PORTLAND, Ore. – This fall, LaCrosse Footwear Inc. will launch the Alpha SST
, the latest
innovation in scent free hunting footwear. The Alpha SST
(Scent Suppression Technology)
provides scent control on the inside of the boot as well as the outside, and will be favored by
hunters who require scent free stealth while on the move. Constructed with a scent free waterproof
exterior and a scent suppressing removable gator, which eats away odor forming bacteria and locks
in any remaining odor, the Alpha SST
allows the hunter to vanish from its prey.
In 1957 the first LaCrosse Scent Free rubber hunting boot, the Grange, was introduced. LaCrosse
then made a name for itself in the 90’s with its proprietary Alpha technology, combining naturally
insulating neoprene with scent free rubber. Its newest offering brings Alpha scent free technology to
a new level. “The Alpha SST
builds on our heritage of innovation,” says Mark Reilly, Senior PLM
for Hunting Footwear, “these boots are key for the hunter who wants to be a ghost in the woods.”
Lined in nylon for comfort and snag-proof durability, the 18-inch Alpha SST
is made with
traditional Alpha construction: rubber over naturally insulating neoprene. Scent free advantages
come from a scent free rubber exterior and a scent suppressing removable gator, which eats away
odor forming bacteria and locks in any remaining odor. The boot will be available in Realtree
APG
and Mossy Oak
Break-Up
camo patterns. The Mossy Oak
Break-Up
style features
1200G. Thinsulate
Ultra Insulation for colder conditions. A Sport Chassis outsole provides
superior traction over varied terrain.
The Alpha SST
will be available July 2009 for delivery to retail Fall 2009, in whole sizes 6-15.
