Patagonia x Danner River Salt Wading Boots Now Available

March 29th, 2019

We have you a sneak peek of these Made in USA boots by Danner for Patagonia, during Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 18. And now, right on time, they’re available.

They are made from full-grain leather combined with 1000D nylon and a Vibram Megagrip sole. The leather is treated with a PFC-free saline solution tanning process for improved resistance to breakdown, even in salt water.

Since there are designed to be worn on both land and in water, there are perforated drains on both sides of the boot upper which is coincidentally free from unnecessary foams and backers.

In the photo, you can also see the Aluminum Bar sole model. In all, there are four versions, including felt and sticky rubber sole variants.

The color is Feather Grey. Sizes 5-14.

The HORUS, has a high precision Bullseye reticle and is parallax-free. Providing several brightness positions for both day and night vision, it has transparent lenses with a clean, wide and rectangular field of view, allowing quick and precise shooting with both eyes open. The sight can operate continuously for over 5 months with one AA commercial battery. (Note: AA batteries are available in all remote locations in Brazil, and are considerably less costly than CR123 batteries.) The sight is MIL-STD 810G and is submersible under water up to 10 meters.

The MEPRO NYX-200, an uncooled Thermal Sight is available in two unique configurations: thermal channel with digital night camera or thermal channel with digital day camera.

The combination of thermal channel and digital day camera (DDC) enables use of the sight for both day and night operations, eliminating the need to change sights/devices between day and night, and allowing soldiers to move between dark and light environments, such as entering dark places during daytime.
