Baffin’s Cloud, a new women’s winter boot, is an addition to the Canadian brand’s Ease Collection. Recommended during moderate to high levels of activity, Cloud features Baffin’s proprietary slip-resistant IceBite Grip technology for “greater slip resistance on ice than rubber.”
A featherlight winter boot, Cloud features a tall, breathable nylon shell paired with drawstrings at the ankle and the top of the boot with locking toggles for an improved fit. The nylon upper is cinched throughout, forming a puffer-inspired silhouette, and is available in three colorways—Stormy, Coastal Grey and Black.
“Cloud takes inspiration from our Hybrid Slipper Campfire, which features a cinched nylon upper reminiscent of the puffer style that has become increasingly popular in both outerwear and footwear,” said Jessica Liut, director of Brand at Baffin. “By increasing the height of the upper and adding the Ease Collections base, we’ve created a more comprehensive outdoor product that is both on-trend and reliable in the elements.”
With a Polar Rubber heel and forefoot for “maximized grip and durability” and LiteGrip Blend and Hex-Flex outsole design for lightweight cushioning, grip and slip resistance, Cloud “provides the confidence and security needed in cold-climate footwear.”
Cloud features Baffin’s Fixed-Fit multi-layer inner boot system with proprietary technology, including a Thermaplush wicking layer for warmth, form-fitting B-Tek Foam lining for comfort and B-Tek Heat lightweight, 4-channel hollow-fiber insulation for high-loft breathability in a broad range of temperatures.
“Proven by Baffin at latitudes and altitudes during Canadian winters, Cloud is Real-World Tested (RWT)* Tundra Rated. Designed for experiencing snow-covered environments and made to withstand harsh environments, including hardy winds and serious cold, Cloud thrives where uneven terrain and diverse conditions are endured. From plunging temperatures to deep snowfalls, Cloud provides comfort for those experiencing the coldest season, no matter the hemisphere.”
Cloud is classified as B-Tek Dry Waterproof Breathable, a “powerful waterproof technology offering high wet protection with increased breathability.” This category of advanced waterproofing is “intentionally breathable for outdoor activity, where elements such as rain and melting snow are present and welcome.” Cloud is waterproof from the base to the collar and protects from wetness while supporting comfortable movement.
