Bootcap How it Works

As long as people have been skiing, skiers have struggled with the age-old challenge of keeping their feet warm while staying out in the cold to pursue their favorite activity. Modern day ski boots rely only on a hard plastic shell – which has very poor insulative properties – to keep heat from escaping the boot. Most attempts to fix this problem involve changing the materials of the ski boot and liner. Although some of these approaches have helped, they can be expensive and temperamental, and more importantly, they negatively affect the fit of a ski boot.

°bootcap® takes a new approach to keeping skiers’ feet warm by adhering insulation directly to the exterior of a ski boot’s toe box, which does not affect a boot’s fit in any way. (It is important to note that the toes, being the extremities, are the key to being comfortable while skiing. No one has ever said, "Man, can you do something about my heel, it's freezing!") This unique solution utilizes closed cell EVA foam, one of the best insulative materials available, to keep heat from escaping the boot, leaving skiers’ feet warmer and happier during a long day on the slopes.
