    Well, at least you got a lot of fresh air and open scenery about

    How was the storm for you guys? Or perhaps you weren't even in the area when it hit...

    Meanwhile, back on topic......

    Just to clarify waterproofness - I'm not expecting anything like waders for adv riding. It's mainly to stop rain & the splashes of "shallow" water crossings that I'm looking for, especially for winter rides.
    I have checked out some of the trails / atv boots mentioned in this topic & most are waterproof, suitable for road & gravel & OK even for walking a fair distance. But my priority is strength & rigidity in an off (MX type) with benifit of being waterproof, or am I asking too much?
    So I'm still looking (more suggestions please) but in the meantime will just keep on wearing plastic bags inside my MX boots.

    Plastic bags are very under-rated.

    $8.80 it cost to get legal!

    I'm shocked. Shocked I say.



    By "legal" I mean carrying the new number plate and reg around in my jacket pocket today.

    From the trials riders perspective,again - these are the guys who spend more time in water than any other motorcyclist,walking a section means walking where the bike will go...usually through any water available.They gave up on waterproof a long time ago...water resistant,but never waterproof.As I mentioned - I use Gaerne waterproofing cream on my boots before riding in the wet....and again the next time I need to use them in water....and next time,I water proof them again.

    Or use plastic bags.
