Icon Stormhawk boots in grey

The upper of the Icon Stormhawk boot is fashioned from a waterproof treated leather. The waterproof membrane itself comes from eVent. It’s a membrane that is highly regarded in the outdoor and mountaineering world. There are reinforcements in the toe and heel for extra protection. The ankles have D3O pads in them. There are nibs for the gear change, and you get a rubber overlay at the end of the toe. You get a small reflector on the heel. The sole is pretty rugged. There’s a padded shaft for comfort, and you get a couple of loop pulls to help you get the boot on. The USP, though, is the easy-to-use BOA lacing system. It’s simply brilliant. It allows the boot to open up incredibly wide, and makes getting in and out really fast.

The Stormhawk is a very impressive boot. It is superbly comfortable. It’s clearly very protective. Nobody is going to be disappointed by it.
