Boots are awesome. Confidence inspiring. It is taking some adjustment for shifting and rear braking but not a big deal. Taking a bit for break-in but better every time I put them on. Brian’s advice was spot for me. I am no pro but with these boots I feel much more connected to the bike! Best price I found and arrive on time as promised.
With Atomic Motos help with sizing I ended up with a great fitting boot that has very good protection and comfort very happy with my purchase.
I've only put a couple of gas tanks on these boots so far, but they were immediately comfortable right out of the box. The 4 buckles and velcro at the top all made the fit easy to customize to my foot. The flex feels really natural and creates a much wider range of motion that I expected, but still feels stiff and supportive everywhere. Thank you, Brian for the recommendation! I didn't know much about Gaerne before chatting, and I'm really glad you suggested I look into them. Thanks!
Purchased the Jarvis White and the black wore both around the shop for a couple of hours (everyone said hard to break in ) we went on a four day trip and wore them almost all day each alternating days they’re great no tight spots and the Gaerne buckles are way better than my previous brand Highly recommended
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.
