MOTIVATION FROM THE JURY
Continuous improvements make the Constrictor III Boa from Viking one of the greatest winter boots out there. One of the highlights is the insole of Primaloft Aerogel, a material developed for Nasa Space suits that insulates better than foams normally used. While snowshoeing it felt very comfortable and kept the feet toasty warm.
PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES
The upper is made in PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation, best-in-class insulation designed for repeated compression and durability over time. Featuring 90% post-consumer recycled fibers made from plastic bottles. This keeps the wearer 38% warmer in dry conditions and 2X warmer when wet than competitive insulation. Insole in PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Aerogel shines when faced with the pressure caused by active hands and feet, retaining 98% of its original thermal performance. When used in combination with PrimaLoft® Insulation products, an optimal balance of weather protection and heat retention provides comfort ideal for the mountain.
