Meindl USA has launched a line of high-performance boots with its Alpine Series, featuring the brand’s exclusive Air Revolution technology. Designed with attention to detail following Meindl’s 300-year history of precision engineering and crafted in the spirit of Europe’s highest and most extensive mountain range, every component and hand-crafted stitch of the Alpine Series is constructed for serious mountain pursuits.

“With the Alpine Series, we were truly able to blend centuries of knowledge, experience and craftsmanship with world-class technology to create boots that excel from the Bavarian Alps to the Rocky Mountains, and on all the trails in between,” said Phil Francone, founder and president of Meindl USA. Each style in the Alpine Series features Meindl’s exclusive Air Revolution technology highlighted by a dual-layer Air Revolution tongue with air channels that improve ventilation and help regulate internal temperature. When stepping down on the heel, the tongue allows fresh air to flow through the air channels and into the boot. Pushing off the ground then forces warm air out of the boot. This ventilation and comfort is akin to a climate controlling technology. The Alpine Series is also designed with waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex liners that work in conjunction with the Air Revolution technology to maximize moisture control, letting perspiration vapor escape while keeping moisture out. Additional comfort is provided by Meindl’s Air-Active insole which provides a cushioned, moisture-managing footbed that wicks perspiration away from feet while distributing weight to eliminate hotspots and sore points. Three distinct styles will be included in the initial offering of the Alpine Series.
