I got a pair of Stylsafes from Lou at AMPS (via here) for just over $400...they are the best boot I have ridden in..have stood in ankle deep rain under a bridge in Auckland during a "shower" and feet stayed dry.

Love these boots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the quick reply, the Alpines are coming up trumps for ankle protection compared to the Stylmartins - how tough are the ankles on the Stylmartins?

I've got a ride out / road race on saturday which I'm not going to loose but it might involve an off or two...:innocent:

Goretex in general is GOOD! I have a pair of their Goretex gloves and it does the trick :)

Ended up going with the Stylmartin's after the positive reviews from this site.

Thanks again everyone!

Now gotta get the gloves sorted...

my 2c worth.................if you are doing some racing..get some race gloves for that and a pair of other gloves for road riding....

Road gloves...Revit Celcius are a great winter glove..so warm without being too bulky. Had a pair of Neo Storm which were great for waterproof and warmth but the damn things were falling apart in 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info, where did you get the Revit Celcius from and how much were they?
