Further Information

Designed for fast moving expeditions to the highest levels or for any extreme cold weather venture where weight is at a premium, the Xeros pack up to almost nothing. Using Drishell fabric and a highly efficient lightweight construction these down boots can be a real boon on expeditions: and they'll double as mitts in a crisis.

"The Xero booties were great for sleeping in and I could also wear them inside my Sportivas for mooching around camp. All in all, perfect".
Nick Lewis, Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions

Also available in length: long.

As used by Ben Saunders in the Serco TransArctic Expedition, Rosie Stancer, Rosie Swale Pope, in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, and by many others.

Included in Geographical Magazine's 'Ten of the best' list of essentials for keeping "the cold at bay".

  • Box-wall throughout - no stitch-through seams
  • Ankle length
  • Elasticated tops
  • Black inner for easy drying
  • Stuff sac
  • Pack size: 10 x 18cm*

*Please note: we make our stuff sacs big enough to allow fairly easy stuffing rather than reducing the bag to the tightest minimum. What air is left in the packed item will easily be compressed out of it, if you are squashing it into a small space in your rucsace. Tiny stuff sacs look impressive: but unless you are a sac-wrestling fan, fighting the gear into them day after day can be an unncecessary chore.

"I've just returned from Vinson in Antarctica where your Xero down boots made life a breeze." Lord Forsyth, former Secretary of State for Scotland.

"[Your] Xero down boots are great", Ben Saunders.
