New and Notable: Kayland Hyper Traction – 2010 Gear Guide

1. STIFF STUFF
   The Kayland Vaporlite Midsole is comprised of a variable-density EVA layer and a full-length injected TPU layer, making for a rigid boot than offers powerful edging support and crampon control. The ECT (Engineered Carbon Technology) Traction composite insole ups stiffness (and toughness) even more.
2. GAITOR DONE
   The Hyper Traction’s insulating gaitor employs a Schoeller® waterproofing treatment and a RIRI Aquazip closure in the front, plus a Velcro top flap, to keep your feet dry and warm in the gnarliest conditions.
3. LOCK DOWN
   The Hyper Traction’s lacing system uses a band that circles the ankle and anchors to the laces (Kayland calls this the Ankle Lock System), allowing you to lock down your foot without compromising ankle mobility.
