You are Made For The Elements. These are your Vans.
To say that the SK8-Hi Del Pato is back by popular demand would be an understatement. This beloved model makes its return with upgraded style and a completely rebuilt MTE-2-level tech offering. Now standard with an MTE-2 HydroGuard 360o Waterproof Package and MTE-2 PrimaLoft Cold Weather Thermal Package, it’s warmer and drier than ever before. Add in an MTE-2 outsole, and Vans’ proprietary All-Trac all-season weather compound, and you’ve got a SK8-Hi Del Pato that delivers strong on the promises of MTE. It is made with leather and synthetic uppers.
• MOISTURE MANAGEMENT – The MTE™-2 HydroGuard™ 360o package is watertight and stretchable, which results in comfortable, breathable waterproof technology.
• THERMOREGULATION – The zonal MTE™-2 Primaloft® insulation package uses a high-quality microfiber thermal insulation system to mimic the warmth-providing properties of down, keeping you warm without retaining internal moisture.
• TRACTION – The All-Trac MTE™-2 outsole offers a rubber compound that provides flexible underfoot lugs to bend with terrain changes, creating more surface area and better variable adaptability.
• COMFORT AND SUPPORT – Our MTE™-2 dual-density comfort package uses a single-density UltraCush™ molded EVA footbed with an OrthoLite® topsheet for enhanced comfort and reduced weight, while also supporting a drier, healthier environment inside your shoe.
