IRISH SETTER INTRODUCES THE ELK TRACKER XD

The Elk Tracker family of boots is legendary in the Irish Setter line. This fall, Irish Setter is introducing the Elk Tracker XD--purpose-built for the harsh conditions hunters may face on their next big game hunt. The new extra durable styles carry forward the comfort from the original styles, but bring a more rugged, hardcore set of attributes to the hunt.

"Hunters have come to rely on Irish Setter Elk Tracker boots when they get their tag," said Charley Bryant, Irish Setter Product Line Merchant. "The Elk Tracker XD boots are extra durable for the most demanding conditions and hunters."

A full leather camo upper with leather gusset overlay protects feet and prevents debris from entering the boot. Welted construction enhances durability while a wraparound rubber rand offers abrasion resistance against rocks, sticks and other sharp objects. Irish Setter’s proprietary Field Camo Desert Leather, produced at S.B. Foot Tanning Company, offers superior concealment and coordinates with other popular camo patterns to match a variety of terrain.

TempSens technology helps regulate the temperature within the boot to maintain constant foot comfort. In hot conditions, the system reacts so moisture is hyper-wicked away from the foot, facilitating evaporative cooling. This helps keep feet cooler, drier and more comfortable. In colder conditions, the system also pulls moisture from the skin, but traps it to create a thermal barrier that helps maintain a constant, comfortable temperature inside the boot. UltraDry™ waterproof construction offers long-lasting protection. Primaloft® insulation (200 grams) is available in Elk Tracker XD style #3981.

A lace-to-toe fit allows a tighter fit which reduces discomfort created by movement within the boot, especially when descending steep terrain. A locking hook row assists in keeping the boot tight during lacing. A Cushin™ comfort tongue provides comfort in the shin area while ScentBan™ scent control eliminates odors within the boot.

EnerG material underfoot provides comfort and sustained support through an energy-returning core sandwiched between midsole and outsole. EnerG delivers a recharging burst of energy with every step. A resilient, removable EVA/memory foam footbed delivers long-lasting comfort. An ultra-durable Vibram® rubber outsole features bulls-eye air bobs with a tread pattern that releases mud and dirt for superior traction.

Stand out from the herd with next-generation boots that combine the comfort of the original Elk Tracker with truly hardcore advanced technology. Elk Tracker XD boots aren’t just tough. They’re elk-hunter tough.
