LACROSSE FOOTWEAR DEBUTS OPTIFADE HUNTING BOOTS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Portland, Ore. - Fall 2017 marks the first hunting season whitetail and waterfowl hunters alike will have an option to outfit head-to-toe in GORE™ OPTIFADE™ concealment systems. LaCrosse Footwear is proud to partner with Sitka Gear to introduce the first rubber hunting boots in GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Elevated II and Waterfowl Marsh patterns.
Both patterns will be available in the LaCrosse Alphaburly Pro model -? the brand’s classic, premium hunting boot. Built with natural, hand-?laid rubber over insulating neoprene, the Alphaburly Pro combines durable comfort and scent-?free protection. An embossed neoprene liner increases air circulation to better regulate foot temperature in cold or heat, making the boot ideal for a variety of seasons and end uses. Featuring a cushioning EVA midsole and unique outsole pattern, designed to shed mud and debris, the Alphaburly Pro is built for long-?wear comfort.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Sitka to offer hunters a new camouflage option in rubber boots,” says Chris Currah, Product Line Manager for LaCrosse Hunt. “Whether chasing whitetail or calling in waterfowl, the Alphaburly Pro featuring GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Elevated II and Marsh patterns offer complete concealment on the stand or in the field.”
GORE™ OPTIFADE™ is the first concealment system designed around the science of animal vision, rather than human eyesight. Unlike camouflage that incorporates sticks and leaves, GORE™ OPTIFADE ™ prevents prey from recognizing you as a predator, even if detected, making you “nothing” in their eyes.
The Alphaburly Pro GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Elevated II will feature a non-?insulated and 800G Thinsulate™ Ultra Insulation version. The Alphaburly Pro GORE™ OPTIFADE™ Waterfowl Marsh will be available in 1600G Thinsulate™ Ultra Insulation. MSRP ranges from $169.95-?$199.95. Both patterns are available July 1, 2017 at lacrossefootwear.com and select retailers.
