PERFORMANCE
El Bajo Boots have undergone EC Type Examination to assure compliance with Directive 89/686/EEC. To assure compliance with Directive 89/686/
EEC, they have additionally been examined and tested according to the technical standard EN 13634:2010, with the exception of Section 4.2.1
"Height of upper".
European standard EN 13634:2010 includes two performance levels in terms of the protection afforded. The degree of risk or hazard that a
motorcyclist will face is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accident. Within standard EN 13634:2010 'Level 1' performance
is deemed as the minimum level required in order for the footwear to provide useful protection in an accident, and offers footwear with an optimum
comfort level to suit all riding types. Where riders feel that their riding style or sport exposes them to an increased accident risk 'Level 2' has been
provided which offers increased performance – however it is likely that this additional level of protection has an increased penalty for the weight and
comfort, so may not be acceptable to all riders.
