Baffin's GUIDE PRO III: Redefining Technical Footwear

Baffin has officially launched the GUIDE PRO III, the latest evolution in their renowned line of technical footwear, specifically crafted for adventurers and professionals braving extreme weather conditions. This state-of-the-art boot represents a new benchmark in outdoor footwear, continuing Baffin's legacy of excellence since 1979.

A Boot Designed for the Harshest Environments

The GUIDE PRO III builds on the brand's successful three-pin boot design, a staple for Polar explorers. It integrates advanced materials and innovative engineering to offer unparalleled performance in the coldest realms of our planet. Thanks to its application of nanotechnology, it is designed to maintain functionality and comfort during long journeys across snowy and icy terrains.

With its extended toe piece and three pinholes, this model is tailored for cross-country ski touring, allowing for a secure connection to the pin binding system. Its tall nylon and leather upper features a locking snow collar and a waterproof gaiter with Velcro closure, shielding adventurers from the unpredictable elements.

Unique Features Elevating Performance

A standout feature of the GUIDE PRO III is its revolutionary lace-up removable inner boot system, which can be customized according to the wearer’s needs. This inner boot technology is body-heat mouldable, ensuring a perfect fit that fosters comfort over extended periods outdoors. The boot not only emphasizes performance but also prioritizes safety; the bright Guide Red colorway enhances visibility in harsh and low-light conditions, a significant advantage for those journeying in remote environments.

Jessica Liut, Baffin's Brand Director, highlighted the importance of rigorous product testing in real-world conditions: “GUIDE PRO III is a testament to Baffin's legacy of rigorous product trials and our Real-World Tested™ philosophy. Designed for cross-country ski touring in extreme Polar conditions, GUIDE PRO III is Polar Proven®, having been tested by explorers in the world's most unforgiving environments.”

Advanced Materials for Extreme Conditions

The performance of this boot is further enhanced by its durable base designed for extreme environments. The Arctic Rubber™ shell offers lightweight flexibility and cold-resistance, while an EVA midsole provides necessary insulation and cushioning. The Polar Rubber™ outsole ensures maximum grip and durability under cold temperatures, an essential factor when traversing icy surfaces.

To help regulate temperature, the boot features a double aluminum insole that reflects cold while retaining warmth. Furthermore, a reinforced steel 3-pin toe guarantees compatibility with cross-country skis, making it an ideal choice for skiing enthusiasts.

Innovative Insulation Technology

Baffin's Removable Active-Fit Multi-layer inner boot system incorporates advanced insulation technology tailored for extreme winter climates. The inner boot features Thermawick™, a high-wicking material that enhances breathability and thermal regulation. The form-fitting B-Tek™ Foam lining promotes comfort, while the B-Tek™ Lite proprietary aero-insulation blend optimizes temperature regulation with minimal material. B-Tek™ Heat insulation offers high-loft breathability, working effectively across a spectrum of temperatures.

Moreover, the liner's use of a PolyNylon™ blend ensures lightness while maintaining breathability. Coupled with DiamondNet™ insulation for wind-resistance, this boot genuinely caters to outdoor adventurers who prioritize both warmth and comfort.

The Ultimate Choice for Cold Climates

The GUIDE PRO III is not just a footwear option; it's a necessity for anyone serious about outdoor excursions in cold climates. Rated as Real-World Tested™ (RWT™) Polar Rated, it has proven itself across both the North and South Poles. The B-Tek™ Dry Waterproof Base provides maximum wet protection, ensuring users stay dry even when conditions are not ideal.

Currently available in men's sizes 8-14, the GUIDE PRO III retails for $500 CAD / $450 USD and is accessible on Baffin’s official website and various retailers across North America. For those preparing to face the world’s coldest climates, the GUIDE PRO III is undoubtedly a footwear choice that combines performance, safety, and comfort in one compelling package.
