Congratulations! I bought these during the summer and have enjoyed them. I'm very particular and find these give me great protection and ease putting on. They are also great to walk in when off the bike. Give the BOA system a little time to get used to.
I have boots about the same height as those boots,,,regarding keeping the water splashing over the top of the boot ,,I wear walking gaiters,,I keep as part of my emergency rain pack,,,they work really well because they stay in place and do not ride up your leg...
They are adequate in cold weather, but not especially warm. In other words, there is no insulation. If you'll be doing a lot of cold weather riding you might want to see if you can fit warmer wool socks, or toe warmers or even electric warmers in the size boot you get. I mean, you can ride in anything for 30 minutes, but if you are riding all day long in sub-zero temps you'll want more.

Yeah, the BOA system is just new to me so I'm sure I'll become accustomed to it.

Great tip!
Are they warm in the winter?
