AKU KS Schwer 19 GTX N Brown – Cold-Season Mountain Boots

Overall Description

The AKU KS Schwer 19 GTX N Brown is built for armed forces, making it ideal for mountain combat and patrol scenarios in cold, wet weather. A water-repellent, tear-resistant Perwanger® split suede 2.6 mm upper with minimal seams keeps weight low yet durability high. Comfort is ensured by a padded collar, solid ankle support and an adjustable lacing system—perfect for everyday wear, rucking and long mountain marches with heavy loads. A GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort lining keeps the boot breathable, waterproof and windproof, while the Vibram® Fourà outsole maintains grip in adverse, slippery conditions so you stay dry, warm and stable.
