HI-TEC launches new lightweight hiking boot

HI-TEC, the leading British sport and outdoor brand, is proud to announce the launch of the new V-Lite Rapidtrail Ultra WPi. The new, lightweight hiking boot features the latest in walking technology including the exclusive V-Lite design and build plus the revolutionary ion-mask water management technology from P2i Ltd.

The waterproof suede and fabric lightweight boot has been designed to ensure walkers have ultimate comfort on any terrain and whatever the weather. The V-Lite Rapidtrail Ultra WPi boot has been reinforced with a moulded rubber toecap and mudguards and the exclusively designed Vibram rubber outsole.

HI-TEC, established in 1974, develops all hiking boots to the highest possible standards and is committed to delivering the latest in performance and protection. Groundbreaking technologies such as the HI-TEC V-Lite design and build philosophy and the revolutionary ion-mask™ water management systems have been specifically engineered to meet customer’s needs.

ion-mask technology, is one of the key technologies involved in the Rapid Trail Ultra WPi’s make-up and is a breakthrough in water management and surface enhancement. It works at a molecular level, binding invisibly to the surface of boots, giving them an extraordinary ability to repel most liquids, rendering them hydrophobic, without affecting the look or feel of the walking shoe.

The V-Lite concept built into the boot makes it one of the most lightweight boots on the market. The creative combination of innovative materials and build construction is what generates the super lightweight characteristics of the boot, without compromising performance or comfort.

With the exclusively designed Vibram rubber outsole, ion-mask technology and V-Lite build and design the V-Lite Rapidtrail Ultra WPi is an ideal, highly specified lightweight hiking boot.
