VTB 16 Sympatex Boots
The Vanucci *VTB 16* is a proper touring motorcycle boot, no doubt about it. The SympaTex climate membrane gives your feet ample protection from the elements. The special design with zipper and hook-and-loop closure allows perfect adjustment to the calves. This special comfort is apparent as soon as you put on and adjust the boots for the first time. Thanks to the rubber touring sole, you can also easily and comfortably reach landmarks or places of interest. That's how a touring boot should be.

Good to know:
Your breathable shoes are wind and waterproof. But boots are only breathable when you're wearing technical socks. Whereas cotton socks absorb and store moisture, technical socks first of all wick sweat and moisture away from your feet and into your shoes. Then the breathable shoe membrane completes the job of transporting the moisture out of the shoe altogether. That's how breathability works.
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.
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!
