NAVITAS LITE Insulated Boots

Product Information

ROT RESISTANT – ever had a pair of boots or waders start leaking? I guarantee it’s not a cut or a tear, in fact it is likely to be because the seam or the sealant had rotted away. So, what did we do about it? Well we can’t give away the technology or material, but the Navitas Lite Insulated boots are resistant against sea water, oil, acid and alkali. In a nutshell, they are not going to leak anytime soon! The important things to remember when you’re browsing for a new pair of fishing shoes or boots are; material, traction and comfort. As anglers ourselves, we also know that they type of fishing you enjoy will also impact your style of fishing shoes. Innovative designs for fishing shoes utilise modern technologies and develop smart materials to ensure you’re not slipping all over the place. If you’re an up and at em’ carper who’s always traipsing around the lake in search of fish, then weight will be a big consideration for you. We’re in a funny old sport where it’s actually beneficial to have a pair of boots that are easy to slip on. The last thing you want when you get a take is to be tying laces all the way up your ankles!

You can put your money on them lasting a fair while too! With the outsole featuring an aggressive tread that is bound to last a long time. Heat preservation: Microscopic closed cell EVA provides excellent heat insulation, anti-cold, non-frosting and insulation capabilities down to -30°C. Speero have paid special attention to the soles on these boots, which as you can see provide ample grip. – Great for walking up and down slippery banks or uneven ground. So, what Navitas have done is to use materials and insulation that virtually cuts out heat loss in cold weather. Result = warmer feet in the winter.Except that isn’t true, they are better, way better and the best bit is…… actually I’ll save that for the end.

However, if something like a bit of a cold snap is not going to put you off as a die hard fishing fan, then we know that you will at least want to be sure that you are adequately equipped to be comfortable whilst out there doing what you love!
