I had the opportunity to try this boot out withother boots and riding shoes (Dainese C2B) at the Revzilla store in Philly. For me this one stuck out as the most reasonable choice without compromising on the safety aspect.
COMFORT AND BIKE INTERFACE
-----------------------------------
I have been riding in these boots for about 2 weeks now. I feel very comfortable in these boots and the way they are designed makes it really easy to work the controls on a sports bike. When I am on the balls of my feet they provide really good grip on the pegs even on bumpy roads. The boots provide a good balance between giving you feedback from the pegs without transferring all the vibrations to your feet. Shifting is also very easy with these boots. The heel provides a good and positive support while pivoting the feet underneath the shift lever. The heel also comes in handy to prevent my body from moving to far forward when braking. That being said I will say this that I hardly ever brake hard.

In the short time that I have worn these boots I have not experienced adequate airflow. But I am currently experimenting with different socks to see if it affects the airflow. I usually wear thick athletic socks. So that could be the problem.
I would NOT think that this will be a good boot for cruisers though.
SAFETY
-----------
Fingers crossed I have yet to go down so I cannot speak for actual safety features of the boot. However given their construction it does provide a lot of peace of mind. They do provide quite good protection for the shin, ankle and heel. I am rest assured that if I did go down none of the bones below my knee are going to be sticking out or bruised. The adjustable velcro strap around the calves help with securing the boots properly. One of my calves is thicker than the other so this feature comes in really handy. And snug fitting gear just makes the rider more confident in his/her gear.

SUMMARY
-------------
All in all I like this boot for my daily commute on the sports bike. I am not a track rider so I wouldn't know if it's good for the track. But it does provide quite a few technical features to the keep the street rider safe and in control of his/her bike.

I have been riding in these boots for about 2-3 weeks now. They are pretty comfortable and definitely do a great job in protecting against the cold weather. The protection provided to the vital parts of the foot definitely enhance riding confidence. I particularly like the shin protection offered by these boots.
These boots are definitely meant more for commuting crowd who ride cruisers, street-bikes or any kind of bike with a somewhat upright riding position. Shifting gears on a super-sport may take some adjusting with these boots. I am not an aggressive rider on my super-sport. So doing a little more extra movement to get the foot under the shifter when up-shifting is not too cumbersome.
All-in-all based on the research outside of Revzilla and the comfort provided by these boots I am pretty happy with my purchase.

Here are my riding stats:
- Avg riding speed: 65-70 mph.
- Bike Type: Sportsbike
- Winter riding temp: 30 - 45 F
- Avg commute time: 30 - 40 mins.
- Avg riding speed: 65-70 mph.
- Bike Type: Sportsbike
- Winter riding temp: 30 - 45 F
- Avg commute time: 30 - 40 mins.
This glove performs well in most conditions. I observed that when temperatures are over 37F it will keep my hands reasonably warm without getting clammy. For temperatures below 37 my fingertips did get pretty chilly. However it did not hinder in my ability to get to the brake or the clutch.
The gloves are a little on the bulky side so they do keep me warm for a longer period when not riding. Even though they are bulky they provide quite a good grip on the controls (or any other surface for that matter). I did find that the webbing between the index finger and the thumb on the left hand got in the way when trying to reach the lighting controls on the left side of the handlebars. I wear a medium and it fits me quite well.
In summary - I feel they met my expectations quite well in the following way:
- Good protection in case of an impact.
- Good weather protection (only for winter)
- Secure and snug fit.
- Good price point.

Having researched several riding jackets I decided to go with a Tourmaster jacket because it's a good product at a really good price. My main concerns were protection in the event of a crash and from the elements. The jacket has armor to protect the elbows, shoulders and the back. The outer skin seems quite durable to protect against any road rash and yet flexible to fit various riding styles. With four vents in the front and one in the back it offers good ventilation. A removable liner comes in really handy on chilly mornings.
Washing the jacket is pretty easy as well - remove the liner, cold wash and hang it out to dry. An array of pockets on the inside helps with storing small items like my wallet and cell phone. There are two zippered pockets on the outside as well.
All in all this is a good riding jacket that will come in handy for daily commuters.
Yes, I recommend this product.

will jeans go over this?
often wear jeans (or slacks) to the office. Will these go over that, or have to be tucked in.
I wear straight and/or boot cut jeans and they both slide quite well over the boots. I would think that if you are wearing skinny jeans you will have to tuck them inside the boot.

What is the circumference of the opening? I have a very wide/thick calf.
I haven't measured the actual circumference of the opening but I have pretty thick calves as well. And to add to that my left calf is thicker than the right one. I don't have any trouble sliding into the boots. The velcro strop at the top of the boots will help you further refine the sizing to fit your calf.
