Trango Cube Gore Tex, a technical boot for mountaineering and climbing, which captured the attention of the entire jury of the Industry Design Awards. It was the winner of the prestigious Outdoor Industry Award, an annual prize given to the most innovative product launched in the outdoor sector.

The panel of experts defined the model as a unique new entry to the market, thanks to the seamless internal construction method which promotes a clean and defined look. This is achieved by the application of a special thermo plastic covering and thermo sealing (Thermo Tech injection technology) through which the lacing hooks are also inserted.

This particular construction method reduces volumes to a minimum, obtaining an incredible lightweight of 675g per half pair, along with the exclusive reduced layered sole – La Sportiva “Cube” – made in collaboration with Vibram. The thermo plastic material of Trango Cube GTX makes the product exceptionally waterproof. The inners are also climatically controlled. These features are further enhanced and guaranteed by the use of Gore Tex Performance Comfort membrane. Trango Cube was indeed classified as being well “ahead of the times” in terms of design too. Available Spring 2014.
