Versatile, good protection
with comfort, while keep-
ing your feet dry
RIDER AN ALYSIS
The Sidi Fast Rain Boots
are quite stiff out of the
box and require time to
break in, but when they
do, they fit very comfort-
ably and you can easily
wear them all day with no
issues. The boot's heavy-
duty sole and internal
protection provide a stiff,
safe and confident feeling,
yet the boots are again,
overall, very comfortable,
even when walking for long
periods of time.
We tested the boot's
rain resistance on several
occasions and are happy
to report that they perform
as promised. Our feet
always stayed dry. Since
these boots are designed
to be breathable and
moisture wicking for sunny
days, they are not really
intended to keep your feet
exceptionally warm, just
dry.
The three hook and
loop (aka Velcro) closures
make it quick and easy to
take these boots on and
off, and the plastic latch
system integrated into the
Velcro in two of the straps
do indeed keep them very
secure and should do so
over a long period of time.
Even after a lot of use, our
Sidi Fast Rain Boots still
look like new.
Overall, we found the
Sidi Fast Rain Boots to
offer good protection and
stylish looks—both on and
off the bike—and, as adver-
tised, keep your feet dry
when it's wet outside.
With a price of $175,
we feel these boots are a
great value. CN

built in and a full-length inner gaiter keeps
the water out. They also include double
stitching in all high-stress areas as well as a
multi-paneled arch for comfort. The aggres-
sive non-slip soles, designed to provide ex-
ceptional grip on both the footpegs and the
ground, are glued to the boot. They can be
resoled if ever needed. There are also three
small reflective points above the rear heel.
(Above) Those
little red plastic
latches help keep
the closing straps
firmly locked in
place. (Left) The
new Sidi Fast Rain
Boots are designed
to be protective
yet comfortable
and, above all
else, keep your
feet dry when it's
wet outside. We
found that they do
all of these things
extremely well.
