Voelkl Primus 22

EN ISO 15090:2012 F2A HI3 CI AN WR HRO SRC — Lacing boot with quick-entry zip, Sympatex® Moisture-Tec® membrane, RFID and double flex zone. Ref. 33322 | Sizes 36–50.

Voelkl Professional — Germany

The Primus 22 is a lacing structural fire boot with a quick-entry Nomex lacing system and emergency opener — combining the secure fit of lacing with the rapid donning speed of a zip entry. Its Sympatex® Moisture-Tec® membrane holds inside-shoe temperature increase to only +5°C under thermal load. RFID technology, washable memory foam insole, double flex zone for stability, and a full complement of EN 15090 protective ratings — including WR (water resistance) and HRO (outsole heat resistance) — make the Primus 22 a full-specification structural fire boot.

Key Features

Nomex Quick-Entry Lacing

Flame-resistant Nomex laces with emergency opener for rapid release under operational conditions. Dividable zip allows easy cleaning of the boot interior.

Sympatex® Moisture-Tec® Membrane

Waterproof and breathable lining with 3D mesh upper edge for optimised airflow — holds inside-shoe temperature to +5°C increase.

Double Flex Zone

Reinforced upper flexibility with double flex zone in heel and instep — provides maximum stability without sacrificing mobility on uneven terrain.

Full EN 15090 Rating

Carries WR (water resistance), HRO (outsole heat resistance), HI3, CI, AN and SRC — a full structural rating complement for interior attack environments.

RFID Technology

Integrated RFID for boot identification, PPE inspection records and service life tracking across brigade fleets.

Exchangeable Zip System

The zip system is exchangeable — a service feature that extends boot life by allowing replacement of the entry mechanism rather than the whole boot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Primus 22 and the Voelkl ONE lacing boot?

Both carry similar F2A structural ratings with Sympatex® Moisture-Tec® membrane. The Primus 22 (Ref 33322) has a 23 cm shaft height and weighs approximately 1,150 g. The Voelkl ONE (Ref 33331) has a taller 29 cm shaft and weighs approximately 1,370 g — providing more leg coverage for interior attack. The Primus 22 offers a more compact profile suited to environments where lower shaft height is preferred.

Can the zip be replaced without replacing the boot?

Yes. The Primus 22 features an exchangeable zip system — the zip can be replaced by an authorised service partner, extending the operational life of the boot without requiring full replacement. Contact us for Voelkl service options in your country.

Is the Primus 22 rated for water resistance (WR)?

Yes. The Primus 22 carries WR (water resistance) rating under EN ISO 15090:2012 — the boot is tested to resist water penetration under defined conditions. The Sympatex® Moisture-Tec® membrane provides the internal waterproof barrier, while the full-grain leather upper adds an additional moisture barrier.

What does HRO mean on the Primus 22 certification?

HRO (Heat Resistant Outsole) means the outsole has been tested to resist brief contact with hot surfaces. This rating confirms the outsole maintains integrity when in contact with surfaces at defined high temperatures — an important protection characteristic for interior structural firefighting where floors may be superheated.
