Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.

- Enhanced braking effect
- Enhanced traction

Impact:
- Enhanced shock absorption
- Reduced articultaion fatigue

Gore-Tex Pro:

basecamp, you need gear you can rely on. GORE-TEX PRO garments are built to be very rugged, meaning you can rely on your gear to
last from one adventure, and season, to the next. GORE-TEX PRO garments take our GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise to the next level. Thanks to the system of outer face textiles, the GORE-TEX membrane and inner lining designed to be as robust as possible, you are protected even when you’re pushing yourself to go harder and further over rough terrain and in extreme conditions.
GORE-TEX PRO garments have been engineered to be very breathable and use a specially processed GORE-TEX membrane that allows moisture from sweat vapor to escape, keeping your body’s microclimate balanced for longer. Plus these garments are also totally windproof, so you stay more comfortable even when you’re out there mastering the extreme for hours on end.
