Northwave Flash Arctic GTX Winter Road Boots

Flash Arctic GTX

Northwave's versatile road boot for extreme conditions, designed to deliver comfort, warmth and performance in a winter boot. Constructed from GoreTex's Koala membrane, a winter specific material suitable for temperatures from -10 to +5°C, these boots supply all the warmth and comfort you would expect in these winter conditions. The shoes provide a waterproof barrier with excellent thermal insulation and the same outstanding power transfer that Northwave owners have come to expect from their shoes. The addition of the Climaflex collar completes the package as a superb pair of boots to tackle many winter road riding seasons.

Climaflex

No matter the season, riders just want to focus on pedalling and maximising their performance with no distractions. Northwave’s next generation of winter boots is now one-step closer to riders’ needs with the brand new Climaflex collar construction.

Free from overlaps and Velcro, the Climaflex collar is designed to deliver unprecedented mobility for riders and make their winter boots feel like an extension of their legs. Without the use of conventional Velcro multi-panel ankle designs that limit your body’s natural movements, the foot and ankle feel like an integral part of the body as soon as the boots are on to they fit like a seamless connection that minimises hotspots.

This unbeatable freedom of movement sets a before-and-after for winter shoes that perfectly matches the Climaflex protection from the weather created by the combination of soft, highly insulating thermal Neoprene and the extremely elastic Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane in key areas. The two synergistically create a wind- and waterproof barrier that keeps feet warm and cosy.
