Motorcyclists who ride year-round will appreciate having a reliable pair of waterproof boots, especially when touring long distances across regions with different weather conditions. It’s common to experience bright and sunny weather in one place and encounter wet and stormy conditions just a few miles away, particularly during the spring and fall months.

To address the needs of touring motorcyclists in various weather conditions, Icon Motorsports, based in Portland, Oregon, has introduced its latest pair of boots—the Alcan. Made from durable and abrasion-resistant TechTuff leather, these heavy-duty touring boots feature a waterproof yet breathable layer called the “eVent Membrane.” This technology is designed to keep feet dry during wet weather while providing adequate ventilation in hot conditions.

On the technological side, the Alcan boots incorporate sturdy reinforcements on the toe box and heel, D3O malleolus protectors for enhanced safety, and a reinforced shin plate. The selector area is also reinforced with an additional layer of material for durability. The boots have a non-slip outsole for secure footing across all types of terrain and an EVA foam insole for added comfort during long tours. Notably, the Alcan WP boots utilize the BOA cable system, which enables a snug fit that can be quickly adjusted and removed.

These protective features have earned the Icon Alcan WP boots the PPE certification under the EN 13634:2017 safety standard. The boots are available in two color options: black and gray with black and white accents, featuring a gum rubber sole. Sizes range from 40 to 48.5, and they can be purchased for $245 USD on Icon’s official website (link provided below).
