FAQs
What does EN 13634 certification mean?
EN 13634 is a European standard that certifies motorcycle protective clothing, including boots. It ensures the boots meet specific requirements for impact protection, abrasion resistance, cut resistance, and dimensional stability.
How do I adjust the Tecno-3 closure system?
The Tecno-3 system typically involves a dial or levers. Rotate the dial or operate the levers to tighten or loosen the closure around your foot and calf for a personalized fit.
Can the shin plate and slider be replaced?
Yes, the Sidi Rex Air boots feature replaceable shin plates and sliders. This allows you to maintain the protective integrity and appearance of the boots if these parts wear down or are damaged.
Are these boots suitable for racing?
The Sidi Rex Air boots incorporate features used by professional riders, including advanced protection and a secure fit system, making them highly suitable for high-performance recreational riding and track days. They are certified as protective clothing.
What type of socks should I wear with these boots?
It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking motorcycle-specific socks. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters, contributing to overall comfort during rides.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart and measure your foot accurately. Pay attention to the UK sizing provided. It's also helpful to consider the boot's internal volume and adjust closures accordingly for a snug fit.
Is the construction waterproof?
The boots are designed for breathability with a perforated upper. While they offer some protection against light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Closure system is difficult to adjust
Ensure the Tecno-3 mechanism is clean and free of debris. Try gently manipulating the dial or levers while applying slight tension.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the closure system is adjusted correctly for your foot and calf shape.
Exterior material shows scuff marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a clean cloth. For deeper marks, consult the care instructions for appropriate cleaning methods or consider a leather conditioner if applicable to the material.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure the ventilation ports are not blocked by dirt or debris. Clean them gently with a soft brush. Remember that while designed for breathability, extreme heat conditions may still lead to warm feet.
