northwave X CELSIUS ARCTIC GTX MTB Trekking Winter Shoes

The MTB and trekking winter shoes X CELSIUS ARCTIC GTX by northwave impress with outstanding water and wind resistance, excellent breathability as well as comfort and warmth on cold winter days thanks to their GORE-TEX KOALA membrane.
An insulating insole, reinforced lining in the toe area and the soft EASYFIT CLIMAFLEX cuff round off the weather protection and comfort properties of these bike shoes.
The X CELSIUS ARCTIC GTX winter shoes are great all-rounders and just as suitable as All-Mountain MTB shoes as they are for e-biking or commuting.

ARCTIC 4LAYER:
Insole with EVA + Aluminium and EVA + Pile for optimal insulation.

EASYFIT CLIMAFLEX:
This collar is made from soft, insulating neoprene and a highly elastic membrane and feels like a sock. Therefore, it offers very good mobility and extensive weather protection. Zero overlap and no Velcro straps, so that foot and ankle can move freely.

EXPLORER MICHELIN SOLE:
This sole was developed by northwave in cooperation with MICHELIN with the aim to combine XC performance with best walkability on any ground. The midsole offers just the right level of stiffness for best power transfer to the pedal, while the more flexible Medial Zone ensures excellent walkability. The tread inspired by MICHELIN and the outer shell are 100% made of MICHELIN rubber, which is more abrasion-resistant than TPU und ensures the best grip in any weather. Sole stiffness index: 8.0

GORE-TEX:
The core of all GORE-TEX textiles is an extremely thin, permanently waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. It has over 1.4 billion micropores per square centimetre. The pores of the GORE-TEX membrane are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapour. This allows sweat to escape unhindered. The volume of air that passes through one square metre of fabric in one second not more than 5.0 l/m²sec – which makes the membrane truly windproof. The microscopically small pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than water droplets. Thus, the GORE-TEX membrane is absolutely waterproof.

GORE-TEX KOALA:
When temperatures drop to the point where only the toughest people are out and about, that's when the GORE-TEX KOALA membrane comes into its own. Its insulating fibres provide an optimal barrier against the cold, making it suitable for challenging winter conditions. It provides excellent protection against rain and snow, but is also highly breathable and wind-repellent. In addition, the outer fabric is easy to clean, e.g. after muddy rides.

GORE-TEX RATTLER:
The core of all GORE-TEX textiles is an extremely thin, permanently waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. It has over 1.4 billion micropores per square centimetre. The pores of the GORE-TEX membrane are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapour. This allows sweat to escape unhindered. The volume of air that passes through one square metre of fabric in one second not more than 5.0 l/m²sec – which makes the membrane truly windproof. The microscopically small pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than water droplets. Thus, the GORE-TEX membrane is absolutely waterproof.
The GORE-TEX RATTLER membrane comes with a robust nylon-Lycra outer fabric for high durability.

SLW3 SYSTEM CLOSURE:
The speed lace system closure on the shoes provides perfect support and optimal fit for your feet, is functional and fast to use: Simply open and close the shoes with a flick of the wrist. A large dial allows for precise tensioning of the wires. The shoes can be fully opened at once or step by step.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
