SIDI ADVENTURE 2 BOOTS riding gear we use can
THE turn a miserable trip into a fun trip . I can remember riding in the rain and just getting soaked to the bone with a leather jacket and blue jeans . Inevitably , the temp would drop , and then I would be cold and wet , getting as close to the engine as possible trying to get some heat . When I started wearing Gortex riding suits and boots , it completely changed the trip . Now I felt as if I was cheating , somehow beating Mother Nature . Today I want to talk to you about one piece of gear that helps to accomplish that and much more . Riding boots come in all flavors and sizes ; some are nothing more than boots or shoes that offer no more protection than a pair of cowboy boots , some even less . Then there are different steps up the protection range , all the way

to full-on motocross boots . If you have ever tried MX boots , then you know they are not comfortable for walks in the park , but are as strong of a boot as you can find . Somewhere in the middle area is where most who are concerned about protection find themselves . Even with all this protection , if it rains , you get wet . This is not so bad until it gets cold , then the fun stops . I know of people who have bought waterproof cowboy boots , only to fill them with water . While others wear hiking boots , only to have the tops exposed , and then water wicks down the socks and into the shoe . It seems most waterproof footwear is better at keeping water in than keeping it out ; now , if we could only combine protection , comfort , and waterproofness into one boot .
I have found said boot for myself . Meet the Sidi Adventure 2 boot . It joins the protection , comfort , and waterproofness in an acceptable combination . They are not so protective that you walk like a toy soldier , but they give good ankle and shin protection with a semi-stiff midsole so you can still walk
