La Sportiva Batura 2.0 GTX

An extremely technical boot designed for high altitude mountaineering with a double waterproof and breathable Gore Tex layer. This new and innovative construction method has been developed after 2 years of collaborative field and laboratory testing in partnership with Gore-Tex. The first layer applies a Gore Tex membrane to both the gaiter and the Cordura shell while the second layer uses a Gore Tex insulated comfort layer for the inner bootie. This solution guarantees the best possible combination of waterproof, breathability and thermal insulation properties.

The new carbon underfoot with a honeycomb construction gives form and lightens the midsole package. “Batura 2.0 Gore-Tex is the greatest step forward in extreme moutaineering footwear”, says Simone Moro, official product tester, during the first winter ascent of Gasherbrum II.
