High-altitude mountaineering on snow, ice, and mixed terrain is considered the ultimate mountain challenge. The Ortles Light Mid Powertex is the ideal solution for modern mountaineers who want to move quickly in all conditions. This lightweight, comfortable, technical, and functional mid-cut boot can be used in a wide range of conditions, terrains, and activities, from technical, rocky trails to more challenging routes on snow and ice, such as in the high Dolomites. The Pomoca Alpine Light sole ensures greater grip and traction on a wide variety of terrain, while the shock-absorbing EVA midsole offers additional comfort during high-speed activities. The Ankle Protector System cradles the foot, providing stability and protection from rocks and stones. The new Salewa Edging Plate 2 technology combines rigidity and stability on ascents, comfort when hiking, heel stability, and crampon compatibility for greater support on mountain trails. Our exclusive 3F System technology increases support and stability in the heel area, while the Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) and 3D lacing allow for a customizable fit for optimal comfort. The upper is reinforced with durable nylon fabric, seams, and protective, abrasion-resistant TPU membranes with a rubber toe cap. During activity, the elastic gaiter keeps out rocks and mud on the trail. This waterproof boot features a PFC-free Powertex membrane, laces made from recycled materials, and other recycled elements to reduce environmental impact. It is the first Salewa Committed mountaineering boot. The Ortles Light Mid Powertex is our lightest technical mountaineering boot, designed for fast movement.
