MISSOULA, Mont. — Kenetrek Boots deepened its nearly two-decade commitment to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation by unveiling a new line of licensed RMEF-branded products.
“Kenetrek is widely recognized across the outdoor industry as a leader in producing quality boots and other apparel,” said Robb Latrielle, RMEF managing director of marketing and partnerships. “We greatly appreciate their longtime support as a partner that helps us ensure the future of big game including elk, other wildlife, conservation and hunting.”
The newly created Kenetrek products are RMEF Hunting gaiters, RMEF Yellowstone Socks and RMEF Monarch Socks. Proceeds from the sale of each of the offerings benefit RMEF’s mission.
“As a long-time, active supporter of the RMEF, I share the same passion and vision of conserving elk and their habitat and lands. I believe the world is a much better place with a balanced, beautiful ecosystem where we humans can witness the elk and their natural environment thrive,” said Kenetrek President Jim Winjum.
Winjum is a life member who joined RMEF in 1990. Dating back to 2006, Kenetrek actively contributed to RMEF event fundraising as a donor, exhibitor, advertiser and sponsor.
About Kenetrek Boots:
Kenetrek Boots were born out of their passion for hunting and their desire to find a pair of boots that wouldn’t leave our feet beat up and screaming in pain when we strap on a heavy pack, pick up a rifle or bow and head into the woods for a week of chasing game in rough weather. And since then, we’ve continued to design, test in the field, modify and repeat. . . regularly. We weren’t surprised that hunters of all kinds, backpackers and hikers were just as passionate about what they do, so we’ve set out to give them all comfortable, lightweight and super supportive boots that never let you down.
