Got these to replace a great pair of tourmaster boots that disinegrated after 2 years full time commuter use.
These don't fit nearly as well. Toe box puts pressure on top of big toe,yet is baggy at top of foot. Boot is too thick to easily use shifter as presently set up.
Hope they break-in and/or I adapt.
These are size 47, so smaller sizes may be OK.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Light weight shoe. Feel like a atheletic shoe, but with real world protection. Size was spot on.

Oblivious Higher quality materials and construction. Initially felt stiff (I mean like Tin Man stiff), for walking around, but still was comfortable for riding. This was especially true with the liner in. The liner does make it a warm jacket though.
After some days wear it seems to be losing its stiffness and the liner is softening (Or I am adjusting to it).
I am 6' 2", 210lb., 45" chest. Ordered the 46.

Pants to match this jacket?

Can you recommend pants that match this jacket - waterproof, breath-ability, vents etc.
I went Firstgear all the way. Works for me!

Boot height

Hello, what is the height of the boot from bottom of sole to top? I want to compare it with the height of my current boots.
Is it possible to get the height of ALL the boots added to the descriptions and/or videos?
For me, it would be good to know before placing an order.
12 inches. Looks good and its practical for really bad weather.

Is the new Tour GoreTex boot as tall and heavy as the OnRoad GoreTex boot?

The OnRoad is a heavy and tall boot for most street riding. Is the new Tour GoreTex any different in height and weight?
Shoes are approximately 20 oz. each. (Size 13). Light as feather in my book.
