GORE-TEX® XCR® TECHNOLOGY GORE-TEX® TECHNOLOGY SKYWALK® VIBRAM®
The primary attribute associated with GORE-TEX® XCR® footwear is comfort. Exceptional breathability is achieved without sacrificing waterproof protection. The end result is highly breathable, durably waterproof footwear. Footwear with a GORE-TEX® XCR® membrane is well suited for high aerobic activities and warm temperature environments.

"If it doesn't say
GORE-TEX®, it's not."
A sophisticated membrane system combined with proven manufacturing techniques makes GORE-TEX® footwear waterproof, breathable, and comfortable. External water is repelled while internal moisture is allowed to pass through the membrane, keeping feet dry and comfortable. GORE-TEX® footwear provides time-tested durability, and delivers on its Guaranteed To Keep You Dry® promise. Dependable, functional, durable. The workhorse of outsoles. Lug design and rubber compounds are matched to create activity-appropriate outsoles that cover the gambit of outdoor activity. Exceptional design intersects with innovative rubber compounds to create versatile, performance outsoles. Art meets function, experience confronts the future, Vibram® outsoles are poetry in motion. Proven over time, these soles offer excellent traction and high abrasion resistance in a multitude of environments.

STEALTH® RUBBER AIRMESH TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM EXO-THERM™
The highest friction rubber available, Stealth® also provides maximum shock absorption. Each of Stealth®'s unique compounds are engineered to provide optimal characteristics for specific activities and conditions. Stealth® is your guarantee of exceptional performance on any angle terrain. Airmesh fabric is an abrasion-resistant, three dimensional fabric that has been engineered to provide a very open pore structure to deliver unparalleled breathability. The lining and the exterior fabric are actually produced as one integral layer, eliminating the need for additional adhesives or backings that can limit airflow.

What is I.T.? It's Vasque's Integration Technology System where the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Built on a proprietary Vasque last, each technological element is biomechanically designed to maximize performance. When integrated together, each component enhances the function of the entire system.

A patented 4-layer composite material that is lightweight, flexible, durable and warm. The resulting composite is superior in performance - more waterproof than leather, more flexible than plastic, and warmer than both.
