Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Motorcycle Boot

Product Information

To make such a heavy and rigid boot more comfortable, Sidi has included a hinge on the ankles which allows the ankle to flex when walking and moving on the pegs. Equipped with the world famous Gore-Tex highly breathable and waterproof membrane to add a waterproof yet highly breathable barrier between the elements and the rider's feet. The Gore-Tex membrane breathes more than any other membrane thus the rider's feet will stay cooler in warm weather with a Gore-Tex equipped boot.

My recommendation is that you give the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots a good thought if you’re looking for just one pair of motorcycle boots to suit your year-round weather needs.Before getting into the details, a short list of key features of the Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots includes: So, I’ve owned two pairs of the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots over the last three years, and I have put these Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots from Sidi through our long-term testing and reviewing paces. The extra 7cm in height that the extended gaiter provides (new for this incarnation) is also a welcome addition, providing you with more coverage when standing in shallow rivers and puddles, or when you’re being sprayed with surface water by the vehicle in front of you. And in recently wearing the REV’IT! Discovery Outdry and the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots interchangeably with the same over-pants, the simple high-top no-padded trimmed Sidi boots provide slightly better accommodation for pants worn inside the boot. During heavy downpour these kept me completely dry on many occasions. Unlike my previous boots, Forma they would leave my feet wet under heavy downpours. I've learned my lesson always Goretex. It's water proof and breathable.

As touched upon before, the Sidi Adventure 2 boots make use of a Gore-Tex lining to keep the wet stuff out, and in thousands of miles of use they’ve not leaked on me once. They can get a little stuffy in warmer climates, but I didn’t feel too uncomfortable riding through temperatures of around 36C in Morocco. Forma Adventure boots ( review): boots fit a tad small with an average-sized foot bed, so go up by one size (get them HERE and HERE at best prices) For more than 40 years Sidi motorycle boots have been worn by some of the most awesome motorcycling legends the world has ever seen. Names like Giacomo Agostini, Joel Robert and Steve Baker, from a golden era of bikesport, have won domestic and world titles, all wearing Sidi boots. Couple past success with the current leading riders, heroes like Alex Barros, Colin Edwards and Stefan Everts, who all benefit from Sidi's class-leading bike boot technology, and you have a company which has a racing heritage second to none - and it's still a family-run business! As the family say themselves, Sidi is..."A brand proud of decades-long history, we have added a passion for style that only two-wheel riders have". This understanding of both the bike market, and the needs of today's motorcyclist is highly apparent in every single pair of Sidi motorcycle boots in production today. Between the Cambrelle liner and Gore-Tex insert, a near perfect foot environment is created to cushion and comfort the feet, manage the moisture generated by the feet and also to keep the external moisture at bay. Water Resistance and BreathabilityAlthough not always deemed to be as “open” as a tongue-based boot, the full gaiter, along with the large over-flap closure and new calf-area expandable section, provides the means to wear your pants on the inside, depending on your calf size of course. Alternatively, with the gaiter folded and the over-flap tightened, most pant or over-pants can be worn on the outside of the boot (my preferred arrangement). A large frontal PU (polyurethane) shin plate is located above the instep flex section, keeping the upper ankle and (sensitive) shins protected from frontal and lateral assaults due to flying objects or semi-immovable things that seem to jump out into your path. I’ve pretty much worn my Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots all year round, including during winter and summer, and these Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots are undoubtedly the kind of motorcycle boots to be four-season apt. These inserts on the “bike side” of the boots also provide better feel for the rider especially when standing on the pegs. Suede absorbs surface moisture to minimize slippery water buildup, so grip or friction is maintained. Nous expédions de Montréal, et Kamloops et Golden en Colombie-Britannique.

Lastly, the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots implement a light-reflective panel across their rear (above the heel-cup armor), which I found to really light up at nighttime for enhanced visibility to surrounding traffic. Summarizing rider protection and safetyWith some owners, the height of the boots may cause issues in getting the pants or over-pant legs easily in place, although in an offsetting manner, the stiffness of the upper boot facilitates this action. A Traditional Closure System Not so much technically inspired as functionally inspired, the Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots utilize a secure approach for the closure system. It consists of a simple full-length stitched gaiter and large over-flap that secures to the outer upper boot with large stylized sections of hook-and-loop. Performance comes, of course, with a price tag, and the boot costs enough to make it a more realistic option for those who can take advantage of its technological innovations. Peace of mind can be expensive, and innovation isn’t cheap. Both are doubly valuable the longer and more technical your adventure is. Our Verdict The following are great alternatives as adventure motorcycle boots to the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots that we too recommend after having tested them: In the late 60’s the founder of the company Dino Signori, (who also gave his name to it, maybe it’s surprising that it’s not the Disi company!) looked at expanding the range and came up with the idea of producing motorcycle boots.

The Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots are CE-certified to the EN 13634 standard, which is the EN Standard certifying motorcycle boots as protective for motorcyclists. You won’t need to slip out of these boots. In fact, one of the best compliments I could give the SIDIs is that I occasionally forgot I was in such a full-featured boot. Even on the longest days, I’d roll to a stop tired, but without that “get me out of this gear,” sensation that comes with poorly designed apparel. There weren’t pressure points, problem areas, or times where the boot constricted feel. Just reliable comfort. As it should be. It depends on what sort of miles and riding you do, and what sort of protection is a reasonable compromise for you. For reference, I tested several of the best protective motorcycle jeans in existence with my Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots and just about all protective motorcycle jeans with knee armor went inside the shafts of the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots with absolutely no issues.

Sizing in the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots is very predictable, so stay with your stipulated size in the size chart above. Only if you have very-wide feet should you go up in size. For many of the same reasons, the Adventure 2 GORE-TEX became my boot of choice for everything from multi-day, big-bore adventures to 250cc dual sport rides, commutes, and even when chasing the family around on mini-bikes. This, to me, is the definition of versatility. Who Are They For? And I say to “a degree” because I still hear a slight squeak when walking in my Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots. Regarding road-riding pants, I was able to also wear both motorcycle jeans and street motorcycle pants inside my Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots. When riding off-road, the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex boots offer a fantastic range of motion, allowing for confident control over your motorcycle and precise maneuvering.
