During the development of the SIDI Gavia Gore-Tex®, a lot of attention was paid to the comfort of the boot. The Velcro closure has made it easier to get in and out of the boot.
The SIDI Gavia GTX Boots are designed for riders who enjoy soaking in the sights as much as the pure adrenaline of the ride itself. Both external and internal ankle protectors as well as heel and toe inserts provide safety without compromising flexibility. Removable arch support pads, Cambrelle lining and ample elastic stretch panels enhance fit and long range touring comfort, making the SIDI Gavia Gore-Tex Boots an excellent choice for sport tourers looking for Gore-Tex weather protection that can go the distance.
*Full Grain Microfibre with very similar characteristics to the genuine leather.
** Sidi has added a small elastic panel to aid in a smooth zipper operation as it allows a bit of movement via the elastic as the zipper passes over the rider’s ankle ball.

Removable GTX Liner
In garments with a removable GTX liner, the waterproof membrane is separate from the jacket or pants. This offers flexibility, as the liner can be removed in warmer conditions. In the rain, the rider stays dry, but the outer fabric can absorb water, making the garment heavier and colder, and increasing drying time.
Z-Liner GTX
With a fixed Z-liner, the GTX membrane is permanently placed between the inner lining and the outer shell. This system offers greater convenience since nothing needs to be removed. However, similar to a removable liner, the outer fabric can still become saturated during rain.
Laminated GTX
With laminated GTX, the membrane is directly bonded to the outer fabric. This prevents the material from absorbing water, causing rain to bead off the surface. The result is a lighter garment that dries faster and cools less in wet conditions. Laminated GORE-TEX is often chosen by riders who commute daily or frequently ride in changing weather conditions. Because this construction is less flexible, effective ventilation is essential for comfort on warm days.
Laminated 2-Layer and 3-Layer
Within laminated GTX, a distinction is made between 2-layer (2L) and 3-layer (3L) constructions. In 2-layer GTX, the membrane is laminated to the outer fabric and protected by a separate inner lining. In 3-layer GTX, the membrane is permanently bonded to both the outer fabric and the inner lining. This prevents layer movement, reduces wear, and increases durability, especially during intensive use.
