"The GORE-TEX Cirrus XT 4L is PFAS-free, waterproof, windproof, and impressively breathable when paired with wool socks. The best features of the new membrane are felt on the coldest, crappiest winter days. The GORE-TEX layer keeps out road/trail spray and slush, while the Primaloft insulation traps heat without feeling too bulky (there's a slight bulk, though). Together, they make the Celsius feel more like a warm performance shoe than a heavy boot or even cycling footwear."
"This casual-fit approach is something that's been missing in the Northwave winter-riding space and is a well-appreciated update. Inside the Celsius XT, the innermost fabric is soft with a super-fleecy lining. The feeling is like a warm blanket, and the compression after tightening the shoe enclosure is very nice. The fleece doesn't form pressure points; it conforms to the foot, allowing for movement and decompression when pushing hard in a pedal stroke."
The Northwave Celsius XT Arctic GTX is a low-cut, cross-terrain winter riding shoe combining MTB, gravel, and expedition capabilities in a lighter, less race-focused package. A neoprene gaiter and waterproof zip seal out elements while a Primaloft Gold 200g liner pairs with the PFAS-free GORE-TEX Cirrus XT 4L membrane for waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection when used with wool socks. The membrane blocks road and trail spray and slush, while insulation traps heat without excessive bulk, producing a warm-performance-shoe feel. A super-fleecy inner lining conforms to the foot, avoids pressure points, and allows pedal movement and decompression.
