The Tibet GTX is a favourite amongst serious mountain adventurers and hunters operating on rugged terrain due to its crampon capability and rugged randing to protect against scree and its 3-4 season performance. Features include a waterproof/breathable GORE-TEX® membrane for dry comfort, I-Lock with ball bearing lacing system for easy, secure lacing a special balance insole that wicks moisture , eliminates pressure point, minimises friction and reduces fatigue and a Vibram® Masai outsole for traction and cushion on uneven, rocky terrain. Ideal for carrying heavy loads over long distance in extreme weather conditions.

Features

Nubuck leather upper 2.4-2.6mm
High wall rubber rand provides added protection and durability
Waterproof/breathable GORE-TEX® lining fully lasted to reduce bunching thus providing a smooth fit, eliminating hotspots
FlexFit Synchro allows for more natural and easy forward ankle flex and good heel fit with improved stability
C4 tongue has a patented anatomical construction to cradle the foot in comfort and especially over the instep
Tongue stud and X-lacing allows for better pressure distribution and a centred tongue
I-Lock locking cam lacing system for ease of lacing differentially
Ball bearing lace system for easy lace up and tension
Balanced insole, with a breathable top layer, and slow reacting foam, delivers instant customisation to your foot. This proprietary insole transports moisture away from the foot, eliminates pressure points, minimises friction between foot and insole and reduces fatigue
Climate control system: a series of perforations or holes in the boot's cuff allows air to enter the boot whilst walking movement "pumps" heat and moisture back out through the holes along with the thermal gradient which moves moisture through the GORE-TEX® lining and away from your foot
Stiff Flex 5mm nylon stabiliser, full length and width with a PU layer for total support underfoot
PU with SPS Dynamic TPU elements midsole is designed to help control over-pronation and supination, reducing fatigue and potential injury when covering long distances through encouraging correct gait (see image in gallery)
Vibram® Masai for traction, cushioning and support underfoot on uneven, rocky terrain
Suits strap on crampons
230mm tall

Technologies	I-Lock is a patented LOWA design where a simple cam lace loop is placed at the top of the foot. It grabs the lace and holds it tight so your foot can be firmly held and supported while allowing for flexible shaft lacing. Pushing the hook clip upwards easily releases the clamping to loosen the instep lacing.
Care	LOWA's guide to cleaning your boots: Prepare by removing the insole to allow it to air and dry and remove the laces to allow you to reach tucked away corners Remove the dirt from your boots with a brush under lukewarm running water. For heavily soiled boots use specialist footwear cleaning products or soap suds. Increase the leather's water resistance: Cleaned boots are in an "open-pored" state and will soak up water. In order to "close" the leather again, an impregnating spray should first be used when they are still damp. Please note that proofing will only be fully effective 24 hours after application. Maintain the leather's natural softness: Once your boots have been water-proofed they should also regularly have a water-based cream rubbed or polished into them (with a brush), especially when they have had a soaking. TIP… Apply more in the forefoot / flex zone area (it's like a hinge) and brush away any excess. Do this immediately following waterproofing. Leather that has not been treated in this way dries out, becomes brittle and cracks, leaving your footwear irreparably damaged. To prevent this happening, apply your leather care product using a cloth and then polish it off with a brush. By carefully warming the leather with a hair dryer, the care product will be absorbed even deeper into the leather. LOWA do not advise the use of oils or greases. Although they leave the leather very soft and almost waterproof, they reduce the stiffness and therefore the stability of the footwear. Furthermore, oils and greases also clog the leather pores, thereby preventing the leather from breathing (rubber boot effect). In the worst case scenario they can even dissolve the adhesives used in the footwear. DO NOT use care products containing: beeswax, animal fats and petroleum oils e.g. Dubbin, Neatsfoot Oil, Mink Oil and Sno-Seal, etc. Give your boots ample time to dry: Never place boots to dry on a radiator, too near to a fireplace or oven, inside a car or in the trunk of your car. They should also not be left on the back step in direct sunlight; the ambient temperature which develops can be as bad as a heater or open fire and the UV perishes the randing. Store your boots in a dry, well-aired place. Never store wet boots in damp rooms or the car as they will get mouldy.
