Why D3O®?

D3O® is a breakthrough impact protection technology trusted by military, motorsports, and professional athletes worldwide. It stays soft and flexible during normal wear but hardens instantly upon impact to absorb and disperse energy. This gives the Recon serious protective capability without adding unnecessary bulk, keeping the boots lightweight, breathable, and rider-friendly.

FITGO® Precision Dial Closure

Instead of traditional laces, the Recon features the FITGO® dial system, a micro-adjustable closure that delivers a secure, custom fit with a quick twist. Easy to operate even with gloves on, FITGO® ensures consistent tension, prevents loosening while riding, and eliminates the risk of lace snagging.

D3O® Ankle Armour

Strategically placed D3O® inserts at the ankles provide flexible yet effective impact protection where it matters most.

TPR External Ankle Guard (Lateral Malleolus Protection)

A tough thermoplastic rubber shield reinforces the outer ankle (lateral malleolus), a critical impact zone for riders, adding extra durability and protection without compromising comfort.

Reinforced Toe & Heel Protection

A hardened toe box and heel cup shield against impact and abrasion while maintaining a sleek combat boot silhouette.

Gear Shift Protector

Specialised overlay keeps your boots looking new by withstanding the rigors of gear shifts.

Dual-Density Comfort Sole

A rugged, shock-absorbing sole built to handle both foot pegs and uneven terrain—stable, supportive, and adventure-ready.

All-Day Comfort
