And when you’re dealing with cold and wet weather across all types of terrain, they can’t be beaten. On the bike they give awesome pedal grip and off the bike, they offer secure footing as you scramble over rocks, roots and mud.Warmth Stays in. Rain Stays out.Protection from the rain and cold starts with the use of a Gore-Tex® Duratherm® membrane. This sees a waterproof and breathable membrane laminated to a layer of hollow-fibre insulation. While warmth is retained, rain is kept out. At the ankle, a stretchy Gore-Tex Rattler® collar also provides reliable rain protection, while not hindering your smooth pedalling.Moving to the inside, warmth is further enhanced via an insulated mid-sole. A reflective aluminium core is sandwiched between the sole and upper, creating a barrier against the cold. The anatomic design of the insole, with support in the tarsal area, also adds comfort for cycling.BOA IP-1 Dial ClosureTo give you a quick and easy adjustment of your boots, even with gloved hands, the Icestorm’s use a single BOA IP-12 dial. A simple turn forward increases pressure and a turn back loosens it off. You can adjust on the fly, giving a custom fit for varying training efforts, climbs and changes in the weather.Vibram All-Terrain SoleOffering excellent versatility, the Icestrom boots use a Vibram sole to offer grip both on and off the bike.
