VANUCCI VAB-6 SYMPATEX
Important notes
VANUCCI VAB-6 SYMPATEX
The Vanucci *VAB-6* has repeatedly proven itself as a very good touring motorbike boot. The full-grain, hydrophobic cowhide and the water-repellent and flexible PU synthetic fabric play a large part in this. In combination with the Sympatex climate membrane, which protects your feet from water and wind but is breathable at the same time, hardly anything can happen to your feet while on the move. The special zip and hook-and-loop fastener construction allows for perfect calf adjustment. And you’ll notice this special level of comfort as soon as you step into the boot for the first time and adjust it precisely. The Michelin touring sole, which were specially developed for the *VAB-6* also lets you master the way to points of interest very well.

Good to know:
Your breathable boots are wind and waterproof. However, the boots are only breathable if you have functional socks on your feet. While cotton socks retain moisture, functional socks transport sweat and moisture away from the foot and into the shoe. The breathable shoe membrane then works there and transports the moisture completely out of the shoe, ensuring breathability.
The premium brand from Louis
The Vanucci name is synonymous with premium motorbike clothing for sports and touring bikers who value the highest quality. The collection includes everything from enduro suits for travelling round the world and sporty leather suits for speedy laps of the race course, through to neck warmers and touring boots. Whether you prefer leather or textile, every Vanucci garment offers high-quality materials and high-tech features, such as Sympatex and Outlast, combined with distinctive Italian styling plus all the experience and passion of designer Enrico Vanucci. The same applies to the intelligently designed and sturdy Vanucci luggage systems.
Basic function: Exploiting a temperature gradient, perspiration is wicked away to the outside, yet wind and rain cannot penetrate. This effect makes both textile and leather clothing highly weatherproof, and also very comfortable to wear.
The membranes are manufactured from different base materials, depending on the brand, and are made either as a loose "liner", as a laminate (bonded to the outer material), or as a coating on a carrier material.
The SympaTex membrane is made of polyester, and transports water vapour molecules outwards by means of chemical reactions. Different materials are tailored to the various applications in the field of motorcycle clothing.
All climate membranes are sensitive to mechanical damage: if a membrane is pierced, clearly it can no longer provide protection. Damage can also result from the use of inappropriate washing agents. Softeners, including those contained in detergents, damage the membrane irreparably!
Powered By Michelin Technical Soles
Most traditional, high-quality outer material with cult status for motorcycle clothing and accessories. Unmistakable in its natural, high-quality look, the strong image, ideally suited to both figure-hugging and highly functional designs. The biker's "second skin" still has the edge over any textile material when it comes to safety and resistance to abrasion and tearing. The way the material stretches as the clothing is worn means that leather clothing adapts to the body contours ideally, thus also guaranteeing that protectors fit optimally. Leather clothing should therefore always be bought with a close fit. Impregnation, leather oil and surface coatings guarantee good weather protection and a degree of rainproofing, but unfortunately also limit the breathability. Relatively heavy, but enthusiasts value this as a "quality feature". Looked after properly, it is very durable. Because leather does not itself offer much thermal insulation, the other features of the garment, or the base layers of clothing, must provide some help here.
The OrthoLite insole guarantees durable cushioning and is highly breathable, removable and machine-washable.
