Introducing C3® Technology. Bates brings a breath of fresh air to tactical performance. With each step, patented Cross Channel Circulation actively moves fresh air in and out of channels in the midsole and through vents in the footbed. These tough, supportive, leather and ballistic Nylon tactical boots actually breathe. And so do your feet. So they stay cooler, and you stay more comfortable in the hottest conditions.

More than superior breathability. You’ll get all the performance, protection, and support that make Bates tactical boots a dependable choice for so many critical applications. In fact you’ll enjoy the improved ventilation without sacrificing durability or water-resistance. While air circulates freely through these new boots, water and other fluids do not. Special filters inside the channel openings let air flow into the midsole…while they keep out moisture, dirt, and debris.

Sturdy, lightweight cement construction. Bates builds these boots like the finest athletic shoes. Marrying tough, flexible, water-resistant leather and 1680 Denier nylon upper with a soft, moisture wicking Cambrelle liner for additional breathability and comfort. A heavy duty YKK side zipper offers speed and convenience without sacrificing support. Tie your boots once; then just zip them on and off in seconds. Beneath your feet, an EVA athletic midsole and full 360° rubber outsole combine the right amounts of cushioning and support, with maximum stability, torsional rigidity, and excellent multi-surface traction—for fast movement in all directions…and sudden stops.
