Why We
Made This...
TO BE THE ULTIMATE LIGHTWEIGHT MOUNTAINEERING AND ICE CLIMBING BOOT
The Women's Aurai DFS GTX offers maximum protection and warmth for technical mountaineering and ice climbing at high altitudes. The Aurai is the synthesis of lightness, precision, protection & comfort, allowing you to tackle the most demanding climbs. The Kevlar upper combined with the over-injected Spider Frame provide the needed resistance to impact and abrasion while retaining comfort and mobility. The Vibram Litebase sole cuts weight by 30% and offers stability, grip, and precision even on the most technical terrain. The Aurai is fully crampon compatible for technical mixed routes and glacial travel.
Don't miss a step with the exclusive AKU Dual Fit System (DFS) technology. Simply tighten the second set of speed laces to go from hiking to climbing.
