Key features of the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 Woman GTX

• GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort membrane: Provides lasting waterproofness and high breathability without intentionally added PFAS chemicals, keeping your feet dry.
• FriXion White outsole: An exceptionally grippy rubber compound offers excellent traction on steep slopes, while the 4,5 mm-deep lugs provide stability.
• Impact Brake System: The innovative lug arrangement absorbs impact on contact with the ground and improves braking on steep descents.
• EVA foam midsole: Compact foam in the heel maximises support, while the softer forefoot cushions your stride on long hikes.
• Integrated gaiter: The specially designed boot collar prevents stones, sand and other debris from getting in when walking over scree.

Performance in use

On technical climbs, the FriXion White outsole and rubber toe protection make it possible to tackle rocky steps and roots securely without slipping.

With an 8 mm drop and an EVA foam midsole, the boots reduce leg fatigue on all-day hikes, while the GORE-TEX membrane effectively wicks away sweat and protects against sudden showers.

On fast descents over scree, the Impact Brake System technology and TPU heel stabiliser provide controlled braking, while the integrated gaiter keeps small stones out of the boots.
