We always knew that BBZ6000 would be a hard act to follow but we also knew that by continually researching and developing new ideas we could produce an even better product. One with immense visual impact and bristling with innovation. One which would pick up on the amazing success of BBZ6000 and take the EN S5 neoprene/rubber safety boot concept which we pioneered in 2008 on to new horizons.
BBZ8000 uses a completely different assembly process from its older brother, BBZ6000 plus a host of new safety features and lightweight components. In addition it's 360ยบ reflective, non-metallic and has built in EN certified ankle impact protection (AN) and Achilles support.
BBZ8000 features a super lightweight nano safety toecap, a lightweight anti-penetration midsole and a weight saving sole bonding process. It's comparable in weight to its moulded polyurethane competitors and just like its older brother it fits like a glove, not like a tube.
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
BBZ8000 and BBZ9000 have both passed the EN 13832-2:2018 Type U (upper protection) tests which measure chemical resistance to n-heptane (equivalent to diesel), 30% hydrogen peroxide and 13% sodium hypochlorite (bleach/chlorine bleach).
