Alpinstar Tech 5 are Super comfortable, true to size. Great protection for the kind of riding I do (mild offroad) Brian is the Man when it comes to gear, he knows the right questions to ask and advises on what will work for you. Thanks for all your help Brian !
Atomic Moto was right on target. These are very nice boots. They have much more protection that my previous mx style boots and because of that I was worried that they were going to be too stiff. I just wore them around the house for a couple hours and was good to go. In fact I was able to shift better with these than my old broken in (and broken down) boots. Lots of internal padding also made the Tech 5s comfortable for all day riding. Spot on Atomic Moto!!!
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.
Ended up getting a call to confirm my order, that turned into 100 dollars off price for choosing a different color.
I’d say that was Worth the call ! Customer service matters. You won’t get that from a big box store. Imma Happy man
