GRISPORT TECHNOLOGIES

GRITEX® is a waterproof resistant membrane designed to be used as a one-piece lining, which helps avoid seams and potential weak points where water could penetrate. This membrane is particularly effective for the majority of uses, as it provides not only protection against water but also warmth due to the foam integrated into the lining.

However, it's important to note that the upper (the top part of the shoe) does not cover the shoe entirely, stopping approximately 1/3 of an inch inside. This means there is always a possibility of water infiltration through the sole, especially in very wet environments. For users who frequently operate in wet conditions, it is recommended to look for a product specifically designed to be fully waterproof.

In summary, GRITEX® is ideal for general use, offering warmth and protection, but for environments that are consistently wet, careful attention should be given when choosing footwear.

Spo-Tex® is an innovative waterproof lining designed to keep rain and snow out while allowing perspiration to escape. This technology features thousands of tiny micropores that ensure your feet remain warm and dry, regardless of how cold and wet the conditions are outside.

The unique construction of Spo-Tex® fabrics is such that they are knitted tightly enough to prevent water molecules from penetrating, while still allowing heat generated by your feet to escape. This balance of waterproofing and breathability provides exceptional comfort, making Spo-Tex® an ideal choice for outdoor footwear.

In summary, Spo-Tex® offers reliable protection against the elements while maintaining breathability, ensuring that your feet stay comfortable and dry in various weather conditions.

Sympatex® is a cutting-edge non-porous membrane that is seamlessly stitched between the outer material (such as leather or fabric) and the lining of footwear. This innovative design ensures that the fabric is knitted tightly enough to prevent water molecules from penetrating, making it 100% waterproof.

One of the key features of Sympatex® is its remarkable stretchability, allowing it to expand up to 300% in any direction without losing its structural integrity. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also ensures exceptional breathability, enabling heat generated by your feet to escape while keeping moisture out.

Sympatex® is widely recognized for its performance in waterproof products, providing reliable protection against the elements. Its unique combination of waterproofing, breathability, and flexibility makes it an excellent choice for footwear designed to withstand various weather conditions while ensuring comfort.

CORDURA® performance fabric is an essential material used in all high-quality trekking boots and shoes. Developed by DuPont, this fabric is renowned for its outstanding durability and exceptional resistance to tearing and puncturing, making it ideal for demanding outdoor activities.

CORDURA® is specifically designed for areas that experience high levels of friction, offering one of the most resistant fabrics available against wear and tear. Its robust nature ensures that your footwear can withstand the rigors of trekking and adventure, providing years of reliable performance and enjoyment.

In summary, CORDURA® is a superior choice for trekking footwear, delivering durability and resistance that meet the challenges of outdoor environments.

The material used in our footwear comes from the skin of animals, specifically high-quality leather. One of the primary advantages of this natural material is its breathability, which allows for better moisture management and comfort. Additionally, leather has the unique ability to gradually mold to the shape of your foot, providing a customized fit over time.

The upper part of the shoe, often referred to as the top, is typically made from tough and durable materials like leather or lighter alternatives such as suede. At Grisport, we prioritize the use of the best leather available globally, as selecting high-quality leather is crucial for ensuring breathability, performance, and exceptional comfort.

Our leather is rigorously tested to provide maximum waterproof protection, with thicknesses ranging between 2 mm and 2.2 mm. This careful selection and testing process guarantees that our footwear not only meets performance standards but also offers durability and longevity for outdoor enthusiasts.

When it comes to outdoor gear and clothing, the terms waterproof and water-resistant are often used, but they refer to different levels of protection against moisture.

Waterproof items are designed to be completely impervious to water. This means that no water can penetrate the material, even under heavy rain or when submerged. Waterproof products typically undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand significant water exposure without allowing moisture to seep through. This makes them ideal for extreme weather conditions or activities where you might encounter heavy rain or water immersion.

On the other hand, water-resistant items are designed to repel water to a certain extent but are not completely impervious. They can withstand light rain or splashes, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy downpours may lead to moisture penetration. Water-resistant materials often provide a level of breathability, which can be beneficial for activities where sweat needs to escape while still offering some protection against light moisture.
