Traveling through these natural threats were the highlighting concentration when creating the collection, ensuring that the pieces boasted rugged elements to combat it. Iceland consistently has weather changes, which make traveling difficult.

The Danner 'Raptor 650' and 'Mountain 600 Weatherized' boots are designed to keep wearers warm and dry when trekking through waterfalls. This kind of journey often comes with ancient glaciers as well, and wearers stay protected using the 'PrimaLoft' insulated component. The Raptor 650 boot is definitely a standout silhouette, rounded out with a Vibram midsole and outsole for traction purposes.
