The Hi-Tec® V-Lite Hornet men's hiking shoe keep you cool and comfortable on the trail. Lightweight synthetic upper with the revolutionary ion-mask™ hydrophobic technology won't absorb water and weigh you down. The compression-molded EVA midsole provides responsive cushioning, while a Vibram outsole ensures dependable grip on the trickiest terrains.

ion mask:	A waterproof coating (only molecules thick) that does not alter the breathability of the shoe materials. This keeps water, mud, dirt, coffee, or anything else from absorbing into the shoe – thus preventing added weight or stains. Since tiny amounts of the chemicals are used and it is a solvent-less process waste is drastically reduced to make this one of the most eco-friendly footwear technologies out there.
Vibram Outsole:	Simply the best when it comes to durable traction.
V-lite:	The philosophy is simple – shoes are divided into 5 layers and each layer is analyzed to provide the best balance of support and weight available. Each V-lite shoe is vertically stacked: Outsole, Midsole, Lasting Board, Insole, and Upper and designed to work together for the best footwear possible.
