Description

Don’t sweat the tough stuff. Push your limits with the help of KEEN.DRY, a waterproof, breathable membrane that lets vapor out without letting water in. Tanning leather is a dirty process. Traditional tanneries use a ton of water and leave a lot of chemicals after the fact. So we source our leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group. They use a closed-loop system that reduces water use and energy use—and completely eliminates wastewater pollution. PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals) are used everywhere in the outdoor industry. They create a dense coating on fabrics; water beads up instead of soaking in. They’re durable, and they do a good job. However, they’re also suspected carcinogens and break down very slowly. So we switched to nontoxic, alternatives that are just as effective, yet safe. Today we are over 95% PFC-free. WATERPROOF HIKER: Protected by KEEN. DRY waterproof, breathable membrane; Made with waterproof Nubuck leather upper and breathable mesh lining
