I have only got one pair of motorcycle boots, a light pair designed for summer and not really waterproof With the forecast last week end for the Yorkshire Run I did 100 mile round trip to Harlow on Thursday to buy these at £20 After riding all day on Friday in heavy non stop rain my feet and boots were bone dry on arrival - great investment and recommended unlike my helmet which was wet inside - I left the air vent open

I was meaning to ask you if they worked ,now I know I had an oxford rainseal jacket in my top box I did'nt put it on because my coat was keeping me dry wish I had now as the waterproofing failed on the way home, my leggings worked mostly, only the seat area leaked and my gloves were sodden .I've ordered some waterproofing stuff so I can reproof everything .Just to show how much it rained my jacket looks like it's been in the washing machine it's spotless

My Friday pair of gloves are still soaking

for the sake of £20 I'm going to get myself a pair of the over boots
Daves jacket was really useful to me on saturday, easy to check if everyone was still together
