Highlights & Technologies:

BOA L6:
A closure system consisting of dials and stainless steel wires that allow for precise adjustments. This combination allows cyclists to even adjust the shoes while riding. As there are no Velcro straps, the front part of the shoe is well-ventilated. The shoes can be closed by pushing and turning the dials in the direction of travel. The laces loosen by pulling the dial.

PRIMALOFT:
As an ultra-fine microfibre insulation material, PRIMALOFT is ideal for cold-weather and all-season clothing. The fibres are also incredibly soft, lightweight and highly compressible. PRIMALOFT is wind-resistant, breathable and offers excellent water-repellent properties. Once it is wet, it dries extremely fast. However, even when wet, PRIMALOFT retains its insulating properties and thus ensures a comfortable, dry and warm feeling in almost any kind of weather.

SYMPATEX:
The hydrophilic, non-porous membrane is waterproof (>45,000 mm waterproof rating), windproof and highly breathable at the same time. This functional membrane is also windproof and particularly durable thanks to the absence of pores.

ECO FINISH: 
VAUDE products with ECO FINSIH are produced to be water-repellent, without the use of fluorocarbons (PFC). PFC is a group of chemicals used to make the outer fabric of a product waterproof. Regular re-treatment is necessary for permanent water and dirt repellence.

VAUDE AM SOHLE shoe sole:
The dynamic tread pattern provides a larger contact area and good abrasion resistance. The bolt-on cover of the cleat system allows you to either ride with or without cleats. A nylon reinforcement ensures best power transfer to the pedal. The sole is convex for easy walking. Besides, it offers high shock absorption on midfoot and instep.

FLOW INDEX 6:
Different activities and terrains place different requirement on the sole in terms of its strength. V-Flow combines the shoes' cuff materials, fit and stability and provides an overview based on the V-Flow index to help you find out your personal preferences regarding intended use and comfort. The FLOW INDEX 6 offers a perfect fit and best protection, as well as maximum power transfer. Thus, it is perfect for riding on solid, natural grounds or hardened gravel paths, as well as on loose ground and rocky trails in Alpine terrain.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
