Oboz Bangtail Mid Insulated

Briefed as a modernized, lighter weight take on Oboz insulated boots, the Bangtail has become a core insulated product in the Oboz line. My roles and responsibilities for this project included upper and tooling design, materials selection and initial color blocking and direction.

The Bangtail features Vibram Arctic Grip lugs, a BDry waterproof lining and 200g of Primaloft Bio insulation to provide winter performance and protection.
