The Primus family is growing: Primus 21 ESD is born!
VÃLKL ® proudly presents the new Primus 21 ESD: dissipative (according to DIN EN 61340-4-3:2002), and certified according to the ESD classes 1-3.Primus 21 ESD protects people and technology: As we know, the fire brigades of the chemical and petrochemical industry are exposed to certain risks and therefore have special requirements. Traditionally, certified fire-fighting boots have not fulfilled the requirements for highly explosive atmospheres and protection against electrostatic discharge. The new Primus ESD (electrostatic discharge) is our latest product that dutifully meets these special needs.
Primus 21 and more: Just like our Primus 21, the Primus 21 ESD features high quality, comfort and lightness. The characteristic VÃLKL injection-moulded soling for fire-fighting boots allows us to offer you an easy and highly absorbant companion for your missions. By developing a new rubber and PU blend, our Primus 21 ESD satisfies more than what is required by the current fire-fighting boots Universal Classification Standard (EN 15090:2006) by also offering the ESD Class 1-3 for electrostatic discharge (according to DIN EN 61340-4-3:2002).
Furthermore, you will benefit from the proven advantages of our VÃLKL Primus 21 Sympatex membrane. A pleasant foot environment, easy maintenance and a perfect fit are just some of the properties that make it worth your while to learn more by exploring our primus webpage.

Safe lifes with VÃLKL Rescue: the new VÃLKL® range for ambulance services
The moment has arrived: VÃLKL proudly presents the new VÃLKL Rescue Klett (Velcro) and VÃLKL Rescue Zip. With these models, we offer perfect companion for long duration missions in all weather conditions.
- Breathability and insulation: The newly developed internal design optimizes the airflow and makes the shoe thus extremely breathable. The injection-moulded PU / rubber sole design allows an optimal insulation from very hot or very cold temperatures. In this way this boot concept could assert itsself in the winter testing and in mediterranean temperatures. In addition, the processing of waterproof materials (waterproofed leathers, water-repellent textiles and sewing thread) guarantees dry feet.
- Lightness and damping: The incection moulded sole, typical for all VÃLKL products,is made of a thin, highly abrasion-resistant rubber layer and is completely filled with a thick layer of light polyurethane. This allows the production of a lightweight, flexible ambulance boot with a pleasant tread thanks to the extremely strong damping.
The result are two lightweight and comfortable boots, certified according to EN20345 S3, that defy any burden in the emergency service.
