HydroSeal
HydroSeal is a highly durable and waterproof laminate that delivers superb winter protection. This protective layer utilizes a micro-porous, hydrophobic lamination that allows your feet to maintain a comfortable temperature and not retain perspiration. It is also uncommonly tenacious, retaining its waterproof rating longer than many comparable technologies, keeping the wearer dry, warm, and comfortable thoughout the winter.
Heal Cradle Technology
As the beginning of every stride cycle, the heel plant is critical. It must help to absorb the forces of body mass, momentum, and torque. Also, it is the first stage in stabilizing the foot plant, setting the tone for the remainder of the stride.
The North Face Heal Cradle utilizes two constructions in providing the precisely correct performance to the outdoor athlete: - In rugged terrain or when the athlete is bearing a moderate to heavy load, Heal Cradle Technology utilizes a polyurethane (PU) foundation. This composition maximizes shock absorption.
- In situations that call for a lighter weight construction and not as much shock absorption, a higher-density EVA replaces PU.
In both cases, the topmost Heal Cradle layer has a slightly cupped shape that literally cradles the heel, helping to stabilize it in the process. Ultimately, Heal Cradle seamlessly offers more lateral/medial stability to the foot, positioning it for a smooth transition into the next stage of the stride cycle.
PrimaLoft Insulation
PrimaLoft is a patented ultrafine microfiber blend that is incredibly soft, lightweight and water repellent. PrimaLoft synthetic insulation absorbs three times less water, is 15% warmer when dry, and is 24% warmer when wet than the closest competitive insulation. In addition to these impressive thermal properties, PrimaLoft is lightweight with a down like softness that adds comfort and appeal.
Northotic Footbed
The Northotic ergonomically designed footbed takes a footwear element normally relegated as an afterthought and infuses it with performance features. The shoe insert may seem trivial - in fact, some inserts are the performance equivalent of corrugated cardboard - but it holds the potential to enhance the athletic experience. The North Face has taken the insert and elevated it to a superior-performance, multi-density footbed with enhanced stability, support, and cushioning.
TNF Winter Grip
The North Face Winter Grip is a softer, tackier rubber compound designed specifically to provide ample traction in the wettest and slickest weather conditions. Used in connection with winter specific outsole desiges with multi-directional lugs and substantial conact area, TNF Winter Grip is a perfect fit in snow based environments.
AgION
AgION is an anit-microbial sliver agent woven into the top sheet of the footbed inhibits the growth of odors and disease causing bacteria.
