Total protection, surprising lightness

Weighing just 290 grams, the Norvan Nivalis is among the lightest winter boots in its category. Despite this, protection is guaranteed by high-quality materials and solutions:

  • GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper: waterproof, keeps feet dry even in variable conditions.
  • Integrated ankle gaiter: prevents snow, rain and debris from entering, sealing the shoe in the most extreme sections.
  • Quick lacing system with single drawstring and pocket to lock the laces: practical even with cold hands.
  • Dual density padding on the collar: improves foot containment and reduces toe shock when descending.
