Eiger XT GV EVO has been selected among the 10 testing boots for its performance on climbing ice, rocks and snow, for the reasonably warm and feet protection from the elements but it mainly surprised the testers for its lightweight, which outperforms the other products.

Specifically designed for ice climbing and technical mountaineering, the Eiger XT EVO GV is the most agile and lightweight model into the Expedition category in Asolo international collection.

Let’s see all the technical features of the Eiger XT EVO GV:

The model has the outer gaiter in Schoeller Soft Shell with YKK zip closure ensures lightness and abrasion resistance, while the Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort Footwear lining guarantees insulation, waterproofing and breathability. The Pu rand and rubber toe cap offer maximum protection.

The internal shell is made of four different materials (Cordura, microfibre, non-woven fabric, Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort Footwear) and it is light, comfortable and protective with fast-lock closure. The six-layer carbon footbed offers the best support and stiffness.

The outsole package is composed of a microporous midsole which assures comfort, cushioning, stability and support and the Vibram Litebase rubber outsole which uses the Mont compound to offer lightness, grip and precision.

The model is adaptable to automatic crampons.
