FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of weather conditions, including rain.
What is the primary intended use for these boots?
These boots are primarily designed for touring and everyday motorcycling, offering a balance of comfort, protection, and durability for longer rides and commuting.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on if possible is always the best option.
What does EN 13634:2017 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the boots meet specific European standards for protective footwear for motorcyclists, covering aspects like abrasion resistance, impact protection, and cut resistance.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX membrane offers breathability, they are designed as protective touring boots. In very hot climates, riders may find dedicated summer boots more comfortable, but the Gavia Gore provides a good balance for varied temperatures.
How should I clean the boots?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Are there reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the boots feature reflective inserts on the back to enhance visibility during low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite GORE-TEX
Ensure all zippers and Velcro closures are fully secured. Check for any tears or damage to the boot material or seams that might compromise waterproofing. Clean the boot thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before assessing.
Velcro closure losing grip
Clean the Velcro strips with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn debris, a small amount of rubbing alcohol can help dissolve residue. Ensure the Velcro is fully dry before re-engaging.
Discomfort during long rides
Ensure you have the correct size and that the boots are laced/fastened appropriately. Consider using moisture-wicking socks. Break in the boots gradually with shorter rides before embarking on extended journeys.
Reduced breathability
Clean the exterior of the boots and ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not obstructed by dirt or mud. Check for any internal moisture build-up from sources other than external water.
