Full details
The Forma Jasper HDry Motorcycle Boots are designed for adult male riders seeking extreme comfort and reliable waterproofing on touring rides. Their key benefit is the Outdry® waterproofing system, which keeps feet dry and boots lightweight, even in wet conditions.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all-season riding?
The HDry® waterproof and breathable membrane makes them excellent for wet conditions and moderate temperatures. For extreme cold, additional thermal socks may be beneficial.
What does EN 13634:2017 level 2-2-2-2 certification mean?
This certification indicates a high level of protection across different impact and abrasion resistance categories, including ankle protection, abrasion resistance, cut resistance, and transversal rigidity.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the UK sizing. Trying them on if possible is the best approach.
Can the inner lining be removed for washing?
The inner lining with the HDry® membrane is laminated directly to the upper and is not designed to be removed.
What is the main advantage of the Outdry® system?
The primary advantage is that the waterproof membrane is laminated directly to the boot's upper. This prevents water from getting between layers, keeping the boots lighter and allowing them to dry faster compared to traditional waterproofing methods.
How durable is the full-grain leather upper?
Full-grain leather is the highest grade of leather, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear, making it ideal for motorcycle boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the Velcro straps are adjusted correctly for a balanced fit.
Water seeping through despite HDry® membrane
Check all seams and closure points (Velcro and zip) for any damage or improper fastening. Ensure the outer leather is treated to maintain its water-repellent properties, as excessive water saturation on the exterior can eventually test the membrane's limits.
Difficulty with zip closure
Ensure no debris is caught in the YKK® zip. If stiff, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zip teeth.
Reduced grip on the sole
Inspect the touring sole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole regularly. If significant wear is present, consider professional inspection for replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the Velcro straps and YKK® zip are fastened securely for a snug fit before riding.
Compatibility:
The Forma Jasper HDry boots are designed for motorcycle riding and are compatible with most motorcycle controls and footpegs. The PU shifter pad protects the boot from gear lever wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the full-grain leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The HDry® membrane is integrated. For the leather, use a suitable leather conditioner periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
