Avoid the dri-rider boots. The synthetic upper cracks easily (< 18 months old) then leaks like a sieve.

Don't know what the fuss it about guys. If the cow eats grass does that not make him a vegetarian anyway?
This a wind up right???? vegetarian??,synthetic boots?? mate shouldn't you be on the bloody greenpeace forum or something else equally gay?
I don't think greenpeace would know much about bike boots. No its not a wind up, I knew id get some bigoted single minded fuckwits replying to this so say what you want.

My Alpinestars SMX Plus boots are made from Lorica and are in better condition than a pair of leather Dainese boots bought at the same time 6 years ago.
I haven't crashed in them though.

A 9.5 year old thread resurrected. Must be record of some sort.
hah!
well it did not take long to find real proof, here is a bloke from down under, 3 years old though
I am so impressed with the performance of the Rukka pants that took the brunt of the fall and slide I returned them to the Australian agent with a letter of appreciation. If you went to the Rukka/Innotesco stall at the World Superbikes, you would have seen my pants on display.

and will only get better with new tech, I bet Temper foam are not made of leather

personally I only ride using Rukka and have crashed a few times, with excellent results
finding non leather 10 years ago you were pretty hardcore trying to find it
as more people opt in for vegan/new materials more money will flow to develop new materials with higher level of protection and performance
if anyone still get injured I do recommend new series with Tony Stark of things coming

vegan is pretty new but real and not all fancy stuff, here is a talk from a bloke from down under, former sniper, who used to run over animals for fun

hi tech materials for bikers is not a bad thing so keep an eye open when you select your new gear, probably many have already bought new materials, not knowing about it
Cheers
