A lightweight, quiet and stable boot that offers the walking comfort of a hiking boot with the protection and support of a backpacking boot, is the ultimate combo for taking on tactical hunting missions.

The safety certified Z-8S/Z-6S GTX is a robust boot that impresses with functionality and reduced weight for operations in demanding terrain where a supportive yet light boot is desirable.

This boot is suitable for hunting trips that require a light and quiet boot or for tactical missions carrying medium to heavy packweight. The Z-8S provides extra ankle support with the 8 inch high cut whereas the Z-6S features all the same benefits in a mid ankle cut.

Features:

• Split Leather Upper: The perforated leather improves the breathability of waterproof Gore-Tex lining.
• Gore-Tex® Lining: Allows for moisture and sweat to escape while preventing water from entering from the outside.
• Medium Flex Stabilizer Full Length: Provides sturdy underfoot support.
• LOWA MONOWRAP® Frame: Reduces overall boot weight without compromising flexibility.
• Closed Lace Hooks: Prevents the laces from getting caught on objects upon contact.
• Polyurethane (PU) Midsole: Added cushioned comfort will last longer on the trail. PU midsoles do not deform under heavy packloads so you can carry more without compromising weight and flexibility.
• LOWA® Tactical Z Trac® Outsole: The advantage of a rubber outsole is its good grip on varying surfaces so you have the most control on slippery terrain. It is also heat and cold insulating, antistatic and resistant to contact heat, oil and fuel.

You invest a lot of time, money and effort in your outdoor adventures, so it makes sense that you invest in the most comfortable, durable footwear you can find.

A tapered nylon footbed also provides you with more support through stiffening the sole fo the boot.

The Alpina Tundra boot is a versatile, mid-length shoe that is well suited for hiking and outdoors activities. The inner surface has a nice, pleated textile lining. The tongue of the shoe and the opening are coated with a soft mesh material of about 3.5 cm in length, making the shoe feel always dry and comfortable against the leg even when the going gets rough.

The outer surface of the shoe is 2mm thick nubuck leather, which is durable and long-lasting. At the top of the shoe there is a soft polished leather upper part which increases the flexibility of the shoe while walking. The sole of the boot is made the same way as the Alpina Trapper, upper and lower parts of the boot have been cast together instead of traditional gluing. This method increases the life of the rubber sole compared to the adhesive based attachment between sole and lower boot.

Tundra is really flexible in the longitudinal direction, while still having the necessary rotational stiffness. Alpina uses their own Alpitex -membrane with these boots, which means they are waterproof and highly breathable. Also the rubber sole has been made from Alpina's own rubber combound meaning it wont slip and or harden in sub zero temperatures.

Features:

• Easy going and comfortable mid-length hiking boots
• Based on the Alpina Trapper model
• Padded, durable and elastic rubber sole
• Waterproof and breathable Alpitex membrane
• Wide stretcher suitable for Nordic feet
• Removable insoles

Specifications:
