VIBRAM®
Founded in 1936 by Vitale Bramani, the success of Vibram® has been built step-by-step on the conviction that the highest summits are reached without haste. Vibram® works closely with a world-class team of athletes who make up the Vibram® Tester Team. They have been put together to ensure the most thorough possible understanding of the needs of every single nautical sporting discipline, in order to create soles which guarantee the highest level of performance and best possible rapport between the contact surfaces and rigors of every individual activity.
Sebago's exclusive Vibram® Boho™ sole combines rubber nubs and color to create an outsole both functional and fun to look at. The design channels water away from the sole providing exceptional contact with slick surfaces, including the deck or dock.
Sebago uses Vibram to produce the cupsole for our Performance Boots. The exclusive Sebago design features siped pods and grooves providing flexibility, support and slip-resistance in bad weather conditions.
CITA-XY® AGION™
Sebago uses Cita-XY® Agion® to wrap the footbeds of many of its casual marine
and land sandals. The Cita-XY® Agion® product is an antimicrobial inert
compound that kills microbes and remains effective longer against a significantly
broader spectrum of bacteria. In addition, Cita-XY® Agion® is a highly absorbent and breathable
material, allowing your feet to stay dry and comfortable at all times.
MICROBAN®
Sebago sandals are built with a compression-molded EVA footframe which contains
the added benefits of Microban® Protection. Microban® is an anti-microbial
product that inhibits bacteria, mold and mildew growth that cause odor and
stains. Microban has been exclusively tested and proven safe for skin
contact. Sebago craftsmanship combined with Microban protection will
keep you outside in total comfort.
LYCRA®
Lycra® by DuPont is an elastic spandex fabric. It provides superior
fit, shape retention and freedom. Combined with a leather footwear upper,
Lycra® is quick drying and easily maintained in a demanding performance environment.
