Aequilibrium Hike GTX Carbon/Yellow | 45

Wet feet and unstable footing can turn a promising mountain day into a miserable slog. The Aequilibrium Hike GTX tackles both with a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and a Vibram® outsole that bites into loose terrain, so you stay dry and sure-footed from trailhead to summit.

Who is it for

Built for fast hikers and light backpackers who move quickly over mixed terrain. The high-cut design and 3D Flex System Evo™ give ankle support without stiffness, making it ideal for day hikes and multi-day treks with a light pack.

Main features

• GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining: durably waterproof and breathable, keeps feet dry in rain and stream crossings.
• Vibram® SpringLug Tech outsole with Impact Brake System: aggressive 3.5 mm lugs and a special tread pattern improve grip on ascents and descents.
• 3D Flex System Evo™ ankle support: a hinged cuff that follows the ankle's natural movement, reducing fatigue on long approaches.
• Ortholite® Hybrid Mountain footbed: long-lasting cushioning with 5% recycled rubber content, providing comfort and support.
