Technical Details
Why Choose the HAIX Protector Forest 2.1 GTX?
HAIX is a German bootmaker with deep roots in military and emergency-services footwear, and that engineering pedigree carries through to the Protector Forest range — the HAIX Climate System and 2-Zone Lacing are refinements built for professionals on their feet all day, not generic forestry boot features. If you prefer a lower-profile fit, see the Protector Forest 2.1 GTX Mid below.
Compare Protector Forest 2.1 GTX vs Mid
| Feature | Protector Forest 2.1 GTX (this boot) | Protector Forest 2.1 GTX Mid |
|---|---|---|
| Boot Height | Full height, ≈22cm leg | Mid-height, lower profile |
| Protection Class | Class 2 (24 m/s) | Class 2 (24 m/s) |
| Best For | Maximum ankle and lower-leg support | Lighter feel, more flexibility at the ankle |
Certified Protection Explained
EN ISO 17249:2013 + AC:2014 is the European standard for chainsaw-resistant safety footwear; Class 2 means the boots are rated for chain speeds up to 24 m/s. EN ISO 20345:2011 is the general safety footwear standard — the code SB E HRO HI CI WR FO WRU SRC breaks down as: SB (basic safety with toe cap), E (energy absorption at the heel), HRO (heat-resistant outsole), HI (insulation against heat), CI (insulation against cold), WR (water resistant), FO (fuel oil resistant sole), WRU (water-resistant upper), and SRC (slip resistant on ceramic and steel). CE 0193 confirms independent certification body approval.

FAQs
What does the safety code SB E HRO HI CI WR FO WRU SRC mean?
Each letter code confirms a specific tested feature — toe protection, heel energy absorption, heat/cold insulation, water resistance and slip resistance. Together they show the boot passes multiple safety tests beyond chainsaw protection alone.
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, via the Gore-Tex® Performance lining, which is both waterproof and breathable.
Can I add extra grip for icy or timber-heavy conditions?
Yes, optional GRIP+ screw-in metal spikes are available for additional traction.
What's the difference between this and the Mid version?
This is the full-height boot with more ankle and lower-leg support. The Mid version has a lower profile for a lighter, more flexible feel.
