Technologies
Gore-Tex®
Gore-Tex® fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex® products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate. Gore-Tex® in a 3-layer construction offers a combination of enhanced durability and high breathability, while the 2-layer laminate provides lightweight weather protection.
VIBRAM®
Vibram® soles, thanks to the combination of hyper-functional design and exclusive rubber compounds, ensure best performances in terms of comfort and lasting quality.
Regular Fit
For hiking and backpacking: normal fit, all-terrain.
Das Inside
DAS - Dolomite Anatomic System - is the construction system used to produce most of the models in the Dolomite collection. Its aim is to ensure that the internal shape of the footwear follows the anatomy of the foot itself as closely as possible, and to comply with the natural biomechanics of the foot. By keeping the impact of footstrike to a minimum and facilitating natural movements, extraordinary levels of comfort and safety can be achieved. DAS shoes are designed to meet the demands of different sporting activities, carefully balancing performance, comfort, lightness, reliability and sturdiness. The system comprises: ANATOMICAL LAST - The surfaces and volumes of DAS lasts reproduce the anatomy of the average human foot, creating a precision fit and superior comfort. ANATOMIC FOOTBED - The removable footbed provide the right support, improving stability by distributing body weight evenly and keeping the foot in a correct position. MOULDED MIDSOLE - The midsoles are moulded to faithfully reproduce the anatomy of the last. In this way, firm contact is ensured between the foot and the ground, creating smooth rolling and stable, safe support.
Dolomite Wrapping System
The Elasticised construction of the tongue ensures a snug, anatomical fit, while specially-conceived design and padding maintain a natural range of motion for the foot. Benefits: increased Comfort Levels, improved Performance, improved precision of movement.
