GTX is an abbreviation frequently applied at LOWA that some customers may use in a store when asking for “LOWA GTX”. But just what do these three letters mean, and what do they have to do with shoes? The answer is quite simple: The abbreviation stands for the brand GORE-TEX.

Built for support on uneven ground, Terrex shoes for hiking and trail running feature upper materials like mesh and Primeknit for a sock-like fit.

Those moments when the adventure slows, when the sun sets or the wind drops, benefit from jackets this comfortable and this warm. At 484g it is light, but not microlight – the perfect balance of warmth and weight.
