S.L.W.2 Closure System

The S.L.W.2 (Speed Lace Winch) micrometric system represents the evolution of closure technology. It offers maximum precision and adjustability. The innovative step-by-step release allows you to tighten or loosen the fit in seconds.
The side button has a dual function: pressing it gives a micrometric release, while lifting it provides a full and immediate opening of the shoe.
Lighter and thinner than before, the redesigned dial now features a soft-touch coating for a more effective grip.
The ergonomic base of the S.L.W.2 mechanism follows the anatomy of the foot for enhanced comfort. The system is easily replaceable, and the cables are made using advanced technologies derived from the sailing industry.

Gore-Tex®

Gore-Tex® fabrics provide long-lasting, comfortable protection against the elements. The technology is based on an extremely thin expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane.
Its pores are too small for rain to pass through but large enough to allow sweat to escape.
Gore-Tex® products offer a high level of waterproofness (water column up to 28,000 mm – more than monsoon rain).
The membrane is laminated between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining, resulting in 2-, 2.5-, or 3-layer laminates.
A 3-layer Gore-Tex® provides maximum durability and breathability, while a 2-layer version offers lightweight weather protection.
