HOW BAFFIN DEVELOPS
BOOTS THAT ARE POLAR PROVEN
Over a decade ago Baffin started out by
revolutionizing the waterproof boot market
as one of the first companies to use injection
moulding of easily recyclable synthetic
polymers in place of traditional vulcanized
rubber. More than a decade of constant
R&D and in-field testing has led Baffin to
produce leading edge, technical footwear.
THE SOLE OF A BAFFIN BOOT
Every aspect of a Baffin outsole has been meticulously thought out and developed to be the most functional possible. From the tread
patterns, designed for maximum grip in their specific applications, to the materials used to strike the perfect balance between traction,
flexibility, light weight and durability, the construction of the contact point between a Baffin boot and the terrain is second to none.
In addition, Baffin has three new series incorporating Baffin’s Icepaw technology.
THE BAFFIN INNER BOOT SYSTEM IS UNIQUE
Our multi-layer inner boot system creates a warm boot because body moisture is wicked away. A Hydromax II layer, similar to the
material used in babies’ diapers, combined with a B-Tek four channel hollow fibre layer acts as a moisture control system keeping the
foam dry and funneling water vapour out of the boot as opposed to felt packs used in other boots that compress over time and retain
water. We’ve upgraded our innermost layer to an improved ‘Thermaplush’. It’s a chamois leather-like material that feels remarkably
soft and smooth. A vaporized aluminum membrane has a silver surface which reflects energy back towards the foot. In our boots that
are rated for very low temperatures, we use two of these.
UPPERS TAILORED FOR PERFORMANCE AND ELEGANCE
We use a wide range of materials for uppers depending on the functionality as required. For the Conviction series we use Timberwolf,
a fullgrain leather enhanced with silicone to replace some of its natural oils. On the PowerSport series, preferred by snowmobilers
and ATVers, we use extra-strong carbon fiber leathers to help protect the ankle, calf and shin from impact and penetration injuries.
FASTENING SYSTEMS FOR FUNCTION AND CONVENIENCE
Unlike footwear for average settings, in polar regions and under harsh conditions it is essential that boots can be taken on and off
easily with gloved hands. All our buckles are made exclusively for Baffin out of the best cold crack resistant materials available. Our
boots can be secured with either a single or double buckle. For the Pivot boot, in the Powersport series, the innovative Boa wiring
system as placed on the back of the boot - is out of the way and easy to adjust on the fly.
