Haven’t had a chance to take these riding yet but when I received them I was really impressed. These are good looking boots. After trying them on and walking around in them, very comfortable as well. They are very stiff around the ankle but surprisingly easy to walk in with the double joint. Only time will tell if they hold up but I have no reason to think that they won’t.
When I first got these, they had some hot spots so I took em to the local ski shop for a fitting. $20 later they're literally custom fit for my feet.
Took em riding like an absolute idiot later that day. My feet, ankles, and shins were the only parts of me that didn't hurt at the end of the ride. Field tested the over-extension protection when I caught my toe and my foot pivoted on the peg. Tested impact protection on feet & shins eating lose stones when I was following.
Surprisingly water resistant as well, went through more than one puddle - pants sprayed but feet stayed dry until it started raining on the way home.
These are my first set of big-boy off road boots, so I don't have much to compare them against, but I'm very happy with the purchase, and feel much much much more protected than when I wear my Adventures.
as another review said Brian at atomic is great. Called twice to make sure of order details. On his advise Ordered a size 10 with is what I wear in Garne SG12. These fit tighter. I would say I'm a larger size 10. But an 11 would probly b too big. Nice and snug, feel broken in as soon as u put them on. They are tight around knee brace. I wear leatt x brace. Made a slight modification to shin guard and they are perfect,
Great boots and awesome service from atomic. Very impressed with the Forma predator 2.0s.
I have several sets of Forma boots. The quality, fit and features are excellent. These Predators at $339 are $200 less than compatible boots and in many ways better than those other boots regardless. I also own the water proof Forma Terra boots and they have become my go to boot for wet PNW riding. Forma'sare top of the line boots and Atomic is a great company to work with. Win/win.
Love working with Atomic, to assure my US foot finds a correct EU boot!
Atomic Moto is the best! Thank you Brian.
I worked with Brian and he recommended a couple boots for my requirements and the SG22 was purchased at the size he mentioned. It feels so good and my first 2hr ride was excellent and the boots were very comfortable and good feel. I will put a different insert from a hiking shoe in the boots and then they will be perfect.
My second Klim helmet. Lightweight, well ventilated and most of all, good quality. I damaged the first one in a nasty crash but it did its job and I suffered no head or neck Injuries.
This is a limited review. I bought these boots online guided by other reviews. I wear a 42 in all TCX boots, but the chart put in a 43. I walked around the house for a couple of hours and they felt fine. I am hoping these boots will be my hot weather boots since the WP TCX boots can feel a bit stuffy in the hottest days. I love my TCX Drifter boots and these boots feel similar...maybe a little more roomy.
