Developed by 3M, Thinsulate is made of unique microfibers which imprison the air and reflects body heat twice as much as all other insulating fibers of comparable thickness. Moreover, because Thinsulate absorbs less than 1% of its weight in water, it preserves its insulating qualities even in moisture.

The H2O Seal process, exclusive to Regence, includes high quality waterproof material with sealed seams. This process provides a superior overall efficiency factor against water infiltration and the harmful effects of salt. It also makes routine care quick and easy.

Breathable and highly abrasion resistant 100% polyamide lining. Comfortable, it absorbs moisture and keeps the foot dry.

Breathable waterproof membrane, molded in the shape of a tight interior liner, Sympatex prevents water from penetrating, while evacuating perspiration towards the outside, thus avoiding any discomfort.

Waterproof membrane designed as a felt liner.

Waterproof and breathable membrane designed as a felt liner. (MVT 15 mg/cm 2). MVT is water vapor permeability of clothes, based on ISO 20345.

Lining made of fibres bringing comfort, absorption and increased abrasion resistance.

CHEMTECH is an advanced synthetic material that brings together the comfort and feel of leather, with advance waterproofing and chemical resistant properties. This material will resist to dairy products, animal fat, blood and most chemical products. It is 3 to 4 times more durable than leather.

Acton Natural Rubber

The natural rubber used to manufacture Acton® boots is extracted from a tree called the Hevea. The tree trunk is tapped to collect the «sap», also called «latex».

The superior quality natural rubber we use offers the best thermal protection and the safest grip on ice. Its exceptional properties: flexible in the cold, adherence, stable, durable, comfortable, 100% waterproof and preserving heat even in very cold weather are just a few of the many advantages of the 100% natural rubber bottom made by Acton®.

  • Resistant to extreme temperatures.
  • Very flexible, even in cold temperatures, and highly elastic.products.
  • Highly resistant to solvents and chemical
  • Non conductive of heat and cold 
  • Highly wear resistant.
  • Highly durable and stable.
  • 100% waterproof.
  • Natural material creating less condensation.
  • Non-skidding on all types of surface and even in cold weather.
  • Provides thermal protection by retaining heat even under the coldest conditions.

No matter the style or the size, Acton® boots are made with the same first quality materials and Acton® never compromises on quality. We guarantee comfort and protection for all ages and in all weather conditions!

Acton Triple Density Thermal Liner

A lot of the heat is lost directly through the bottom of your foot. Acton® boots are built with several insoles, each serving a specific purpose waterproofing, thermal insulation or absorption. Furthermore, ACTON® winter boots are made of natural rubber of superior quality offering thermal insulation, great flexibility, adherent outsoles and 100% waterproof.

The Acton® 's triple density insulation liner contain 100% virgin wool. It is made of three complementary materials which create a revolutionary system "triple-layered", ultra-efficient. Here are those three materials:

  • POLYPROPYLENE
  • Absorbs and quickly evacuates moisture toward outside.
  • WOOL & POLYPROPYLENE COMBINATION
  • Provides the desired comfort and insulation while evacuating dampness to the outside.
  • METALTEK®
  • Thanks to its reflective properties and tiny pores, it retains body heat, prevents the cold from penetrating and lets moisture out.

    Acton® Six-Layers Ifelt + Liner

    The Acton® IFELT+ liners include a cold shield tongue for an ultimate cold protection. Acton® IFELT+ liner is made of materials which make-up a six lyers system that is ultra effective against cold weather.1. A brushed nylon will provides you an ultimate comfort. 2. A cushioned foam very insulating and comfortable. 3. 400g Thinsulate Ultra™ insulation surrounding the foot. 4.Felt layer for greater insulation. 5. Polypropylene that insulates and evecuates moisture towards outside. 6. Metaltek® that retains body heat, prevents the cold from penetrating and lets moisture out.
