Kangri

Boreal have been manufacturing leather mountain boots for 40 years and nothing rivals premium quality leather for long term reliability. By combining a durable leather upper with a lightweight modern sole unit Kangri gives you the best of both; a synergy of traditional craftsmanship and new technology. Generously insulated with a triple Thinsulate™ lining Kangri is warmer than other single layer boots and is the favoured choice of many mountain professionals. A perfect choice for ice/mixed climbing, general alpinism and also warm enough for lower peaks in the greater ranges.

Our innovative Bi-Flex system allows the ankle to move freely greatly enhancing walking comfort and freedom of movement when climbing. The wrap-over tab adds security to the closure, keeps your laces neatly tucked away and protects your waterproof trousers from being damaged by the lace hooks and a three-layer tongue provides plenty of padding against pressure points and adds some useful adjustment. Boreal’s unique Dry-Line® waterproof breathable lining guarantees to keep your feet dry and has superior water vapour transmission performance. 

Kangri is fully compatible with automatic crampons and uses dual density crampon lugs, hard at the rear for a secure fit and soft at the front for reducing vibration when front pointing on bullet hard ice. The advanced carbon composite midsole is rigid, yet incredibly lightweight and ample underfoot cushioning is provided by dual density shock absorbing PU and EVA layers. Finally, our choice of a deeply lugged Vibram® Teton outsole will help keep you upright on the approach.
