Agile Protection for the Modern Hiker

The Arc'teryx Kopec GTX is engineered for those who move quickly across varied mountain terrain but refuse to compromise on weather protection or durability. It represents a significant step forward in technical footwear, utilizing the PFAS-free GORE-TEX ePE membrane. This new technology provides the same "Guaranteed to Keep You Dry" waterproof performance Arc'teryx is known for but with a reduced environmental footprint. The upper is constructed from a rugged Cordura® mesh, offering a lightweight, breathable, and highly abrasion-resistant barrier against trail debris and scuffs.

Performance underfoot is defined by a dual-density midsole that balances plush shock absorption with the lateral stability needed for carrying a multi-day pack. The Vibram® Megagrip outsole features LITEBASE technology, which reduces the overall weight of the rubber sole by 30% without sacrificing traction or durability. With a roomier toe box that allows for natural foot splay and an extended U-throat construction for increased flexibility, the Kopec GTX delivers a comfortable, "broken-in" feel from the very first mile.

Key Features:

• GORE-TEX ePE Membrane: Provides breathable, waterproof, and windproof protection using an environmentally conscious, PFAS-free material.

• Vibram® Megagrip with LITEBASE: Offers elite traction on wet and dry surfaces while significantly reducing weight and maintaining a high-performance 4mm lug depth.

• Cordura® Mesh Upper: A high-tenacity fabric that provides exceptional durability and breathability while remaining lightweight and quick-drying.

• Dual-Density Midsole: Features a specialized construction that cushions the heel strike while providing a firm, supportive platform for the forefoot.

• Molded TPU Heel Counter & Toe Cap: An asymmetric toe cap and extended heel counter protect the foot from impacts and increase the shoe's longevity in rocky terrain.

• Roomy Toe Box: Designed with a wider forefoot to accommodate natural foot swelling and allow toes to splay during steep descents.

• Integrated Webbing Lace System: Ensures a secure, customizable fit that distributes pressure evenly across the top of the foot.
