Dry comfort

My last pair of DriRider touring boots lasted eight years and did admirable service. For me, the wide fitting made them extremely comfortable and they never leaked a drop. Finally, when it was time for a replacement, the choice was obvious – the next generation of DriRider – the Air Tech Waterproof Touring boots. At $199.95 these are great value, with high-grade water repellent leather and a waterproof and breathable Hipora liner. They have a moulded shin and ankle guard and an Air Tech side panel to dispel heat. To make them flexible for walking in comfort, there’s a Latex foam insert on the flex panel and a polyester cell foam foot pad inside. Available from all good bike shops.
