Picked this one up on the recommendation of Chris on staff. So far, it's help shield me from the worst of my highway riding and it's lasted me multiple hour rides without feeling uncomfortable. The modularity is great for scooting around the neighborhood and I like the interior sun visor so I can toggle depending on the weather.
I purchased these boots because of the very detailed reviews that the owner does on the products that they sell. His review of the Gaerne Fastback Boot is spot on. Very comfortable with good hinge movement.
Extremely light and well vented. Easy on the neck
It is so tight around the ankle it will leave a bruise. Maybe I’ve big ankle bones.
So far it has been difficult to contact Atomic in order to determine what my options are.
Great boots, comfortable right out of the box. Only thing I did strip out one side of one of the backing plates for the adjustable straps.
