Berghaus Men's Hillmaster II GORE-TEX Walking Boot

Product Information

AT Optic - Combine the thermal insulation and pill resistance of a good mid-weight fleece fabric but with a unique look to ensure they look as good as they perform. Meanwhile, incorporated GORE-TEX® technology keeps water out while letting sweat escape, so your feet will never get clammy.

As the fabric in question is Gore-Tex Pro we can only provide data using RET as this is the standard test Gore-Tex use for their fabrics (Gore may be able to supply more data). WATERPROOF GUARANTEE Feet stay reliably dry with 100% waterproof ‘Extended Comfort’ GORE-TEX® membrane. This lace up boot also looks fairly stylish with the simple two-tone design in either chocolate or coffee brown. From Helvellyn to the Himalyas, Berghaus has an amazing ability to tap into that feeling of joy and discovery in the outdoors. Even in the driving hail, it’s where we all feel at home. This is the feeling behind Berghaus. From the first shop in the North East of England, Berghaus have come a long way. In 50 years, they’ve used their experience to design, test and develop well thought out kit that’s built to last. Loved worldwide, Berghaus know that the difference between enjoying the outdoors and truly loving it is all down to one simple thing. Ideal Berghaus kit.Advanced Thermals: Fleece fabrics developed exclusively for Berghaus ensuring excellent thermal insulation properties, pilling resistance and great styling. There are many different tests for breathability of a fabric. Several test methods will give results in g/m²/24hours (I’m not sure which method the customer is referring to) whereas RET, which is the standard test used by Gore-Tex, gives results in m²Pa/W. Berghaus walking footwear is crafted from a range of durable materials including tough Pittards® leather, The supple, top grade suede looks good but also keeps feet feeling fresh, while breathable mesh that’s woven through the outer gives a breath of fresh air when you need it.

This boot brings you the features you’ll need to take on all the weather and landscapes the UK can throw at you. Shoulder Harness: The shoulder harness needs to be contoured away from the bust to give women the freedom of movement and prevent uncomfortable pressure. Women normally have narrower shoulders than men, thus we have slightly narrower strap to maximise comfort.Breathable protection - thanks to the breathable Gore-Tex comfort membrane, even the wettest weather won’t get through, while your feet still feel cool and refreshed Improved tongue and collar pattern with memory foam adapts to your feet and ankles for a truly bespoke fit. SURE-FOOTED Hip Belt: As the hip belt sits higher on women we have altered the cut in two ways. First, the overall height of the hip belt needs to be reduced to prevent it from digging under the rib cage (or diaphragm). Secondly, we have developed a customised fit on the bottom of the hip fin to sit more comfortably on the hips.

All of our waterproof products, following their manufacture, are treated with a waterproof coating on the outside of the garment. This feature is in addition to the Gore-Tex or AQ waterproof membrane inside the garment. Lightweight but tough – the face fabric is remarkably light yet twice as durable as any other competitor.

BREATHABLE PROTECTION Thanks to a breathable GORE-TEX® performance comfort membrane, even the wettest weather can’t touch your feet, while sweat makes a clean getaway. Plus, breathable mesh panels are a breath of fresh air and OrthoLite® footbeds provide a comfortable cushioned fit RET is the resistance to evaporative heat loss meaning the lower the number the more breathable a fabric is. During the test a fabric is placed on a ‘sweating guarded hot plate’ (a porous hot plate with water channelled through it) and the required energy to keep this plate at a constant temperature is measured in m²Pa/W (area[m²] Pressure[Pa] / energy[W]) WATERPROOF GUARANTEE - Wet conditions are off the forecast inside and out, as the breathable GORE-TEX® lining keeps the weather out while setting sweat free. WATERPROOF GUARANTEE Make the most of any day with dry comfy feet, thanks to the breathable GORE-TEX® Performance lining.

The waterproof coating acts as a shield towards wet weather, and allows the water to simply bead off the garment. If this waterproof coating has faded away over time, the water that gets on to the garment will not bead off as easily and will build up. This means that there is an extra coating of water on the outside of the garment, which inhibits the breathability and does not allow warm air and condensation on the inside of the garment to escape. This can result in what appears to be a leaking product, when in fact the build up of moisture on the inside is warm air and condensation that cannot escape. Ready for anything - you’ll power through every kind of landscape thanks to a lightweight but durable construction loaded with comfort and performance features Berghaus recommend that you machine wash your item at 30 degrees Celsius and use soap powder or liquid with no fabric softeners or conditioners. For stubborn grease and dirt use non biological detergent with no softeners or conditioners. The garment should be air dried or if the care label allows tumble dried at a low heat setting.Hardwearing and durable, supple suede offers feet great moveability whilst the AQ® waterproof lining keeps them dry all day long. LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE The lightweight Supalite II GTX won't slow you down, with no compromise to performance, durability or comfort.
