What certification does the Voelkl ONE firefighting boot carry?

The Voelkl ONE is certified to EN 15090:2012 F2A HI3 HO3 CI SRC WR FO AN — the highest structural firefighting classification. This covers contact heat resistance to 300°C (HO3), heat insulation through the sole (HI3), cold insulation to −17°C (CI), waterproofing (WR), slip resistance on both ceramic and steel (SRC), fuel oil resistance (FO) and ankle protection (AN).

What makes the Voelkl ONE suitable for structural firefighting?

The Voelkl ONE combines full-grain 2.2 mm bovine leather with a Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort waterproof breathable liner, steel anti-penetration midsole (1,100 N rated) and a rubber outsole resistant to 300°C contact heat. The steel toe cap is rated to 200 J impact. Together these features meet the full EN 15090 F2A requirement for structural firefighting boots used in building fires.

Is the Voelkl ONE available in the UAE, Oman and Egypt?

Yes. Fire and Rescue Tech is the authorised Voelkl distributor for the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and sub-Saharan Africa. We supply the Voelkl ONE to fire brigades and civil defence agencies in the region, including bulk procurement, sizing packs and certification documents for tender submissions.

How does the Voelkl ONE compare to the Voelkl Leutnant Pro?

The Voelkl ONE (750 g/boot) is the heavier, higher-protection structural firefighting boot — F2A rated with full HI3/HO3 heat insulation, CI cold insulation and AN ankle protection. The Voelkl Leutnant Pro (550 g/boot) is a lighter tactical boot with BOA® fast-lace, designed for fire officers and technical rescue teams who need rapid donning and agility. Choose the ONE for structural firefighting; choose the Leutnant Pro for officer duties and technical rescue.
