High-Tex is a membrane used in Falco motorcycle footwear. Choose the boot around its intended use, fit and complete construction, with the membrane treated as one feature rather than a description of every protective component.
Understand the membrane role
Falco describes High-Tex as resistant to water penetration and lists it in footwear such as the Pyro 2. The manufacturer distinguishes this membrane from other technologies, including ankle protection and upper materials. Check the exact boot specification rather than treating High-Tex as an armour rating.
Compare boot shape and coverage
Assess height, closure, sole and the room available around the heel and forefoot. Short footwear and taller touring boots provide different coverage. Try the chosen boot with your normal socks and trousers, including the riding position and the overlap at the leg.
Follow product-specific care
Use the instructions supplied for the boot’s upper, lining and membrane. Ask about cleaning and drying before applying a treatment intended for another material. Check the protection marking and any stated waterproof performance for that model; the collection name does not establish a universal test level.
