Predator Boot 5mm Round Toe GBS

FAQ

For which water sports is the Prolimit Predator Boot 5mm suitable?

The Prolimit Predator Boot 5mm Round Toe GBS is a versatile neoprene boot suitable for windsurfing, wing foiling, kiting, SUP, and wave riding. With 5mm material thickness and GBS seams, it keeps your feet warm and dry even in cooler water.

What does GBS mean on this neoprene boot?

GBS stands for Glued and Blind-Stitched. The seams are first glued and then blind-stitched from the inside, so that the needle stitches do not completely penetrate the neoprene. This significantly reduces water penetration and improves thermal insulation.

How warm is the Predator Boot 5mm really?

With 5mm Limestone Neoprene and the Airflex 500+ lining, the boot offers very good thermal insulation for Central European waters and the transitional season. For very cold winter sessions, a thicker 6 or 7 mm boot is recommended, while a 3 mm boot is often sufficient for summer.

How does the Predator Boot fit?

The boot has a unisex cut and is based on an Orthopedic Controlled Last, which ensures an anatomically correct, controlled fit. The boot is available in sizes 36 to 50, so both women and men can find their suitable size.

What is the easiest way to put on and take off the boot?

The Predator Boot features a wide entry, a Velcro closure on the shaft, and a heel webbing loop that makes it easier to put on. The Velcro closure on the arch allows you to individually adjust the width of the boot.

How robust is the sole of the Predator Boot?

The boot is equipped with a Direct Contact Sole (DCS), a thin sole with an additional rubber outsole. This provides a direct, barefoot-like feel on the board, while also offering good grip and protection against sharp edges, shells, or stones.

Is the Prolimit Predator Boot produced in an environmentally friendly way?

Yes, the neoprene is made of Limestone Neoprene and the glue is water-based, hypoallergenic, and environmentally friendly. This makes the boot a good choice if you pay attention to more sustainable materials in your water sports equipment.

How do I properly care for the neoprene boot?

Rinse the boot with clear fresh water after every session and let it dry in the shade so that UV radiation does not make the neoprene brittle. Store it lying flat or hanging in the air, avoid creases, and close the Velcro closures so they do not get dirty.
