Cold-weather specialist 45NRTH, which has a new UK distributor, Charlie the Bikemonger, offers element-beating boots for rides ranging from wintry commutes to hardcore Arctic expeditions. We’ve got the chance to get hands-on with the brand new Japanther transition season boot and completely redesigned winter fat biker's choice, the Wölvehammer.
Japanther transition season boots
The Japanther boots (£205 / $225 / AU$TBC) replace 45NRTH’s Fasterkatt as an autumn/spring transitional boot for either side of snowy winter seasons in northern regions, and all-winter for milder climes. They're also recommended by 45NRTH for commuting and cyclocross as well as MTB use.
With an emphasis on water protection rather than extreme cold, they're still rated to a lower temperature comfort rating of -3ºC in part thanks to an insole that boasts a mixture of aluminium, foam and wool to keep heat in and the cold out.

The upper membrane is claimed to be both highly breathable and waterproof, and is sealed off with a high Velcro cuff to keep out seepage from above and maintain a full range of movement.
