Boreal Lynx
Boreal
A versatile do-it-all lace-up with a subtly downturned last and ultra-sticky Zenith rubber, equally at home smearing friction slabs or standing on micro edges. A balanced, moderately stiff platform suits sport, multi-pitch and all-day use rather than steep, specialist terrain.
Best For
