common sense tells me that the vertigos will be more protective because of all of the hard plastic pieces but will it be as cool as the stradas which have bigger air inlets? thanks for your advise/opinions.

 

Vertigo airs They are comfy and light, plus they have an adjustable calf area and you can open and close the vents. Replaceable parts too.

 

so they are worth the extra $75? also would new enough be a good place to buy them from? thanks for the input

 

To me, it's worth the extra $75. I have ordered numerous items from new enough and I have always gotten excellent service and good prices from them. Great shop.

 

+1 on New Enough's customer service. They have never let me down, and all my questions were answered promptly. Even if the person I asked did not know, I was connected to someone who knew almost right away.

I second that motion

 

Where do you live and how cold are your winters and do you have alot of rain?

 

I would go with the vert's but it is a lot more money. They replacable toe slider is nice. Have you tried Alpinestars SMX or SMX-Plus boots? They're the direct competition for best riding boot. Try em all on and see what fits you best because thats the most important thing. Both brands offer top notch protection.

i live in san diego and go to school in riverside so no matter where i am riding its warm and dry.
ive looked at the a* boots but they dont look like they provide as much air flow. maybe ill go try them on just to be sure i want the sidis. thanks for all the advice.

 

Remember your leather pants go down to just above your ankles so air flow is a bit overrated. If its that hot and you're in full leathers, your feet will probably be the last thing on your mind.
