As I'm writing this review at the moment, I just had a low side crash trying to do a wheelie in rainy weather and I hit my head pretty hard on the concrete surface but it just has a few minor scratches on a it and still looks brand new!
Great helmet hands down!!!

RevZilla Staff Premium T-Shirt Lovingly concocted in 2007 and named El Moto Diablo for its geared and devlish lines, the RevZilla Staff Tee Shirt has been part of our lineup from the beginning. It's also the same blue shirt in every video that Anthony has been rocking since day one of RevZillaTV on Youtube. People love to point out that Anthony doesn't ever change his clothes. I guess when it works you stick with it. The tee is screen printed on a high thread-count blank that is anything but one of those throw away tees you get free at the ball game. We wear tees a lot - almost every day - and we are very particular about how they fit, feel and hold up wash after wash. Sizing is true to size, if anything they run a hair on the small side. Show your love for TeamZilla. Make a statement. Boom.

Sidi Vortice Boots It was thought that the award winning Sidi Vertigo Corsa boot was the pinnacle of sport boot technology. Until today that is as Sidi is proud to introduce the next step in the evolutionary chain The Vortice. The latest in technology combined with the great skill and workmanship of Sidis Italian based factory technicians blend in a whirl of fresh solutions to satisfy a riders desire for safety and comfort. Constructed of Lorica and is lined with Teflon vented mesh. Only Sidi goes to trouble and expense of creating a multiple liner boot system in its racing boots. Lorica is a composite micro fiber material created from strands that are so fine, each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of silk. When injected with special resins, these fibers act like natural leather skin, but with the addition of better strength, softer texture, lighter weight and better moisture protection. Sidi has added a small elastic panel to aid in a smooth zipper operation as it allows a bit of movement via the elastic as the zipper passes over the riders ankle ball. The rear upper part of the boot is made up of the following mechanisms A) The TECNO CALF TENSIONER mechanism adjusts the leg circumference. Placed in the back of the boots upper, it works through a nylon wire that hooks directly to the shin plate. B) The TECNO SHIN TENSIONER mechanism helps the TECNO CALF TENSIONER close the leg upper on the front part of the boot. The two lateral nylon braces join the ankle joint with two screws that are protected by nylon caps. This system is reinforced with fiberglass, supports the ankle and is easy to replace. This system allows excellent flex movement front-to-back while being firm side-to-side. Tecno Instep Tensioner, a fastening system on the front part of the foot, on the instep. Shock Absorbing Heel Cup Non-vented Shin Plate Gear Change Pad Vortice Slider toe slider is made in nylon reinforced with fiberglass. It is fitted with a new air intake and an innovative alloy insert. Racing SRS Sole all new sole is constructed of a polyurethane and rubber blend.

I've worn this boots during my motorcycle training course and I've fall pretty hard with one of my entire leg stuck underneath the bike(bike actually fell on my leg) but there were no signs of not even a bit redness on my leg. However, without this boots, I couldve at least fractured my foot without a doubt. Trust me! If you want the best looking boots with highest protection, get this one! You will not be disappointed!!! In addition, revzilla has the best quality customer service as well! Thanks guys!

TCX R-S2 Boots TCX's new top of the line Race Boot. Precise Air Fit System The exclusive P.A.F.S. system used in the new R-S2 offers motorcyclists a revolutionary precise t system that can be personalized depending on the specic foot shape and guaranteed by the inner volume adjustment system. Can be personalized depending on the shape of the foot and the level of performance required. The Precise Air Fit System housed inside the boot gives a practical and fast t that can be adjusted by closing the zip and Velcro as well as by simply inating the air chamber. The air chamber, if inated correctly, completes the boots safety features (represented by T.C.S. and M.C.S.), protecting the instep and shinbone in the event of impact. Race Performance Footbed The RACE PERFORMANCE insole is made from expanded, light and highly breatheable polyurethane and is tted with a polyurethane gel insert in the heel area to absorb vibrations and deaden impact. Its special design features differing thicknesses and respects the anatomy of the arch of the foot, the forefoot and the heel, allowing correct distribution of body weight and offering a high level of comfort even after prolonged use of the boot. Soft Pad Interior Padding The new inner padding is made from dual-component expanded polyurethane and shaped using a special molding process that prevents the material from deforming over time and gives it an anatomical memory that adapts to the shape of the ankle. The special shaping around the ankle and heel wraps the foot, preventing the bothersome undercutting effect of the boot. The feeling of comfort around the foot is enhanced by the presence of a Lycra lining injected directly onto the padding. Torsion Control System TCX - pioneers in anti-torsion systems applied to motorcycle footwear, presents the evolution of the international T.C.S. international patent, devised in 1999, to ensure natural movement of the foot and counteract excessive torsion of the ankle above natural levels. Today the system returns in a new garment that is more functional and aesthetically attractive due to the insertion of carbon ber injected into the polyurethane structure. The purpose of this carbon ber is to further reduce the weight of the boot, to increase the structural support of the system and to increase resistance to impact in the event of a fall. The Carbon frame version of the T.C.S. system is also enhanced with a new joint positioned at the top of the boot. This joint has been designed to increase exibility at the rear of the boot and allow the leg to return rapidly to the initial driving position. Metatarsal Control System The M.C.S system uses the same concept as T.C.S. and has been designed to control upward and downward bending of the metatarsal . This is achieved through two stopping points designed to prevent any lesions to the joint. Additional Features Polyurethane shin plate with iron mesh air intakes Polyurethane shift pad integrated in the sole Replaceable high-resistant alloy toe, rear and ankle sliders Polyurethane xed calf slider Anatomic mid sole with heel Shock Absorbing Foam
 

I am having a hard time deciding between the TCX R-S2 and Sidi ST. Which boot is the better all round choice?

My riding: commute to work daily on a sport bike, weekend rides, trackdays in spring and summer (advanced group). How much extra time would the motocross style buckles require on the ST's for on/off? Also, is the air venting adequate enough on the TCX? Comfort is a big issue, as well as ease of use. I've been a SIDI guy for the past 8 years, but I am willing to change brands if you feel the TCX's are a superior boot. Last thing, is sizing for TCX equivalent to SIDI? Thanks so much for your help. Joon
Since I only have an experience with Sidi vortice(best boots in my opinion), I can't really tell you which brand boots with be the best choice for you, however, I've heard pretty good things about TCX R-S2 boots and there quality is somewhat top notch. I would say since you already have an experience with Sidi product, it wouldn't hurt to try something different.
