out there, with support exactly where you need it. Berghaus is committed to being a responsible business, and we give our designers and suppliers the guidance they need to avoid the use of any potentially harmful substances. Compliance with our restricted substances policy, and relevant laws and regulations, is a condition of business with suppliers. Hardwearing and durable, supple suede offers feet great moveability whilst the AQ® waterproof lining keeps them dry all day long.

Berghaus have upgraded the lightweight comfort with a streamlined, one-piece construction in soft but strong leather that resists water, laughs off abrasions and helps prevent blisters.When stopping in the outdoors after a strenuous uphill section, the continued cooling effect on the skin through sweat evaporating and conducted heat loss, will cause excessive cooling and resulting in discomfort. Now suppose that an exposed ridge has been reached and the cold biting wind adds to the cooling effect and suddenly we have a dangerous situation. Moving the sweat off the skin does not stop the cooling effect. Excessive heat will still evaporate the sweat but on the surface of the base layer not the skin. Heat loss through conduction (water/sweat) is a very good conductor of heat) is reduced considerably though, as the sweat is only on the skin for a short time. WATERPROOF GUARANTEE Feet stay reliably dry with 100% waterproof ‘Extended Comfort’ GORE-TEX® membrane. Hip Belt: As the hip belt sits higher on women we have altered the cut in two ways. First, the overall height of the hip belt needs to be reduced to prevent it from digging under the rib cage (or diaphragm). Secondly, we have developed a customised fit on the bottom of the hip fin to sit more comfortably on the hips. AT Optic - Combine the thermal insulation and pill resistance of a good mid-weight fleece fabric but with a unique look to ensure they look as good as they perform. Weighing less than a kilo per pair, the Supalite II GTX won't slow you down and won’t compromise on performance, durability or comfort
