Bought SIDI Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Boots

[TXBikerGuy]

Safest looking I could find from what I saw- pretty much a motocross boot adapted for the street.

I didn't buy from Sidi's website, I bought from TheVisorShop.com - total cost with shipping- £263.74 ($360.72)

So for reference Revzilla's price is $450 +tax

You can save a LOT buying overseas. Some times you need to wait a couple weeks for arrival, although that may be more now due to covid.

I've bought motorcycle gear from Japan, Germany, Australia, U.K./Ireland all with no issues, all MUCH cheaper than I could get the product here in the U.S.

You also get options / access to items that aren't available in the U.S.- such as the Shoei Glamster helmet I just bought, the Helston jacket, ...or even on my old Shoei Qwest- a light transitioning visor.

Thanks for the tip on this site. Just checked a sample item that I'm going to be needing soon. Can save about $33 on a Neotec 2 including shipping costs. Not retirement-changing money--but it's $33 to go toward more bike stuff.

What color?

On that site a white Neotec is £467.99 before shipping

On Champion the same helemt is 445.45

Gotta look around.. for example the lowest price I could find on my Glamster was motorstorm but the neotec is higher there. - https://www.motostorm.it/en/helmets/modu...white.html

They do have a 'leave a review, get a coupon code'..that knocks the price down 20 pounds.

I bought those exact boots a few years ago, online from Italy. They were 60% of the cost of the same boot here in the US and they were delivered to my door within a week. It’s how I buy my Schuberth helmets too. Same product but you can save a bunch.

That said, I found the boots to be too stiff for street riding and sold them on Craigslist for $90. I’ve been wearing Sidi Armada Gore-Tex boots ever since and couldn’t be more pleased.

Wow. You took a big loss.


I am hoping they will be OK as the reviews are good.

I am used to wearing motocross boots, which I am hoping are similar if not worse...

Also, I'm ok with mild discomfort as the pain of unprotected is still vivid in my mind.

Would be great to have a thread listing online motorcycle supply sites--US and ex-US. I enjoy the Google scavenger hunts, but not everybody has the time or ability.

Agreed. Even with a site list, there is still time to compare current deals and coupon codes...but yea.. much better than going in blind.

I'm looking at the Excursion or Separator color scheme. More expensive. Ended up finding a Separator color on FortaMoto.com on sale for $563 shipped. Haven't seen that color scheme in the US yet and I actually prefer the Excursion scheme--but I don't prefer it $236 more. Ordered from Amsterdam. I only wish I could have flown there to buy it from their physical store. I've had a lot of fun in Amsterdam in the past.
