The UK MOD version is NSN'd and issued in the UK.
Developed from the hugely successful AKU Navy Seal the Pilgrim GTX Combat is completely waterproof with increased breathability and quick drying. EVA foam cushioning offers added impact absorption and the increased ankle height provides stability and support. A brand new sole unit with a deeper tread provides traction on varying terrain.
This GTX model is perfect for any situation that demands total waterproofness and enhanced breathability. With a 3D fully taped Gore-Tex booty lining and Air 8000 uppers the Pilgrim GTX is 30% more breathable than conventional Gore-Tex lined boots.
The Internal Midsole System (IMS) is designed to reduce injury and enhance impact absorption when load carrying over uneven ground. Featuring 3mm of EVA cushioning above the 3D midsole ensuring your foot is directly in contact with cushioning rather than a hard midsole. 5mm EVA forefoot, and 17mm EVA heel cushioning take care of impact forces from the hard ground.
Developed with a new last for improved forefoot width and secure heel grip the Pilgrim GTX is definitely capable of long tours and extended duties. The heavier duty Vibram outsole features deeper lugs for improved grip on a variety of terrain and has a built-in rocker to produce a stable and progressive walking platform.
A hugely capable boot designed for the purpose and with the addition of the Pilgrim DS to the range you can be assured of a consistent fit whatever the conditions demand.
INTERNAL MIDSOLE SYSTEM (IMS)
IMS is designed to reduce the risk of injury and increase stability when load carrying.
IMS uses an anatomically shaped 3D midsole that mimics the natural foot shape. This allows for better support and comfort during long periods of wear.
AIR 8000
A high wicking lining fabric is laminated to the tough 3D woven nylon face fabric using a net glue. Traditional manufacturing uses a complete layer of glue to stick the lining to the outer greatly reducing breathability. Net glue uses small blobs of glue in a matrix, full of holes like a net, to ensure maximum breathability and structural integrity.
The face fabric is a tough 3D woven nylon. Constructed with a raised and increased surface area providing far greater abrasion resistance.
The combination of these technologies allows the Pilgrim DS to breathe 11 times better than any of its competitors, and the Pilgrim GTX to have 30% more breathability than conventional Gore-Tex lined boots.
VIBRAM SOLE
Pilgrim uses a Vibram sole which was selected for its more stable platform, deep self-cleaning lugs and positive heel brake for increased traction when descending.
