What waterproof winter sports boot? - SV650.org

northwind · 31-07-05, 10:46 PM

My Vertebra IIs are taking a pounding from all-weather, all-year riding (and crashing) and aren't all that waterproof at the best of times... So I'm looking for inexpensive, but decent, waterproof boots. My limit's £100 I think, which does limit the options a bit...

I can get a pair of Sidi Tepor Ways for £57 from TWO mag, but they don't seem too well protected to me after the Vertebras. They're serious contenders though. I'd sooner get a pair of Vertebra Tepors but beggars can't be choosers... There's a couple of Oxtar options at £80-£90. No boots in HG that caught my eye to be honest...

my oxtars are briliant! just chuck some dubbing on them and get some of those silly little welly covers. save yourself a fortune!

What flavour of Oxtars? And will they be less than that £57?

I picked up some real nice Dianese's in a sale last year. Try www.bikestop.co.uk They are warm, waterproof and REALLY comfortable

I like my SIDI Blackrain's for the wet stuff (not that I go out in it that often

) - they're good boots for the dosh

Yep, I'm really impressed with Blackrains. Comfy and waterproof still after nearly a year.

the problem with blackrains is they split quite easily and let every drop of water in after that.

Sidi Blackrain for me too - comfy and waterproof ( and suprisingly for a pair of Sidi`s they dont squeak )

I only got my Blackrain's a few months ago but they leak like buggery...
