The inner boot in the Evoluzione is lined with 5 different layers of insulation including Primaloft and is taped and seam sealed to be waterproof. It has velcro based fasteners that wrap around your shin, unlike other boots where the inner boot has laces. A plastic sole on the bottom also enables the inner boot to be used as a camp bootie.
