After I had the chance to test them both, Sidi Adventure 2 for almost a year and REV'IT! Expedition H2O in the last two weeks I am ready to share my experience. The Sidi I tested in many situations even on my last trip to Australia and New Zeland. I have no doubts that they are great boots and deserve their reputation. On the other hand the REV'IT! are new to me and so far I have only positive impressions. After I rode it on sunny, rain, cold days, basically everything between 5 and 17 degrees I can confirm that they also deserve to be on the winner's podium. In my opinion, they are a few levels better in terms of build quality and protection. A big minus, and not for everyone could be the price - 600 euros, compared to Sidi around 300 euros. So my conclusion is that both are excellent motorcycle riding boots and both will do the job just perfectly.

Good, fair, and honest review and comments... and you’re right, you will have to really put these pair to the road trip challenge.
Looking forward to your long term review...
Thanks, Derek!
Thanks for the review.. I’m super happy with my adv2. I ride in 35+c weather and they breathe well, and stay dry crossing rivers.
As usual, an excellent detailed review and, I agree with your conclusion. Keep up the good work. Best. G.
A good honest review Pavlin, thank you. It will be interesting to see how the Revit boots perform over the next few years, they look very tough :)
Yes, Phil, they looks tough, but the time test will show us the reality.
Thanks Pavlin. A very timely topic for me. Much appreciated!
You are welcome anytime!
Pevlin can't believe how clean and new your motorcycle looks even though it has gone through hell and back.
and never clean it...
Very honest review, I liked it. Thanks for sharing. I personally have the Sidi Adventure 1, very happy, still working fine and amazingly still waterproof.
Great to hear!
Absolutely fantastic review, thanks alot, I love the clips you guys make!!! Directly from the street..
Much appreciated!
I have the BMW Gravel boots. Have tens of thousands of km on them in all conditions and all temperatures. Very happy with them.
Good to know, thanks for taking the time David!
Since 1993 i only Daytona Trans Open GTX and i can say it is the Most reliable boot i‘ve ever used in more than 34 year of traveling around different countries and roads.
I also appreciate your Channel and how you provide the information to your subscribers.
I like Daytona boots, but they are very expensive and the protection is not so good.
There i cannot agree with you. 430€ is More than a Little less than 600€ for the Revit, and daytona safety is First quality, also made in Germany, :)
Love the boxing intro. ;)
I am glad you made this video, it made me rethink the boots I was planning on getting. Now I am going to get the Airtech EVO Gore-Tex boots.
Glad I could help!
@@motorcycleadventures The other boots did not have much protection compared to the ones I selected, and could afford. I looked at both boots on the video, but they are a little more expensive than I can afford right now. So I went for a lower cost boot, but better protection than the other boot I was going to get.
One of the best revues i have ever seen. Danke!
Glad to hear that!
Exactly excellant
Hahaha, I instantly liked the video. You're awesome !!
Thanks!
My feet: “I think I am gonna love that Rev’it”
My wallet: “I hate it already”
😂😂😂
Well, they are what they are. Definitely not for every wallet.
Thanks for the review Pevlin I am just starting to look for replacements for my current boots. They are getting pretty worn and I want to be ready for next years riding season.
I am glad that the video helps!
nice review, the material on Rev'it is the same like climbing boots have and BOA system is very durable, have it on biking, hiking or even ski boots and work on all of them like a butter, nice review, cheers V!
Good to know.
Thank you for this review, great help (Y) Safe riding!
My pleasure!
Hey pavlin you rocks again with your very ballance and honest opinion, keep it up big brother
Thanks, man!
@@motorcycleadventures bro getting reply from you is also a very pleasant thing, wish see you soon in india
Servus Pavlin I think you have alot to do And you take the Time and answer so nice and so fast. Thank you so mutch.
You are really a. amazingly men
You are welcome anytime Sandro!
Excellent honest review Pavlin, thanks.
Glad to help!
Hi Pavlin
I wish you a. merry Christmastime. and a nice Tour next year
Thank you, Sandro!
Love your honest review. Thank you
You are welcome anytime Paul!
Pavel, you have lost weight since Ozzy trip. Lookin Good my friend, living the life of Adventure is doing you good :))
Yes, I lost about 8 kg. I feel great!
I've had my Sidis for several years. Including a 3 month trip to Ushuaia were I wore them every single day and they've held up totally fine. I had a previous pair. They leaked so Gortex replaced them for free! the Gortex in the boots is guaranteed for the life of the boots. Gortex totally honored their guarantee.
Good!
excellent review. I think you covered all the pros and cons.
Thanks for the boot review. The comparison was fair because it gives a wide range of differences. The price point is scary on the REV'IT. The tightening system I am familiar with, it has been on bicycling riding shoes for many years.
Thanks for watching!
Interesting boot. Only time will tell if all these new boot technologies will do. I certainly think REV'IT has a good chance of positioning the Expedition H20 as one of the most comfortable, safe, and waterproof adventure boots. A boot that doesn't just feel heavy and uncomfortable like most MX boots.
Great review. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time!
Thanks for fair n honest opinion my friend.
My pleasure!
Best real world usage review... Reviews must be like this... We get one shot information about particular product.. I watched many reviews on sidi 2 cortex which I wanted to buy.. in this one video..I confirmed to sure go for sidi...
Cool!
Hi Pavlin, nice vid again and honest. I agree with you on the fragility of the rev’it boot strap system + sorry to say but i would never pay that money for boots with no Gore-Tex membrane.
I ride in the SiDi Adv mk1 for 5 years and over 70.000km now and they are holding up nicely. I must say, that they started to leak after 3 years a bit. I’ve send them to SiDi and they replaced the membrane and the shoe soles because i’ve scarped the outside edges off sinds there are no sliders on the sides like on sports boots. Funny thing was tho, SiDi being Italian’s it took them over 5 months to do this!! 🤨
yeah i can laugh about it now 🤣
Thanks for the information, really helpful. I didn't know that sidi offer this service of repair.
Excellent review thank you 🙏🏼
My pleasure!
Pavlin Thank you for the review , I bought sidi adventure boots a week ago can't wait to try it in the spring, It's probably not the right look for a harley davidson but I take safety over looks .✌
My pleasure Artur! Yes, safety first!
Sold my Harley when the ADV bug took hold. If you get bit by the same bug, your boots will follow you onward!
Great review and honest about everything. I have a pair of Forma boots and again for me it was all about budget and best protection at budget. Love the Sidi boots that is on my next to buy list. The Rev's are just to much bang on the budget, but it look super well built and if you have the money that's what you go for. I will be waiting on the long term review! Great work keep pushing the great content!
Thanks for taking the time!
The REV'IT boots look really great. Of course I recommend anyone try the boots on before buying if possible. Good boots are one of the most important investments someone planning a lot of riding hours can make. The key is comfort for the rider in whatever conditions you ride. If a boot isn't comfortable for you it doesn't matter what anyone else says about it. Bad boots are a distraction from an otherwise great trip. Good boots help make even terrible conditions tolerable. When I got new boots two years ago I had wanted to buy the SIDI adventure 2 boots, but they did not fit my feet comfortably. I ended up getting the Alpinestar Toucan boots. More money than I had planned to spend (about 30% more than the SIDI at the time and place I bought them) but they fit so well and were snug but really comfortable the first time I tried them on. I have used them in several cross country trips including hundreds of miles of dirt and thousands of miles of pavement, from below freezing to 110 deg F (43 deg C), and far too many hours in hard rain. Performed very well and proved to be worth the price.
Also: Really excited to try that Tenere 700 when it finally comes around here.
I absolutely agree with what you said. Best the model that suits you best.
I've just bought the Sidi's after previously using only old-fashioned leather boots with a long zip fastening and velcro calf strap. I've always worn pants tucked into the boots and those zips were prone to getting stuck. The Sidi's have no zips and take around 15 seconds each to put on fasten. Less expensive boots still have zips under velcro even if they are pretty much identical in other regards. $200 AUD for a zipper-less system is well worth the extra expense for the Sidi Adventure 2's.
I was an Aussie postie, and always wore basic leather road boots. I've just resumed the role in country Victoria (in winter) and the old boots proved nearly useless. The Sidi's cost me $650 AUD, but they are comfortable, warm, waterproof, and near bulletproof for my riding needs. I will apply several coats of beeswax to help maintain their finish, but if unmaintained kickabouts like the old Rossi's could handle hard use for years, these boots should last much longer before they become compromised.
Sidi gets my vote . I could never get used to the plastic ski boots, nor the plastic hockey skates that I had, and the REVI'T look to be very similar . For the ski boots and skates I had to go back to the leather . The Sidi look to be more similar to a reinforced leather, but with tech products . Thanks for taking the time to review those products ... looking forward to your long time review to see about durability. Also for very aggressive riding .... REVI'T just may be the best choice .
Whatever suits you!
Sidi was/is a ski boot maker! I love the adventures.
Great review Pailin. I’ve had the Rev’it Discovery boot for about a year with lots of use and the BOA system is still going strong. Apparently it is made from stainless steel in a nylon coat so it will not break. It comes from the ski boot industry. Fingers crossed!
Yes, fingers crossed!
It is very rare for us to get a complaint about the BOA system, it also comes with a lifetime guarantee in case you didn't know.
Very good recension! Thanks
My pleasure!
Thanks for the review Pavlin. I had the quick release mechanism on a pair of boots before. It's a great system and the wire is not an issue, for me the mechanism exploded which was a pain but I'd hope it's stronger on a 700€ pair😁
We all hope the same, but the time will show us.
Well, that's a common situation with BOA, the mechanism itself fails. Sidi have them a lot in their cycling footwear, and you can always find a spare mechanism for every model to buy.
That's probably why they hesitate to put the same closure mechanism in the boots that are constructed with durability in mind and reached for buckles instead.
Whating for long term review.Sidi have review after 10 years in solid shape and steel waterproof,so I go for sidi for now
ruclips.net/video/YAmT_VDROl8/видео.htmlsi=rEt6agrl9CkeN2ZP&t=344
Great honest review Pavlin.
I have found that the one thing that kills off waterproof boots is walking, the constant flexing of the membrane seems to be the issue, some are worse than others but it is always the weak spot,same goes for Gortex jackets, when they first start to leak it is mostly the inner elbow that goes first, and boots it is always the left foot because of the gear lever.
I would honestly not waste my money on waterproof boots, a pair of good MX boots and over boots work so much better at a fraction of the cost, you only have to use the over boots when it rains, the only real advantage with adventure boots is they are lighter, 2.7 Kg for my Sidi as opposed to my tech 7 at 3.3 Kg.
I agree with everything you said.
Well, any watercrossing on mxboots means wet legs for rest of day. Also scouting muddy path comes handy waterproof boots. For now im using Forma Adventure, propably next ones i will try will be Sidi
I use to wear sidi courier boots for work as motorcycle courier in London for 4 years and I love them and now I am going to buy a sidi adventure 2 in gray color. .
Great review, I have great sidi.
I like that you wore a different one on each foot to try difference.
Get some odd looks walking about .
Thanks for taking the time!
Looking forward to the two year review!
Just received my Sidi ADV boots today. Figured out the buckle adjustment & sat on the edge of the bathtub for 1/2 hour with the boots on & hand held shower running.
NO LEAKS.
Will be road riding tomorrow in the rain.
I really wanted the Revit H2O, (recommended by Noraly), but in early 2022, the Sidi is still half the cost of the Revit, so I went with the lower cost boots.
P.S.
I have LL Bean ice crampons with the BOA sys. I love it, & have had no problems with the BOA.
If I out live the Sidi boots, I'll try the Revit H2O next time! (Yeah, I'm old)
Hope you enjoy it!
@@motorcycleadventures Hey Pavlin, you're up late!
I edited my comment, don't know if yt let's you know.
Love you vids, if you are ever in northeast United States you have an open invitation for dinner & lodging in our spare room!
Thanks, man!
Thank you for review I have a BW boots and its good for me pozdrav Pavlin
My pleasure!
Good review. I upgraded from Daytona touring boots to a pair of TCX Drifters for a little more protection. They have a perfect fit on my feet and they are wide enough to fit my calves. After getting used to the stiffer boots I am happy with them. The price and the boa system would keep me from getting the Revít boots.
Whatever suits you.
Hi Max, We can assure you the BOA system is really good. Much easier to use than buckles and you can get a much better fit. The BOA system also has a lifetime guarantee in case of problems. But the BOA system is so strong that it is very rare that a customer has a problem with it. You can read more about it here: www.boafit.com/en-gb/innovation/#pid-1445
this is a big deal breaker for most exhausted riders at the end of the day. thanks for pointing that out!
It sure is!
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome anytime!
but when I actually saw the truth I saw pros and cons for both GREAT VIDEO my friend
Fair enough.
I like a boot with a good high shin guard good ankle and Achilles protection. Revit seems to be better but your right how long will they last??
Nice review mate
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review, thanks for your time and your effort to shear your knowledge.
My pleasure John!
I just got a pair of Rev’It Trail H2O boots, that model seems to be a more comparable price point to the Sidi boots and actually they don’t have some of the potential cons that Pavlin pointed out with the Expedition boots. So far I really like them, though they’re a little bit stiff in the soles brand new. I think that will get better as they get worn in.
Great, enjoy it!
I just ordered the 43 size and it says 43= US10 for rev it and in normal shoe sizes 43= US 9 which is my size.. so i hope they will fit
Hello Pavallin, I didn't watch your video because, I had my exams , but as Dakar Rally has started , I want to know what's your opinion on Dakar Rally and other rally races of bikes as well as four Wheeler's .
Man! Very clear and nice review and good video as usual. I like 14:20, when U show your 1yo boots. I have similar boot but other brand (no advertising :-) ) and the same problem after 2 years its worn out and looks like trash. And it lasts longer???? lol it sounds like "made in China" one week boots. But seriously I hope that this boots (and mine too) will stay waterproof and in one piece for loooong time.
Well...we will see...thanks for taking the time!
I have a pair of combat boots with that same securement system. Yes, the wires seem very thin, but the material is aircraft grade. I've had these combat boots for a little less than 6 years; worn generally 4-5 days per week. It's just now getting to the point that I know I'll have to do a sole replacement within the next year, but the securement system is as good as new. My estimation is that the securement system will likely outlast the life of the boot. It's a great system. As for your review, I thought it was VERY fair. But REV'IT has outpriced themselves for the average working man. It's like putting $10,000.00 wheels and rims on a 1984 Honda Civic. Ain't gonna happen here. The kind of rider who would buy this boot already has sponsors. Thanks for your honesty.
Good to know that the system will last. True, the price is high.
I used the Sidi Adventure for 80.000 km. Very comfy and absolute waterproof. I really love this boot for traveling on tarmac and easy gravel roads. They are still good - even you can see that they are not any longer new. But I am going to replace them. If I would do the same style of riding again in the future, I would get a new pair of the Sidi. But as I plan to do much more offroad and challenging terrain, I need something more protective. The Rev´it sound interesting, as well as the Alpinestars Tech 7.
Thanks for sharing!
Buen video y bonita gorra!!!
Gracias!
How are they doing as of 12/01/20. Just found your channel and love it. Thanks for the video I think you are one of the few that do an honest video. How are the wires holding up. I do have one concern and that is the knob used to tighten the boot , if you hit something on the shin that it will transfer the impact from the plastic shin guard into the knob and to shin bone. I would like to hear your word on how it actually takes a good wack to the shin.
Thanks for taking the time, Marshall! The boots are still very good and I still love it and use it every day. No problems with he knobs. I will do another review after one more year of use. All the best!
Hey amigo - nice review, thanks for posting. Having had BOA on my kids rep-level hockey skates for years I can attest to the longevity... Haven't seen one fail yet and the way they appear tucked behind the front shield I don't foresee anything failing in quite some time. Just my amateur $0.02 CAD.
Thanks for sharing!
Благодаря за ревюто! Сиди е според мен по-удачният вариант, като цена-качество.
Моля!
Hey Pavin great review I normally wear a size 10 in Alpinestars. Should I size up for the Sidi?
No, they fit well.
Thank you. Nice review. In my opinion, are the SIDI Crossfire with GoreTex Socks safer than all.
Thanks for sharing!
The Sidis are slim so they fit under riding jeans nice and easy. The shin protector and other materials are substantial so no fears there. I had Forma Advs and they're a nice boot, but like these revits, they didn't fit under jeans. The Sidis offer more protection than the formas, and my version 1 have lasted some 40,000 miles - love them.
Thanks for the info!
Also you look better in your old jacket. More reliably😉
Nice video :-) .I am waiting on result because I need ADV boots and I am thinking about Revit or Sidi .I hope you will tell us which are better very soon.Thank you ;-)
Hello Pavel thanks for review this boots! Like always very honest and very straight info I have a question about yours jacket can you give me some info about that jacket?
Yes, I made a video about it: ruclips.net/video/VbRFpp05Eoo/видео.html
Thanks , I really appreciate
When you adjust the straps close to the tightest setting on the SIDI, do you find that the buckle doesn't fully clasp?
No, they are fine.
Sidi Midi Goretex more Hello, I am using Vespa gts. I want to buy this boat. Because it will protect my shins in case of an accident. Did I get right? In which season can I wear it? I do not use a scooter in rain and snowy weather. In rainless, hot or cold weather. But I use it especially between May and September. In my country, the temperature between May and September is between 25 and 40 degrees. Do you think summer heat will be a problem with this boot? Is it a problem to have it on my feet in winter or cold months? Will it be a problem for the scooter? What is the difference between suede and leather models? Is the leather model safer and warmer? Thanks
I have Revit Discovery H2O boots, a bit shorter than Expedition, but same wire system, same comfort, protection and much cheaper. Great boots 👍
They use the same quality of the materials, but the protection is way less.
@@motorcycleadventures Good to know, thank you!
What about the size? I have 43(US9) and i bought these size 43 (size 10 apparently in US sizes) are they normal fit?
@@Xavii1986 I wear size 42 normally and that's the size I ordered and it fits me perfectly. Not tight, not loose. But If I wanted to wear warmer socks, I would go half size bigger.
Pavlin as I understood your boots one size bigger , is it ok when you wear light socks or always some termosocks?
It is okay with light socks.
Thank you, спасиб большое,
Hey Pavlin, I'm in for new boots but was wondering how's the Rev'it Expedition holding up? Cheers
They are still great!
I've used cowboy boots and leather enduro boots, but I think I'm going back to skate boots and shin pads.
I like Boa, but it broke when my cycling shoes were worn out.
Good to know.
Thank you for an excellent review. Was the boot size the same for both because looking at the website it seems that a Revit size 43 would be a Sidi size 44. Thank you
That is correct. Always buy one size larger.
Nice vid...After having 1 crash on tarmac last year with the Sidi Adventure I‘d go for the Revit - Why? The sole of the Sidi boot is too high and has too much traction on tarmac. Resulted in my ankle being twisted. A sole with more slide would have prevented that. So in case anyone is considering...maybe relevant ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
Question what about the dry weight of the boots as I’ve found many boots are quite heavy especially once their wet and muddy?
A little bit heavier than Sidi.
I have a pair of mountain shoes, which are over 12 years old with the boa-system. The Boa-system has the same thin wires but they are looking and working like on the first day! They can be underestimated because they look so thin, but my experience is excellent with it.
Thanks for sharing!
I've been using LL Bean crampons for two winters and love the BOA system.
I would like to have boa on my hiking boots!
Good review Pavlin....nice boots but too pricey I think. That's quite a few hundred dollars you could spend on the trip!! Cheers, Steve
Very true!
Hi Pavlin, do you have a long review after some time with the Expedition boots?
Here I talked about it: ruclips.net/video/b8JqqsfEMII/видео.html
I missed this one. Thank you and keep on going with the great content!
Is there some padding between the boa system and your shin?
I’d be worried that the boa system might worsen an injury in the worse case scenario
There is!
Boa is reliable, don’t worry.
Boots will look perfect, even after 30.000 km plus. What I am not sure about is the membrane, but I have to mention, Rev’it always have been very polite and accommodating in the past. Whenever there occurred a problem they fixed it for free.
We are going to switch from Discovery H2O to Expedition H2O, just because of safety reasons.
Hello Pavel from Montréal , I noticed a small steel cable going from the bash plate to the brake pedal, what is the purpose ?
To prevent branches from stuck between the pedal and the engine and pressing the brake pedal.
I guess, this is from past experience,
Hi! Thanks for your videos, they are informative and very useful!
What can you say about waterproofness? On fcmoto people say that revit is not waterproof. I don't want to pay so much money and have not waterproof boots, on the other hand, there are a lot of good reviews about sidi and gore-tex! Please help me to chose the best!
Sidi Adventure 2, after 3-4 hours heavy rain start leaking. REVIT Expedition - 3 days heavy rain not even a drop. You decide.
i wonder how the REV'It boots would feel when its very hot weather ? I mean do they let your feet to breathe? I use sidi armada which are leather core tex adventure/touring boots .. much like sidi adventure but some differences and its very nice even when the weather gets very hot ...core-tex and leather is really nice. For me personally REV'IT boots are too expensive...
They are breathable, but more about it I will be able to share in the summer.
I guess I should buy both, but stuggle to decide shall I put Rev it on my left foot and Sidi to my right foot, or the other way round for best result?
Exactly! 😀
BOA-system I have used on my cycling boots for years. It seems to be reliable. But in case of mechanically damage I do not know if it possible to replace or repair this system by the own.
It is possible.
Nice comparison video, Pavlin. I have Rev`It Gravel OutDry boots (similar style...a bit less protections than the H2O & no BOA system though) that I bought much earlier this year but only just started using very recently. Nice boots & all, good build quality, not sure about its waterproofness because I haven't worn them in the rain. They are comfortable even though they are not quite broken in yet. I do have one problem with them though: the upper interior parts of the boots rub against the side of my calves until my skin was chaffed if I walk with them long enough. I wear about the same length of socks (probably similar materiala too) as you do. Heck, I am also your height (185 cm) & wear the same size Rev`It boots (45) as you do! Are those the type of socks you normally wear for your long trips? Do you get the same problem as I do? Do you normally wear base pants that prevent the boots from rubbing directly against your calves?
Yes, this is the size of the socks I usually wear. It happened a few times to have similar problems. I tried with higher socks, but the pressure from the socks was worst.
Thanks for your reply. Very much appreciated! I guess I'll have to see if it will get better once my boots are fully broken in.
Squeaky Sidis for life❗✌
I would be interested on the longevity of both boots.
I got the sidi last week because I couldn't justify the price for the Revit.
The rest of my riding gear is from Revit (husqvarna).
I have watched most of your videos and enjoyed watching them.
Keep going and safe travels.
Depend on the way you use them but they will last more or less the same.
@Motorcycle Adventures
Thank you for the quick reply,
I use the bike for small day trips, for in town I use forma adventure midi more comfortable less protective.
If all goes as planned beginning of May a trip to komotini trough Bulgaria 🇧🇬.
Good luck on your trip, man!
I can't imagine what paramedics will do if you crash your motorcycle and they need to take your boots off.
Seeing how much plastic is used in the Rev it, do you think it's possible to cut open?
They will cut it for sure.
what trousers are you wearing
Compliment. Nice video
Hi, wouldn't it better to compare the Sidi Adventure 2 with Revit Discovery H2O.
These are the boots that I have and I use.
Its a good honest review, however, as an adventure rider myself I will wait for you to come back to these boots in a years time so that you can identify the faults. I am prepared to put the money into the boots but I currently have two buckles like on your old boots and I do not want to change, the revit ball looks complicated and I am not sure it will stand the test of time. For more than double the price will you get more than double the boot?, I am not sure, I think the price is a little steep. Anyway, looking forward to your next vid. Take care and Keep Riding :))
Yes, as I said I am also very curious to know the result.
Hi Alex, We can assure you the BOA system is really good. Much easier to use than buckles and you can get a much better fit. The BOA system also has a lifetime guarantee in case of problems. But the BOA system is so strong that it is very rare that a customer has a problem with it. You can read more about it here: www.boafit.com/en-gb/innovation/#pid-1445
Do you have opinion on Gaerne Dakar? Which one you will choose Gaerne Dakar vs Sidi adventure?
I never try them, cannot say.
So how is your long-term experience with the Rev'it boots? I considered these for a brief moment, then I went with something a little less expensive. In my experience, nothing can really beat leather abrasion-wise. Of course, that material is very expensive. But you could basically combine it with Goretex, bolt as much plastic protection as you want to it. It is stiff in the beginning, it requires breaking in. On all of my motorcycle boots, I preferred exchangeable buckles (I used ADV boots before that even was a thing). Never lost any buckles, held up really well. With that wire stuff...had a pair of hiking boots. Guess what happened....maybe I operated the BOA system one time too often. Anyways, maybe BOA has been improved and you have more luck.

Ако мога да питам, Sidi Adventure сравнено със Sidi Adventure 2 ... Дали си заслучава да се вземе 2-ката ?
Мисля, че вече няма от къде да намериш първия модел. 2 ката е от микрофибър, а не от кожа, като sidi 1 и мембраната е малко по-висока. Всичко друго си е същото, и скърцането даже.
Looks like a nice shoe but the lacing system is a huge concern for me. I've had multiple BOA shoe systems, (snowboard boots and road cycling shoes) both gave out at some point rendering the boot/shoe useless until BOA sent me a replacement (takes about a week). Another issue that I had is that the BOA systems tend to get loose during the ride, requiring constant adjustment and re-tightening. Finally, sometimes the BOA mechanism would get stuck in the closed position, making it impossible to take off the shoe (happened several times on different shoes), extremely frustrating. BOA is a great idea but poorly designed. I would hate for this to happen on a big adventure trip, wouldnt take a $700 risk, or even a $300 risk.
Valid arguments! Let's see how long they are going to last.
i don't think this will happen with motorcycle shoes because with motorcycle shoes the boa is set stable against a hard surface but with cycling and snowboarding it is against fabric which is soft and will give some space with time. i tried it for 1 year now no problems but i dont like them because it takes longer to close and open and it makes noises when u open and close and it is kind of awkward to open in public or close
We will see...
Agree completely.
Great video ! Can anyone comment which boots are better suited for wide feet ?
