La Sportiva - Nepal Cube GTX, mountaineering boot

La Sportiva - Nepal Cube GTX Men, technical mountaineering boot

It is the lightest and most insulating technical mountaineering boot from the Nepal family: it represents the state of the art in the market of technical boots dedicated to use at high altitudes and climbing with crampons on mixed terrain.
Nepal Cube is a new starting point, a new standard for technical mountaineering boots thanks to its exceptional lightness (only 825 grams per half pair) and high thermal insulation; qualities obtained thanks to the lightening of the sole/midsole package which involves the use of a highly insulating insole in honeycomb Carbon Tech, to contain the weight of the steel small parts. The overall comfort of fit is given by the use of the Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort membrane which guarantees breathability and waterproofing and the EZ OUT webbing technology which facilitates and speeds up the release of the lace lock with a single quick movement. Walking is also facilitated by the multidirectional 3D Flex System ankle joint, which facilitates walking and supports the ankle on the most rugged terrain. The Vibram sole with Impact Brake System absorbs impacts, helps in traction and holds during braking thanks to the differentiated thickness of the blocks. Nepal Cube: the origin of a new species.
