Danner works in collaboration with down label Nanga to introduce a two-piece set of the Freddo boots as an insulated footwear option for the colder seasons this year. The two creatively use feather down insulated to climbing products including sleeping bags, apparel, and footwear designs, which is an area of expertise for Nanga.
This time, Nanga utilizes its Aurora Light sleeping bag to create a two-in-one Freddo boot silhouette. The interiors are made from the sleeping bags and there are classic Danner components over the boots. The base foundation of the overboots are drawn from elements of the Danner winter standard boots with a waterproof membrane. For adjustment, there is a rape and buckle for simple access. The colorway options include all-black or a blue and orange option.
