VBX Bunny Boot

The VBX Bunny Boot from Alaska Gear Company is engineered for extreme cold weather, delivering reliable warmth, dryness, durability, and comfort. It features 100% waterproof vulcanized rubber and the Vapor Barrier X (VBX) system that surrounds multi-layer wool insulation to prevent condensation from freezing inside the boot. The insulation is layered to block heat transfer, creating a strong thermal barrier for extended wear, while a high-traction outsole with deep diamond-shaped lugs provides grip on snow, ice, and mud. Hydrophobic vented insoles and True Fit insoles (standard or downsized) support a personalized, true-to-size fit. Crafted with rugged American craftsmanship in mind, the VBX Bunny Boot embodies the brand’s heritage and performance ethos. The VBX technology is designed to keep warmth inside while preventing moisture and condensation from compromising insulation, leveraging vulcanized rubber construction and reinforced outsoles for durability in harsh conditions. A notable design choice is the omission of the air valve common in military versions, reducing potential failure points and improving long-term reliability. The boot’s extreme-cold rating is showcased in the line-up’s performance claims, with the VBX family rated to withstand some of the harshest subzero environments.
