Technolgy Explained:
GORE-TEX KOALA: When temperatures drop and only the toughest riders are still on the road, it’s time for the top models of NORTHWAVE’s shoe collection. Thanks to insulating fibres, the GORE-TEX Koala membrane that is used for the Arctic versions of some NORTHWAVE shoes provides optimal protection from cold, which makes it suitable for tough winter weather. It perfectly protects from rain, wind and snow while being extremely breathable: for dry and warm feet! In addition, the outer fabric is easy to clean, e.g. after muddy rides.
NRG AIR CARBON: Thanks to a new mix of fibreglass and carbon-reinforced nylon, NRG Air Carbon Reinforced is now even stiffer. The outsole is equipped with the Airflow ventilation system to provide optimal air circulation inside the shoe thanks to several vents.
CLIMAFLEX: The CLIMAFLEX collar made from soft, insulating neoprene and a highly elastic membrane feels like a sock. Therefore, it offers very good mobility and extensive weather protection. Zero overlap and no Velcro straps, so that foot and ankle can move freely.
GORE-TEX RATTLER: The core of all GORE-TEX textiles is an extremely thin, permanently waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. It has over 1.4 billion micropores per square centimetre. The pores of the GORE-TEX membrane are 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule so that moisture can easily escape. The volume of air that passes through one square metre of fabric in one second not more than 5.0 l/m²sec – which makes the membrane truly windproof. The microscopically small pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than water droplets. Thus, the GORE-TEX membrane is absolutely waterproof. The GORE-TEX RATTLER membrane comes with a robust nylon-Lycra outer fabric for high durability.
S.L.W.2 SYSTEM CLOSURE: The speed lace system closure provides perfect support for your feet, is functional and fast to use: Simply open and close the shoe with a flick of the wrist. A large dial allows for precise tensioning of the wires. The shoes can be fully opened at once or step by step. For gradual release, you can push the little lever at the dial and for full release, you can lift the lever.
ARCTIC 4LAYER: Insole with EVA + Aluminium and EVA + Pile for optimal insulation.
