Used and abused backpacking, mountaineering, and in wildland fire management, the respected La Sportiva Glacier returns as the new Glacier WLF. This burly boot was redesigned with a slightly higher cuff and is made using special heat-resistant glues. Designed for forest management work and post fire clean up work, it is also a fantastic backpacking boot when carrying heavy loads on rough, uneven terrain
- 8 inch cuff height meets federal standards for wild land firefighting
- Dry-Best® lining keeps skin dry, cool and comfortable by transporting moisture away from the skin
- Heat resistant sole with a rubber compound that is resistant to 300°C
- Heat resistant glue to 100° C (Keep in mind that heat-activated glue WILL delaminate when exposed to fire or heat. This delam is not covered under warranty.)
- 8mm MtnFlex with 1.5 mm Dacromet-coated half steel shank, all La Sportiva insoles are proportionally graded to fit the sizing structure of the boot and to create the perfect flex for each size
- Lhotse Mtnflex insoles also contain carbon fiber reinforcing for added torsional rigidity.
- Premium silicone impregnated rough-out 3mm Italian Idro-Perwanger Leather is extremely water repellent while still remaining breathable
- Vibram® Ice-New HRO Test and ISO 20344 Certified
- Please keep in mind this boot is NOT designed for front line firefighting
