High level of comfort for riding and walking, plus a waterproof* membrane.
TCX Street 3 WP are certified motorcycle shoes created to offer the perfect combination of protection on the saddle and freedom to walk in everyday situations. The upper is made of leather, and the T-DRY waterproof* membrane lining means that the new STREET 3 WP have no problem with rain. Protection is guaranteed by toe and heel reinforcements and D3O® inserts on the ankle. This patented material is soft and flexible, but designed to stiffen in the event of an impact.
One of the key points that produce a perfect balance of protection and comfort on the Street 3 WP shoe is the highly resistant yet flexible sole, characterised by the special molded polymer Zplate® insert, which combines transversal rigidity for maximum safety and longitudinal flexibility precisely due to its Z shape. Zplate® allows the shoe to follow all natural movements of the foot both in the saddle and when walking, but protects at the same time and prevents the shoe from being crushed in an impact. The Ortholite® insole is optimised to offer the sole of the foot long-lasting cushioning even after many uses and better breathability in all conditions. The Groundtrax® sole-features self-cleaning tread and compound specifically designed to resist wear and adhere better to the controls on the bike. They are fastened using laces, with a concealed system that adopts an elastic eyelet on the tongue.

* A waterproof membrane does not mean unlimited waterproof. The waterproofness depends on the quality of the membrane. Are you looking for 100% waterproof? Then select motorcycle shoes with GoreTex membrane.
EAN 8000958236423
Motorcycle gear comes in various levels of waterproofness, which is important for comfort and safety during wet rides. Most waterproof jackets, pants, gloves, and footwear have a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the outer layer. These products keep you dry, but there's a limit to how much they can penetrate. A waterproof membrane doesn't mean 100% waterproof. With prolonged exposure to rain or under high pressure, the outer layer can still let moisture through. This means you could get wet after longer rides in heavy rain, especially in areas where the fabric moves intensively or where seams are less well-protected.
Looking for 100% waterproof? Then choose a product with a Gore-Tex membrane. Gore-Tex is a specially designed membrane that is both waterproof and breathable. The membrane contains microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets to penetrate, but large enough to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape. This keeps rain and spray out, while your body heat and moisture are wicking away. You will ride dry and comfortable, even in prolonged or heavy rain.
In short: regular waterproof motorcycle clothing keeps out short(er) rainshowers, while Gore-Tex effectively protects against prolonged rain and at the same time provides breathable comfort.
