Since the birth of riding waves, surfers have been in the business of modifying their equipment to better address the demands of their environment. The right board for the wave. Different waxes based on water temperature. Thick neoprene suits to insulate from the cold. Four-wheel drive vehicles customized for camping and holding boards. The list goes on.

The UltraRange EXO Hi GORE-TEX MTE-2 is the continuation of this purpose-built, adventure-based mindset. Not only is this shoe modified to stand up to the journey, but it will keep you comfortable in the most uncomfortable of situations-after all, great surf doesn’t always mean great weather. Armed with the UltraRange EXO outsole featuring All-Trac™ all-weather rubber, a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproof membrane, the zonal PrimaLoft® Insulation package, and an UltraCush™ EVA midsole, this shoe is ready to stand in the rain, romp through the mud, and wade through the snow. . . so that nothing stands between you and your next great session. It is made with water repellent suede, textile, and synthetic uppers.

3M THINSULATE

The extremely fine microfibers in Thinsulate help to trap air and block body radiant heat loss, making for an incredibly efficient insulation while still allowing internal moisture to escape. A high warmth-tothickness ratio also enables reduced bulk and advanced freedom of movement. In other words, Thinsulate material traps more air in less space, giving your foot more room to breathe.

PRIMALOFT

Originally developed for the U.S. Army, their high-quality microfiber thermal insulation systems mimic the warmth-providing properties of down, and have become synonymous with cold weather comfort. PrimaLoft fabric has millions of air pockets that actually trap and preserve body heat, and also contain fibers that are treated so that they don’t retain water.
