Is the Toundra Forces CSWP actually warm to -40°?

Salomon rates it to -40° using Aerotherm Aerogel insulation. Owners confirm strong warmth in deep cold, though warmth depends on socks and activity level.

Is it fully waterproof?

Yes. It uses a ClimaSalomon Waterproof bootie, a flexible full waterproof layer inside the boot, so wet snow and slush stay out.

How does it compare with the regular Toundra?

The Forces version adds non-reflective materials and tactical styling. The core platform, Aerogel insulation, CSWP waterproofing and Contagrip W sole, is shared.

How does the fit run?

Salomon lists a standard fit with a 15 mm drop. Some owners say it runs narrow, so wide-footed buyers may want to size up or try before buying.

What is the boot made for?

Cold-weather patrols, deployments and winter field work, plus winter hiking and snowshoeing. It is warmer and bulkier than most casual winter boots.

How much does it weigh?

About 24 oz per boot, which Salomon calls best-in-class for its warmth class.

About the Salomon Toundra Forces CSWP

The Salomon Toundra Forces CSWP is a winter boot built for cold-weather patrols, missions and deployments. It is fully waterproof and insulated with Aerotherm Aerogel, which is rated to keep feet warm down to -40°. The materials are non-reflective for tactical use.

The Contagrip W winter outsole has deep, aggressive lugs for footing in snow, ice and mud. Its compound maintains adhesion in freezing temperatures. The boot uses a PU coated leather upper, a synthetic lining and a protective toecap and mudguard.

Regular laces run through closed hooks, which reduce the risk of snags from ropes. A gusseted tongue keeps debris out and stays centered. SensiFit cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system for a snug fit. An EVA sockliner and EnergyCell EVA foam provide cushioning and shock attenuation.
