Chart was accurate on sizing. Jacket fits great and is very comfortable.
Well, I finally got out and tested my new jacket. I spent a day riding from a low elevation of 70F up into the snow and back down multiple times with a huge temperature change and workout intensity. The new vent system is awesome. Takes less than 30 seconds to stop and open and close the vents giving exceptional ventilation and comfort.
I have had a Dakar jacket for close to 10 years now it has been absolutely perfect I love the versatility having the option to take the sleeves off. I ride without a chest protector and sure like having the jacket on or at least the vest to help prevent or minimize tree branches and the like from impelling me as I rip the single track stuff thru the woods. So I just replaced my old jacket with a new one because my old zipper was getting a bit tired and hard to to get started to zip close. Once zipped no issues. Really look forward to using my new jacket this summer.
Oh ya fantastic service from Atomic Moto!
The fit was right on. Some 10.5s are a bit snug but these 45s, for me, seem between a 10.5 and an 11. The form is what I was looking for; a slim sole and toe along with ankle protection that doesn't restrict a little flex. 4 and a half stars on the functions of riding and walking and
staying dry. Easy to adjust to shifting and braking feel, good support standing on pegs, no hint of a leak when submerged, only a knock on the left boot sole not being perpendicular to the upper. Kinda throws off my gait and stresses my knee a bit. Your mileage may vary.
Brian was super communicative and helpful. His videos reviewing boots were crucial in helping make my decision. The Sidis are excellent. So light, stiff where it counts and comfortable. I would have never known that these work for wider feet without Brian's review as well.
very stiff boot that is going to take a bit to break in. Compared to the X-3, they are not as comfortable but have more protection around the calf. I bought these for my wife, who is 5'4" with 16" calves. They fit her great and have room around the calf to spare. I took a star off from 5 because the top buckle strap is inside the boot with nothing between the strap and your leg. All my other boots have the strap between the liner and the shin pad.
These pants are super comfortable, have lots of pockets and vents to keep you from overheating when it gets warm. I ride in the mountains so the temperature changes with the change in altitude. These pants just plain work.
Tons of vents, lots of pockets, padding where you want it. Doesn’t flap in the wind because it has cinches in the arms. It has a removable liner for warmer days too.
I don’t think I will wear anything else.
