Faster, Further, Lighter: Vasque Breeze LT GTX

posted by gumptiongear March 6, 2019 0 comments

What happens when you take an iconic hiking shoe and make it lighter, smarter and faster? You get the Breeze LT GTX from Vasque. Built off of its predecessors, the new Breeze Lite delivers the lightest, most responsive all-around trail performer to date.

The Legend Continues

The Breeze family of hiking boots is Vasque‘s most prolific style. Since its launch in 2004, the Breeze (and its subsequent iterations) has remained the brand’s best-selling style. Each evolution of the boot has delivered well-balanced, lightweight hiking performance and comfort.

New for Spring 2019, the Breeze LT is engineered for pure, uncompromising trail performance. Designed to be lighter, faster and take you further than before the Breeze Lite cuts weight for faster, more efficient trail miles. And thanks to a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® membrane these kicks are still ready to excel no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.

The secret sauce is a Vasque-exclusive outsole that combines Vibram® Megagrip with Vibram Lightbase technology. VIBRAM® Litebase is a recently developed technology that reduces the thickness of the rubber sole, while maintaining the same wear resistance and traction of other VIBRAM® soles. Litebase mimics mountain bike tire construction which not only results in sure footing across varying surfaces, but offers a staggering 25% reduction in outsole weight.

You can find the new line of Breeze LT GTX shoes on the Vasque website in the near future. But for those eager and anxious to pick up the latest iteration of this iconic line, you can find them at select online retailers. 

In Closing…

The new Breeze LTis engineered for pure, uncompromising trail performance. With a lighter weight for more efficient trail miles, the new Breeze LT GTX is ready for your Spring Hiking adventures and beyond.
