Garmont 9.81 Onyx GTX heren fast hikingschoenen - Raven Black/Firecracker Orange (EU 42.5)

Fast hiking and trail running shoes built for dynamic mountain movement, the Garmont 9.81 Onyx GTX deliver waterproof, breathable performance with a Vibram® Megagrip outsole that grips confidently on wet rock and loose terrain. The GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining keeps feet dry through rain and stream crossings while allowing heat to escape during high-output climbs.

Advantages

Seamless mesh and PU upper reduces hot spots and weight, while the TPU toe cap shields against trail debris. The Ortholite® UltraLite™ footbed adds springy cushioning without bulk, and the EVA midsole with G-Frame™ technology stabilizes the foot on uneven ground. An 8 mm drop and moderate stack heights (24 mm heel / 16 mm forefoot) balance ground feel with protection for long days.

• Fast hiking and speed trekking on technical trails
