INTRODUCING LITESPORT: A WINTER SPORT BOOT FOR MEN
Winter is a season of the unexpected. With its snow-covered landscapes, extreme conditions, and endless opportunities for thrilling adventures, having the right winter boot is paramount. Baffin encourages customers to achieve the extraordinary, while we provide them with innovative, high-performance products they can trust.
Baffin is proud to introduce LITESPORT, an evolution in winter footwear, where comfort meets agility without compromising style and protection. Made with a first of its kind lace-up inner boot technology and an innovative built-in-gaiter to protect from the elements, LITESPORT removes the need for a separate, secondary piece of protection. With easy snowshoe compatibility, LITESPORT is a versatile boot for winter adventurers and athletes alike.
Exploration Meets Innovation
The creation of LITESPORT was a passion project for the team at Baffin over the past two years. As outdoor enthusiasts, we came to the development of this boot through our own desire for a product that would stop the need for a separate gaiter to be worn during outdoor adventures.
Taking inspiration from GUIDE PRO II, one of Baffin’s most extensive products and a favourite amongst Polar explorers, LITESPORT was created by combining the extreme protection of the 3-Pin Collection, with the lightweight agility of the Ultralite Collection. By adding a first of its kind lace up removable inner boot system, LITESPORT provides a personalized fit while offering security and comfort.
Baffin boots go through an extensive process to make sure customers get the best product for their needs. The team at Baffin executes product testing in real world applications and environments to validate confidence and deliver the highest quality product. Our Real-World Testing™ (RWT™) system helps to recommend comfort levels associated with Baffin footwear. Each level has been determined by extensive use of Baffin product in real-world application on expeditions around the world.
Last winter, Baffin’s Senior Vice President, Commercial, Mark Hubner spent the season testing LITESPORT in the elements across Canada. This process allowed the team to find ways to upgrade the design and create an even better product.
The Pinnacle of Performance
Winter activities demand the highest level of performance and protection. Baffin’s LITESPORT features a technically advanced design and inner boot system prepared to equip you in snowy conditions.
