Description
The Sitka Gear Ascent GORE-TEX is a lightweight waterproof hunting shoe built for training, scouting, early-season hunts, hiking, and fast movement through wet terrain. GORE-TEX Invisible Fit construction adds breathable waterproof protection while Sitka’s AXIS-FIT design provides the locked-down support and stability hunters need on uneven ground.
Combining the cushioned feel of a trail runner with the stability of a hunting boot, the Ascent GORE-TEX is designed for hunters who want to move quickly without giving up traction or weather protection. The Apex Tread System uses omni-directional lugs for dependable grip on slick rocks, mud, sidehills, climbs, and descents.
GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT WATERPROOF PROTECTION
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit construction integrates waterproof, breathable protection directly into the upper for a streamlined feel. It helps keep feet dry through rain, wet grass, mud, and other damp early-season conditions without turning the Ascent into a bulky traditional hunting boot.
LOCKED-DOWN AXIS-FIT SUPPORT
Sitka’s AXIS-FIT design wraps and secures the foot to improve support and stability while moving across uneven terrain. The secure fit is especially useful when sidehilling, scrambling, stalking, or changing direction off trail.
APEX TREAD SYSTEM
The proprietary Apex Tread System outsole uses omni-directional lugs to create traction at multiple angles. The lug pattern is designed for forward, backward, lateral, uphill, and downhill movement, helping maintain footing when terrain gets slick or unpredictable.
CUSHIONED STABILITY WITHOUT THE BULK
A molded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and response underfoot, while TPU reinforcements add stability for uneven ground. TPU heel and toe guards strengthen high-impact areas, and the abrasion-resistant upper balances durability with breathability.
BUILT FOR WET EARLY-SEASON CONDITIONS
The Ascent GORE-TEX is the waterproof option in Sitka’s Ascent footwear lineup and is a strong choice for hunters dealing with rain, dewy grass, creek crossings, mud, and damp scouting conditions. For hot, dry conditions where maximum airflow is the priority, compare it with the Sitka Gear Ascent.
