Hi-Tec are extremely proud to join forces with The National Trust to launch a brand new family of walking boots inspired by nature and developed specifically with their environmental impact in mind.

The Altitude Enviro WPi is available in men’s, women’s and junior sizes.
The challenge was to engineer a lightweight, waterproof walking boot that offers unbeatable performance, comfort and true value, along with greater consideration of every ingredient of the boots DNA and its environmental impact. Every element of the product has been considered including the POP and Packaging.

The uppers have been constructed using water-based cements, and manufactured from veg tanned reduced chrome leather uppers, they feature recycled metal steel shanks and a durable recycled content rubber outsole which are  just a few of the earth friendly features that go to make this boot a true environmental step in the right direction.

Hi-Tec hhave also incorporated the revolutionary ion-mask™ hydro management technology, a quantum leap in water management, keeping your feet drier, lighter, cleaner and one of the most climate friendly footwear technologies available.

They are fully supported and endorsed by The National Trust, and are the result of sheer determination to ensure Hi-Tec are not part of the problem but are striving everyday to become part of the solution in preserving our beautiful planet.

The National Trust is a charity dedicated to preserving, protecting and supporting the buildings, countryside and coastline of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. With over 3.7 million members and 55,000 volunteers all working to protect our heritage for future generations, the Trust is working harder than ever to care for special places for ever for everyone.

The flysheet is the external layer of waterproof material which acts as a barrier against the elements. It provides a cover for the inner tent structure creating a double walled tent. Flysheets have a polyurethane coating to make them waterproof and most seams are taped to prevent water coming through the stitching. Flysheets are not breathable so ventilation is needed to reduce condensation. As zips cannot be made waterproof, flysheets have zip covers to combat the rain.

The inner tent is a self contained compartment made of breathable fabric with a sewn-in groundsheet, forming a bug free and snug sleeping compartment. Some inners have a water repellent finish to protect from the transfer of any condensation that may have built-up on the inside of the flysheet.
