The Bora Mid GTX delivers durable, supportive multiday hiking performance with GORE-TEX® waterproof/breathable protection, Arc’teryx Adaptive Fit comfort, and a hardwearing seamless thermolaminated upper. Agile and supportive, the custom Vibram® outsole adapts to shifting trail surfaces and topographies, while still providing support and long haul durability. The spherical heel design facilitates a smooth stride, and employs “Y” groove split heel technology for exceptional braking and agility. The injected EVA midsole provides cushioning and support, and is designed and moulded to work in tandem with the outsole. Three dimensional moulded toe and heel caps protect the foot and further extend durability, and the 3D moulded Ortholite™ footbed ups the comfort level during extended days on trail.
Next generation design requires new approaches. Arc’teryx Technical Performance Footwear employs an exclusive design, Adaptive Fit, which employs a separate internal liner that stretches around the foot for an instant custom fit with no pressure. The Bora Mid GTX’s unique stretch GORE-TEX® liner uses minimal seams and adhesive to secure the membrane, maximizing its waterproof/ breathable surface area. The separate shell and liner construction also allows the GORE-TEX® to extend to the very top edge of the cuff, considerably higher than traditional constructions, to further increase waterproof/breathable protection.
Advanced technologies set Arc’teryx footwear apart. The seamless one piece upper is an immediately visible example. The construction is thermolaminated. There are no seams, just a single, unified piece. Made from a PU coated nylon textile, the upper maintains air permeability and is hydrophobic for fast drying. The simplicity and elegance of this precision process is clean and technical, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface that’s lighter in weight, exceptionally abrasion resistant, and not subject to failure at seams.
