The Scarpa Bora GTX is a mid-cut hiking boot designed for comfort and reliable protection on day hikes and light backpacking trips. It is a workhorse boot that balances durability, waterproofing, and a lightweight feel, making it an excellent all-around choice for varied terrain.

The boot features a durable water-repellent suede leather upper enhanced with nylon fabric panels to provide a supportive fit without excessive weight. Its primary defense against the elements is the reliable GORE-TEX lining, which ensures your feet remain dry through wet grass and unexpected rain while still maintaining enough breathability for all-day wear. The dependable Vibram outsole offers robust traction, giving you confidence on dirt, loose gravel, and rock.
