Product Features

AKU Montagnard Work GTX (AK969) – Orange

Montagnard Work GTX is a certified, high-cut PPE work boot built for demanding mountain environments where long hours, heavy loads and harsh conditions are the norm. Based on AKU’s classic Montagnard platform, it pairs a tough Perwanger® leather upper with a full rubber rand for serious abrasion protection, backed by a GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort lining for waterproof, breathable all-weather performance. Underfoot, a stiff, high-rigidity construction with an anti-perforation insert supports secure movement on ladders, rock, and uneven ground, while a lightweight aluminium-alloy safety toe cap adds protection without excessive bulk. Grip and worksite assurance come from the Vibram® Curcuma outsole, engineered to be antistatic, hydrocarbon-resistant and highly slip-resistant for reliable traction across wet rock, metal structures and mixed mountain terrain. Certified to EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 HI CI WR HRO SRC for professional work and safety use.
