Offers protection, comfort and easy to clean
A synthetic material makes up the top of the Sidi Kaos. The shiny material offers protection against the elements. As a bonus, the smooth surface makes it easy to clean and maintain.
Perforation vents are present on the vamp and quarters. They aid in heat dissipation and moisture regulation. The inside is covered in a soft cloth that helps in moisture regulation and prevention of hot spots.
Secure wrap
The Kaos uses two types of locking mechanisms: the TECNO-3 SYSTEM and the caliper buckle. The caliper buckle works with the soft instep closure, which is a broad strap that evenly distributes pressure on the instep. The strap can be adjusted on both ends, so the foam pad is centered.
As for the TECNO-3 SYSTEM, it ensures a secure wrap with a turn of the dial. The buckle has buttons on the side which can be used for micro-adjustments to achieve optimal foothold and comfort.
Thin foam insole
A thin foam insole lines the inside of the footwear. It prevents the foot from sliding inside while pedaling to avoid chafing and blisters.
