Fizik Tempo Artica R5 GORE-TEX Winter Road Cycling Boots - Black

Tempo Artica GTX is fizik's road- specific winter shoe, insulated with a fleeced lining for extra warmth, breathable and waterproof thanks to an advanced GORE-TEX membrane.

Featuring an insulated Koala membrane by GORE- TEX, the Artica GTX is fully waterproof, meaning you can rely on their proven performance to keep you dry when it matters most. But beyond simply stopping wet weather, the advanced GORE-TEX technology is optimized for better breathability. That means that while wet weather conditions are stopped at the surface, moisture molecules from sweat vapor inside the shoe can easily escape through billions of tiny pores, for warmer, drier feet on cold, wet winter cycling adventures.

Inside the shoe, a soft, brushed-fleece lining increases both insulation and comfort, for an added cozy layer of defense against winter’s worst elements, be that a ride in freezing rain or a full-on spin in the snow.

Outside, a high-density PU-laminated upper is the perfect match to the lightweight GORE-TEX membrane, combining resilience with streamlined warmth for a nimble shoe that retains a high level of durability. The addition of a Velcro strap secures the ankle in place, while a single L6 BOA® dial makes micro fit adjustments easy, even with bulky winter gloves.

The nylon outsole of the newly-redesigned R5 offers comfort and moderate stiffness for efficient pedaling. Additionally, the cleat position is set slightly further back compared to traditional settings to better optimize pedaling efficiency and reduce knee compression. On this winter-specific configuration, the outsole omits vented holes to keep feet warm and dry.
