The Touratech Destino Touring 2 HDry technical motorcycle boot combines maximum touring comfort with field-tested robustness. Due to this concept, it is absolutely made for the versatile demands of adventure riders who like to spice up their tours with gravel stages. Thanks to the use of an advanced leather laminate, the latest generation has even better breathability.
Leather laminate instead of membrane
The most important innovation in the latest version of this all-rounder has to do with moisture protection. While its predecessor still relied on the classic construction with a liner, in which the membrane is incorporated as a loose layer between the outer material and the lining, the Destino Touring 2 HDry is made using the name-giving, particularly high-quality HDry leather laminate.
The advantages are obvious. Whereas the loose membrane in constructions with a liner is always subject to a certain amount of relative movement between the layers and the associated tensile and frictional forces, in the HDry leather laminate, the membrane and the outer material form an inseparable unity. No water can penetrate between the leather and the membrane, there are no seams prone to defects, and the stress on the membrane is distinctly lower. In addition to the significantly higher robustness, this leather laminate upgrades the Destino Touring 2 HDry, above all, through noticeably improved breathability.
Elaborate safety concept
In keeping with the motto "Never change a running system", the basic technical concept of the Destino Touring 2 HDry remains otherwise untouched. In other words: this boot features an elaborate safety concept, with a robust sole, protectors on the shin and ankle, a double layer of leather on the heel and forefoot, as well as heat protection on the inside of the leg. The triple fixation, using solidly screwed buckles, guarantees a secure fit. Certification according to the latest CE standard guarantees the safe-guarding effect of the protectors.
Practical solutions for maximum comfort
Although it is equipped with robust protectors, the Touring 2 HDry is extremely comfortable to wear. In addition to the waterproof and highly breathable HDry leather laminate, the Air-Pump insole contributes to a pleasant climate inside the boot by means of effective air circulation.
Being able to open the shaft wide makes pulling it on and off particularly easy. When closed, however, the Touring 2 HDry is extremely slim, so that wearing it under trousers works well. The shaft width can be adjusted individually by means of Velcro fasteners and adjustable locking buckles. Flex zones ensure good ankle mobility.
A flat-cut forefoot area enables a good feel for the gear lever, while generous reinforcement of the area impacted when shifting gears protects the boot from abrasion.
As a smart extra, the Touring 2 HDry, like all boots in the Destino family, has a pull out stainless steel cable to attach it securely to your motorcycle.
Wide range of sizes
The Destino Touring 2 HDry is available now in sizes 38 to 48.
