The Tech 8 features highly developed material technology that has been applied to the iconic Tech 8 boot to yet further enhance its performance. An innovative, bio-mechanical, calf and shin articulation system has been designed to give improved control and flex overall.

Fully CE EN 13634 Certified. For off-road use only.

Features:

• Full grain leather upper construction with innovative external, calf and shin flex control system features a vertical dual sliding blade mechanism, improving control and enabling progressive resistance to forward and rear extension. The system also promotes more consistent flex throughout the Tech 8 and being an integral part of the front and rear protection, allows the boots safety performance to function without affecting comfort and feel.
• Patented internal soft leather bootie works with the exterior structure to provide a more precise fit and long-lasting comfort, asymmetrical gel inserts improve ankle comfort and protection and a removable anatomical foot bed gives the foot a more natural posture within the boot.
• Outside protectors are injected with high modulus PU for high levels of impact and abrasion resistance.
• Comprehensive support and security built in to the internal structure of the boot with additional shock absorbing insert in the heel.
• Dual compound sole for great durability with improved grip and tactile feel.
• Alpinestars exclusive lasting process gives the Tech 8 a highly precise and comfortable fit and suits varying foot shapes.
• Extended flex panels in the in-step and Achilles further promote natural movement, control and comfort.
• Enhanced closure system features 4 easy-to-operate aluminum buckles with memory and a quick release/locking system with self-aligning design for easy, precise closure. The revised upper buckle alignment (rear closing top buckle and forward closing shin buckle) improve fit control while retaining the burst protection afforded by bi-directional buckle closure. The buckles are mounted within the profile of the boot to further protect them from impact damage.
• Enlarged TPU rubber gaiter at the top of the boot (similar to Tech 10 design) effectively seals out elements.
• The Tech 8 boot features a ventilation system with multiple air intakes. (Sizes 9 and up)
• Weight: 4.1kg (Size 8 pair)
