Imagine a lightweight, highly durable footwear upper material with very low water absorption. Meet EXTRAGUARD<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I first became aware of the EXTRAGUARD material at Enforce Tac and was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of boots featuring this new footwear technology from GORE-TEX Military Fabrics at AUSA. I immediately considered it for hot, wet aka jungle boots, but it looks like a couple of European brands are creating new temperate models.<\/p>\n EXTRAGUARD isn\u2019t a membrane like you\u2019d expect from WL Gore & Co. Instead, it\u2019s a stand alone material that looks like leather. It is sealed with GORE Seam Tape and may be used in conjunction with a GORE-TEX lining (inner bootie construction) for additional environmental protection.<\/p>\n Its durability and low water absorption means it doesn\u2019t wrinkle, crease, warp, or fade. It\u2019s also 40% lighter than leather and has low conductive heat loss when wet. It also dries faster than leather and doesn\u2019t look worn out once it\u2019s dry.<\/p>\n
