Saturday, March 5th, 2022

Lowa has been working on updating several boots in the Task Force line including the ever popular Zephyr.

While maintaining the the overall look of the boot, they’ve updated the materials and they are now fully certified to CE EN ISO 20347:2012 standard. The lacing system now features a locking hook and there’s a lace storage pocket at the top of the tongue. They’ve also enlarged the loop at the rear of the heel.

Additionally, the X-TRAC military outsole is new and incorporates a fast rope arch.

One interesting design change is that they’ve moved the seam at the side of the toe further back so that it won’t separate over time due to flexing. You can the new seam location on the Mk2 at the left compared to the original construction of the Zephyr at the right.

in this layout you can see the update extends to low, mid, and hi versions of the Zephyr MK2, in all colors as well.
