Baffin is expanding its Made in Canada collection with the introduction of Jasper, a new women’s boot designed to offer durability, style and comfort, inspired by Baffin’s Canadian heritage. Available in three different colorways, Jasper features a white faux fur collar for added warmth and comfort. The boots also feature Baffin’s Fixed-Fit multi-layer inner boot system for warmth, comfort and breathability in a broad range of temperatures. 

“We are excited to introduce Jasper to our growing line of Made in Canada products. Baffin’s heritage and our pride in being a Canadian company is of the utmost importance to us. We are thrilled to honor that heritage not only in our expanding line of domestic manufacturing, but also in our new designs that pay homage to the climate and styles of the North,” says Mark Hubner, Senior Vice President, Commercial at Baffin.
