Have a look at wolf textiles,  reasonably waterproof

I have these too. After coming back from a ride out on Sunday (when it was pi$$ing down and blowing a gale) I was mostly dry because I made sure I used the extra poppers and velcro to keep the worst of it out.

I did still get some leakage around the zips, but it wasn't too bad.

I bought TCX Infinity boots, look forward to trying them out!


I've used Alpinestar Drystar Hydrosport boots the last couple of winters,,,, yeah right!


Shower proof perhaps

The trouble with A/Stars is they only seem to know about making boots for sports riding. Most of their designs have these huge great shin protector plates that make it awkward if not impossible to slip textile trousers over. They don't seem to understand that with touring/ normal road use boots you need a full length zip, and for the flap behind the zip to run full length too, to keep out water effectively. Plus, their touring range is very limited in the first place. I'm sure they could make good daily use boots - they just don't. But also, their quality has much reduced with farming out production to cheaper sources.

I swear by my Drystar for a touring boot. I do treat them regulary as I would gortex based equipment. I find its the fit of the equipment that is most important to ensure the use they were designed for.

Spada gloves to me are crap but others find them good and I love my A/Stars. But I will not wear A/star textiles as they do not suit my body shape (cuddly if you ask the missus, fat bastard if you talk to the mates but sexy if you ask me)

It taken me years of trial and error to find out what suits my needs but will always go for water proof and breathable.

I tried a pair of the Hydrosports on only last week but found they were as narrow in the foot as Sidis, so I can't wear em! It seems any boot anyone can come up with, there's a reason I can't use them

Mine were tight and narrow and can only ware think socks that I like but they give and find them true to size.

I sent the first pair back within a week but it took a while for the rain gods to smile on me on the second pair, then it was too late...
