The Protector Forest by HAIX is a comfortable cut protection boot which forms an essential part of the workwear of any forest ranger or hunter.
Its waterproof and weather-resistant rubber Vibram sole is ideally suited to mountainous terrain and has been specially developed in conjunction with the tyre manufacturer Pirelli to be dirt repellent and slip resistant and to provide you with a firm grip on uneven ground. The Protector Forest features an extra wide and high toe cap to protect your feet against falling objects such as branches. A two-zone lacing system enables the foot and calf areas of the boot to be adjusted to different tightnesses. This provides a perfect fit and comfort throughout the day.
Safety when in the forest or out hunting
The Protector Forest offers you safety when you are tree felling and need specialist equipment. It has been awarded the “KWF PROFI” seal of quality by the German Forestry Advisory Board to indicate that it fulfils all the prerequisites in this regard. In fact, the Protector Forest offers class 2 cut protection. This means that it is constructed in a material which is stable enough to withstand cuts from a a chainsaw operating at a speed of up to 24 m/s.
Comfort of wear throughout the year
Waterproof GORE-TEX® material prevents any moisture penetration. Your feet will remain dry and warm, even in snowy and rainy conditions. In summer, an antibacterial insole absorbs sweat to keep your feet cool during the most strenuous of activities. A separate heel cup provides stability and helps prevent malpositions of the foot. A so-called impact-absorbing PU wedge is integrated into the sole. This makes the Protector Forest an extremely light boot and will also cushion your steps as you move along to reduce pressure on the joints and spine.
