About this deal

Here’s a further breakdown of the general labeling requirements for protective clothing using the EN340 standard: EN 340:2003– Protective clothing – General requirements

The term normally implies that the manufacturer tested the whole or just a piece of a garment within their own facility that might meet certain standards. However, the garment is not necessarily tested in a certified testing facility to meet officially accredited standards. Designed with resistance in mind, the Harley-Davidson boots feature solid, smooth-finish uppers that are almost impossible to destroy. Harley-Davidson used the Goodyear welting process to bond together all of the parts of the boot, which makes them so wanted among motorcyclists.Tear strength – A pre-slit specimen is “pulled apart” and they measure the force that’s necessary to further tear it. If you rip open your garment via a sharp object, they want to make sure that it’s very difficult to rip the fabric open further. These jeans have AA protection rating, so while not the outright best in terms of abrasion and tear resistance compared with AAA items, they do have Level 2 CE armour in both knees and hips. The outer shell is Demin, while the yarn is a blend of Dyneema, Cordura and Polyester, with a tiny bit of Elastane woven in for stretchiness. If you are usually making numerous stops, sightseeing, and riding mostly on the streets and highways, you might find casual, leather, or cruising boots most suitable. What do you need the most after a long day of riding? To take those boots off and let your feet breathe, right? The pull-loop design makes it easy-peasy to pun the Durango Men’s 11″ Harness Boot on and take it off. The “ EN” stands for “ European Norm.” You might also notice armor listed as “ CE”. The letters “CE” are the abbreviation of the French phrase “ Conformité Européene” which literally means “ European Conformity”. The term initially used was “EC Mark” and it was officially replaced by “CE Marking” in the Directive 93/68/EEC in 1993. “CE Marking” is now used in all EU official documents. All of this has to do with the European motorcycle safety standards. America has unofficially adopted these standards, but they are not required by law for street use. In contrast, to ride a motorcycle in Europe, you have to have protective apparel that meets these standards. Since April 2018, all motorcycle garments fall under the scope of the PPE regulation, which basically means that if it is sold as protective motorcycle apparel, it’s deemed to be personal protective equipment and should be tested at an official notified body under a strict set of standards to comply with the PPE regulation.

Stable, comfortable, flexible enough, and easy to put on and pull off, the Harley-Davidson boots scream quality, but we haven’t expected any less from a renowned brand like this. Urban riders likely won’t be wearing full-leather one-piece suits to commute in, despite it being a “safer” choice. Nor will adventure riders. That said, it’s a fine balance between making sure safety is a top priority, but also that comfort, breathability, waterproofing, flexibility, and more is taken into consideration, all while offering the protection best suit to the riding style. If you are usually riding long distances, you need a pair of boots that is lightweight in the first place. Cruising boots make a perfect combo of protection and comfort but aren’t as protective as their racing counterparts are. 4. Sport Here’s a short explanation of the rating system used to measure the effectiveness of motorcycle armor in absorbing and withstanding impacts. Nearly all motorcycle boots are water-resistant, but water ingress may occur sooner or later unless they are specifically designed and sold as fully waterproof.I prefer very tough high boots for maximum protection, and if I need to go walking, I’ll simply store a pair of shoes or trainers in my panniers. Some materials used for making motorcycle boots offer greater ventilation and are more breathable, but less protective and sturdy. These boots are made of microfiber, Kevlar, Gore-Tex, and similar fabrics. Things To Consider Before Buying Motorcycle Boots 1. Your Riding Type

Now that we’ve mentioned summer rides, you shouldn’t be afraid your feet would be sweaty if you would be riding in your boots during the summertime. When made of water-resistant materials, motorcycle boots will absorb the moisture and allow the optimum airflow so your feet can breathe. 5. Maintenance Motorcycle boots come with padded insoles that will keep your feet toasty even when the temperature drops below zero. However, you can find some nice models that are more suitable for the summer as well. 4. Breathability When riding at high speed, you want to protect your lower leg and fee as much as possible. The same applies to riding on rough terrains. Spare your feet from injuries with a pair of boots that boast the proper protective equipment. The choice of your boots largely depends on the type of rider you are. Are you a sports-type or a street biker? Different types of boots are designed to suit different types of motorcycles and different riding types. Motorcycle boots may be high, short, waterproof, light, heavy, rigid, flexible, cheap, expensive, fashionable, or chunky like a workman’s boot.Regular boots don’t feature crash protection in case of an accident, which is probably the biggest difference between the two styles. A motorcycle boot that provides adequate protection should be high enough as well. Look for a pair that covers your ankles at least. The higher the boot, the higher the level of protection. Is the second highest level of protection with which to take on the wide range of risks that motorcycle riding presents.

Even though most riders can’t tell the difference between regular and motorcycle boots, there are some essential features that make motorcycle footwear way more suitable for riding your bike. 1. Higher Level of Protection Getting yourself a pair of sports boots and you own a cruiser bike? That’s a big no-no. Cruising rides require footwear that offers weather protection and comfort. Beware of your riding type and make smart decisions on the style of the boots that suit you best. 2. Where Do You Ride Most Often? The “340” is just a general standard that is not specific to a specific sport or job. So when you see both the 340 and 1621 on a piece of armor, the 340 is really pointless because the 1621 already covers all the requirements for the 340.The padded insoles ensure the utmost support to the feet, while the 100% leather construction makes them lightweight and pleasant to wear. Leather, as a natural material, doesn’t make feet overheated, so the inside of the boot is never overheated.
