I think that i started to like Alpinestars as a Brand because of these boots, when i first saw them i was astonished of its quality and style, and then i confirm how protective, rugged they are but confortable at the same time. I don´t see the point in getting another more expensive boot, for me this is more than enough for all kinds of use. But let me tell you one thing, this boots are not for the summer, forget it, your feet will get roasted but dry as a bone, that its true, the main seasons for these boots are fall and winter. Another thing is that they are not the most confortable off the bike, if you are planning to walk around a lot, try a riding shoe like the Afrika

Schuberth S2 Helmet The all-new Schuberth S2 arrives after years of extensive engineering. The ultra-quiet S2 spent hundreds of hours in Schuberth's aero-acoustic wind tunnel to ensure optimum aerodynamics with reduced drag and lift for the quietest possible performance. Schuberth's industry-leading triple-matrix shell allows the S2 to be significantly lighter while still providing outstanding ventilation and comfort. General Features Compact and lightweight Triple Matrix Shell Antibacterial, hypo-allergenic microfiber liner Extremely quiet 85db at 65 mph Integrated, drop-down sun visor Fog-free Pinlock dual lens system Patented Anti-Roll-Off-System (AROS) Integrated 31 inch FM antenna and Bluetooth receiver antenna greatly improves range and reception for the optional (sold separately) fully-integrated SRCS Bluetooth communication system 2 shell sizes Exceeds ECE and DOT standards 5 year warranty Shell Glass fiber is pressed at high temperature under high pressure and the addition of special resin in vacuum to a helmet shell with exceptionally high strength The helmet shell made of special EPS foam is designed to optimize the shock absorption properties EPS features optimized impact absorption properties by using a complex multi-density foam Interior COOLMAX interior, fully removable and washable Optimized seat shape Skeletonized for effective ventilation Allergen-free and Antibacterial Interchangeable comfort cheek pads and liner padding Micro-Lock ratchet strap Faceshield Pinlock faceshield ensures a condensation-free view City setting cracks the faceshield slightly Easy change visor mechanism allows for extremely fast and easy faceshield replacement Tool-less shield replacement AROS Anti-Roll-Off-System Specially developed by Schuberth, the AROS is a safety feature which, in case of an accident, ensures the chin strap is closed and properly adjusted. The helmet can not rotate off the head from behind Smaller tilt angle of contact between the chin of the helmet and the chin or neck of the rider The consequences of accidental contact with the chest of the helmet can be reduced Note Helmet ships with clear faceshield only.
 

Is this a helmet designed for the upright position, long distance touring?

Medial lower end leather panel. Alpinestars patented Vector knee construction. Articulated rear panel for extra support and ease of movement. Extended air intake located on knee panel. 2 side external 100 waterproof pockets. Removable Paclite Gore-Tex membrane with micro-fleece inserts. Removable CE certified lightweight knee protectors. High visibility reflective stripes integrated in the design. Internal waist connection zipper for attaching to riding jackets. Removable bibs and braces.

About the vector knee construction: there is a ventilation mesh panel under that opening, is there a zipper to close that?

I´m wondering what happens if you can´t close that openning in cold temperatures, even with the pac-lite liner on, i think you freeze, is this a pant mainly for hot weather? i will apreciate your comments.
