I searched for a long time to find a pair of ride riding boots to suit my needs (four different boots in all). I wanted a boot that is comfortable to wear all day or for short commutes, that's waterproof, that has good ankle protection and some styling. This boot fit the bill and my wallet. I tried three other companies pair of waterproof riding boot and found these to work best for me. I do not like the zipper function on the other boots I tried because it would not fit snug enough for me so it had to be lases or buckles and lased boots are typically less expensive. I saw Anthony's video review of these boots and decided to give them a try. I was happy I did. I wear them riding to work and just finished a 730 mile ride in 3 days with them without any discomfort or complaints.

Overall a good helmet for the price but it's best feature is the internal sliding sun visor. The sun visor worked great during my ride in Virginia on the Blue Ridge Parkway. During this ride the sun was in and out and the internal sun visor was a huge benefit. I didn't have to stop to put on or take of sun glasses. I also have a BlueAnt F4 bluetooth headset which works well with this helmet. The cut outs are not that bad as described in the video, at least not for use with the BlueAnt F4. This helmet is slightly louder on the highway than the more expensive helmets but than for the money and the internal sun visor, its an except-able trade off. Its a nice snug fit for me and although its slightly heavier than others, I can still wear it all day with easy.

My BlueAnt F4 Interphone fits in my HJC IS-16 just fine. I am not sure if there is a specific speaker cutout but my speakers and microphone fit without touching my ears or mouth.
