Now I see why this episode started with a Lao Tzu quote, Peaceful enough for 45 to finally pass away with butterflies in his eyes 😅 Great job you guys!
A couple of years ago my daughter wore her icon stormhawk boots on a climb up Quandry Peak here in CO. She was the only one in our out of shape group that didn't get blisters.
This brings back my nightmare of when I did a moto trip from San Francisco to Portland for a bachelor's weekend. I didn't know what the plan for the day was and there wasn't enough room in the car so I took my bike to breakfast. After that I followed the guys to a really cool looking waterfall, the 620ft Multnomah Falls, to be exact. They parked and when I pulled up to them I asked whats wrong and the answer I got was: "we're hiking up to the top". I was in sportbike gear, in particular my boots were, and still are, a pair of Sidi speedrides, a cut down version of the Mag 1, a full racing boot. It was not a fun time trying to hike up a constant incline with that metal slider hanging over the front edge of the boot. Solid boot, sidi sells soles so you can resole them if you need, but they were not meant for impromtu hikes. Get/wear the right gear for the task at hand folks.
You hit the nail on the head with the description of the footwear lasting hours and miles, no more than single digits on both accounts though. From personal experiences; the stitching on the tpu toe and heel WILL fail faster than you can pay off the cc bill and the delaminating of the outsole at the heel will begin during the removal of the product from the box if you are not careful. Not acceptable for the cost.
Same here...my Rev'it Royals are 9yrs old and have been brilliant...from riding round the UK and Ireland to trekking through the jungles of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. And worn at weddings and funerals!!@adventurecraft482
Agreed, had mine for a couple years and those panels just kinda fell apart. Still an effective hiking/riding shoe, but for the price I expect much better
I've often thought of doing longer multi day camping hikes via motorcycle. But I worry about the motorcycle getting stolen while I am gone for a few days (or just people messing with it, knocking it over, etc).
If there's a house near where you want to hike. Be social, knock on a door and ask whether you can park your bike on their drive or near by. You'll be amazed how wonderful most people are
So, is there so much stealing in the US, or have you just become so paranoid that you don't trust anyone anymore? There is crime here in Europe as well, but children still walk to school, I can invite the neighbors for coffee and forget to lock the door without fear that someone will empty my house. It is possible, but the chances are minimal. If you are in Europe, then: What the fuck....?
Motorcycle gear is outrageously expensive! I appreciate the practical durability of alternative brands. Fallraven (spelling?) is on its own a pricey questionable outdoor brand but still cheaper than Klim!! I LIKE IT!!! Thx 45 and speedy recovery
Fjallraven. Good, but not exactly cheap. You definitely want to actually use it's features rather than just stroll around town if your're going to pay that much.
I am a biker-hiker. I lock my helmet and motorcycle suit with bicycle locks. Sometimes i wear my hiking boots, and sometimes my enduro boots on which i have made a hole mid-high and lock them also with bicycle locks.
I've found that my Merlin Drax boots are surprisingly comfortable for hiking. In fact, they're the most comfortable boots I own! I have 2 pair of dedicated hikers and 3 pair of hunting boots.
Tongue planted heavily in cheek (as always). Killer ending though.... This kit costs more than my wheels - do same video 'on a budget' - bit more of a challenge if less gags. Thanks for best/funniset/smartest bike channel out there. 'Party-on'
How nice is waking up on a sunday, brewing a cup of coffee and seeing a video made JUST for me. Took my 625 on a long trip to a national park just with the gear I had and god damn did I get it wrong. It was a hot summer and I had army boots with a heavy ass motorcycle jacket, as I could not fit a whole another outfit with me... It was not fun and I ended up sending half my stuff back home and continuing the trip as just a riding trip. Thanks fellas, great content as always.
This channel has some of the best production quality, and honest information I have seen on UA-cam. You guys come by your sub count honestly. Keep up the good work
He might've gotten his old boas snagged if the duals were on the side of the boot instead of placed centrally like in the Klims. That's how it was for my MTB shoes.
True that Boas are replaceable but I must say that as a snowboarder that loves boas for their convenience I do hate their inconvenience when they fail. Riding for the rest of the day in a boot that cannot be laced up is a real pain on snowboard or on the bike. A regular setbof laces can be retied or fixed temporarily. Those boa cables don't hold knots. Duct taping my boots closed for the day is always classy.
I have a pair of Ariat steel toe hikerish boots that I love. Comfortable enough that I wear them when I’m not at work. Just as comfortable as Timberland Hyperion but because of the mono leather construction I’ve gotten two full years out of them. Treadfast
I think I'd rather tie the helmet to my bag and take it with me. It'd be more of an inconvenience to me if my helmet was stolen than if I just attached it to my bag.
@@Mega-P71 Imagine if you could split the helmet down the middle and use it as a pair of walking boots. With a visor to keep your toes cool. That would be a heck of a thing.
Not really suited for the biking or hiking I do; if I'm out in the middle of nowhere, I likely spent a few hours of riding at speed on tarmac roads to get there, and need proper riding protection to do so. The bag is a neat idea, but I have an army surplus respirator bag that does the same thing, but comes with a shoulder strap. A standard seatbelt pad helps cushion the strap (kiddie ones are cheapest, and you get a choice of cutesy designs), and it's got a couple of pouches on it for camera and water bottle. And a third pouch sits on my belt for my phone, so I can wear headphones while I hike. Those boots are £320, though! I'll stick to dragging my workboots along with me; they're not suitable at all for biking, even before I added aramid fibre laces to replace the initial laces they destroyed in less than a month. They're still metal-free composite toecap, but they only cost £80 shipped and have full ISO footwear protection, as well as anti-static and ankle support in case someone rams a trolley into my ankle from behind. ISO standard means you can drop 600kg of palletised goods on your toecap without any issue beyond scuffing the plastic a bit, other than feeling like an idiot for trapping your own foot under a pallet.
to help solve squeaky boots I use zipper wax that I use on my Scuba diving drysuit zipper. Waxed them last summer and they are still quiet (SIDI Adventure 2 boat)
Love this - I love riding to a mini hike in the bush! Gotta say though man those ootlanders have no ankle protection for riding to the hike, so no thanks. Either hard luggage you can get the boots in or a backpack that will fit the boots is my go to. Look at douche bags from scandi land for something designer, or any back pack designed to carry snow boots. For tougher hikes, hard luggage is better.
I like everything about Klim gear, except the price. I do draw the line at their footwear and helmets though. Those are simply rebranded Chinese products with a Klim price tag. I bought a Krios helmet. Cheaply made crap. Ive already had to use Gorilla Glue on it to keep the plastic chassis inside the helmet and the plastic button for the chin strap is broken. Ive only been wearing it for 6 weeks. It's actually a Nishua Enduro helmet that costs hundreds of dollars less without the Klim branding. I have no reason to expect any more from their footwear.
I really like the Vidda Pro. It's great trousers and I would buy a second pair in a heartbeat. I tore through my Kebs in a year, the Vidda Pro is much more lasting, not as much stretch. Look out for the 2023 revamp where the lace buckle is on its own patch of fabric. It's much more durable and fixable, unlike the pre-2023 ones that Fjällräven didn't even try to mend, they just reimbursed me - not very sustainable to replace a whole garment instead of repairing it because 'that would alter it', or whatever is their reason. And I just hike, I don't ride motorcycles. I'm just here for f9's antics.
No mosquitoes were harmed in the filming of this content. Flying eyes: $230 dollars; 3M tinted or non-tinted safety glasses that fit comfortably under the helmet with UV and impact protection $8 bucks. While you're in the h depot getting your safety glasses, snag some deerskin ropers for about $20 bucks. "motorcycle" deerskin ropers $50 to $100 bucks. The bear bit was a classic!
Have these exact boots and jacket, I agree! The boots are amazing, super lightweight and comfortable. The jacket is also good, arm vents work great but when they're zipped up they create a stress point in the zipper (like on jeans at the crotch) near the bend of the elbow and can be annoying. I'm in the SE United States so the jacket quickly becomes too much to wear immediately getting off the bike or stopping for too long but wears nicely at highway speeds.
Alternatively to the Klim boots, Icon made that style and just as good years ago. I use them for on road riding and they're very nice. They'll snap your ankle if your bike falls on it on the trail though.
Love your approach on this topic. I ride to fishing spots and to hike with my buddies quite often. The difference is that I change to my fjällräven pants out in the Woods and jump in to a pair of jogging shoes with sealskinz socks. The best fishing spots are often found after good dirt/fire road riding is my experience. Thank you for fine material ass allways! //Totte of Sweden (like fjällräven)
I strongly advice against the Outlander GTX! I bought a pair some time ago before a motorcycle trip through norway and definately can NOT recommend these shoes. At the time of buying my only concern was the BOA shoestring replacement, but this ended up being the only thing I liked. I ordered two pairs to find my size but they just where uncomfortable. The shape is very weird and not ergonomic at all. I exclusively wore high and heavy hiking shoes all my life so I feel qualified to judge. Also, the design (or build quality?) is the poorest i've seen and far below what has to be expectable for that price tag. I ended up returning them after 8 month because of the following problems: 1. after only a couple of weeks (still during my trip) the rubber toe cap started to dethatch from the sole and the leather and ruined the watertightness. This was not fixable bc the shoes have a very weird and strong crease in that area (not due to wrong size imo) 2. I don't know who in their right mind would think of putting soft foam in the sole of a hiking and riding shoe in such a way, that it is exposed from the bottom and the sides! I deteriorated very quickly, the sole (which is only held on by this in the heel region) got loose bc it just split and was pierced by sticks and little rocks... just... WHY? 3. the insole is made from this very cheap plasticy feeling fibre stuff that clumps up under friction -- which has be be expected in a sheo. Thus, I always had little fibre clumps in my shoe and over time the entire layer was worn though to the foam which meant dents in my shoe insole. Very uncomfortable and so easy to avoid! 4. (also probably the reason for number 1.): The rubber toe caps prevent the shoe from bending in that region, what results in very sharp creases directly behind the cap. Didn't become a problem during my use, but leather is only so durable 5. The loops for the BOA wire press on your foot if you tighten down which is uncomfortable. I have other shoes with the BOA system without this problem. 6. The wire routing makes it impossible to tighten above the ankle without hurting the foot (partly bc. of 5.) and the shoe tongue / strap always slips out on one side. All in all a product I highly advice against buying! This is far from what I would expect from the combination of Klim and a 350 bug price tag! I returned to Lowa and have an actually well made and well designed and well fitting shoe now that also makes a great riding boot (probably better bc. of 6)
I recently discovered waders make pretty nice riding pants and wading boots are nearly as good as my riding boots. Add a back pack for back protection and to carry my rod, net, chest pack , wading staff and I’m pretty much outfitted to ride to remote fishing!
W'eve (My friends and I here in England) have been measuring pretty much everything in pints of beer or 'Beers' for the last 30+ yrs!😂😂😂😂👍🤘✌🖖🤙👌🍻 Might start using my Keb's for riding in this summer then....👍👍

Gotta say though man those ootlanders have no ankle protection for riding to the hike, so no thanks. Either hard luggage you can get the boots in or a backpack that will fit the boots is my go to. Look at douche bags from scandi land for something designer, or any back pack designed to carry snow boots. For tougher hikes, hard luggage is better.
I like everything about Klim gear, except the price. I do draw the line at their footwear and helmets though. Those are simply rebranded Chinese products with a Klim price tag. I bought a Krios helmet. Cheaply made crap. Ive already had to use Gorilla Glue on it to keep the plastic chassis inside the helmet and the plastic button for the chin strap is broken. Ive only been wearing it for 6 weeks. It's actually a Nishua Enduro helmet that costs hundreds of dollars less without the Klim branding. I have no reason to expect any more from their footwear.
A callback to the "why i take my pads out" episode is pretty nifty
the squeaky boots are just too relatable
"Ootlander GTX boots." I see what you did there. 😄
I really like the Vidda Pro. It's great trousers and I would buy a second pair in a heartbeat. I tore through my Kebs in a year, the Vidda Pro is much more lasting, not as much stretch.
Look out for the 2023 revamp where the lace buckle is on its own patch of fabric. It's much more durable and fixable, unlike the pre-2023 ones that Fjällräven didn't even try to mend, they just reimbursed me - not very sustainable to replace a whole garment instead of repairing it because 'that would alter it', or whatever is their reason.
And I just hike, I don't ride motorcycles. I'm just here for f9's antics.
No mosquitoes were harmed in the filming of this content. Flying eyes: $230 dollars; 3M tinted or non-tinted safety glasses that fit comfortably under the helmet with UV and impact protection $8 bucks. While you're in the h depot getting your safety glasses, snag some deerskin ropers for about $20 bucks. "motorcycle" deerskin ropers $50 to $100 bucks. The bear bit was a classic!
Have these exact boots and jacket, I agree! The boots are amazing, super lightweight and comfortable. The jacket is also good, arm vents work great but when they're zipped up they create a stress point in the zipper (like on jeans at the crotch) near the bend of the elbow and can be annoying. I'm in the SE United States so the jacket quickly becomes too much to wear immediately getting off the bike or stopping for too long but wears nicely at highway speeds.
Alternatively to the Klim boots, Icon made that style and just as good years ago. I use them for on road riding and they're very nice. They'll snap your ankle if your bike falls on it on the trail though.
Love your approach on this topic. I ride to fishing spots and to hike with my buddies quite often. The difference is that I change to my fjällräven pants out in the Woods and jump in to a pair of jogging shoes with sealskinz socks. The best fishing spots are often found after good dirt/fire road riding is my experience.
Thank you for fine material ass allways! //Totte of Sweden (like fjällräven)
I've had those Klim outlanders for about a year now, they're very comfortable, no issues with the BOA system, but it's my first pair with BOA.
I strongly advice against the Outlander GTX! I bought a pair some time ago before a motorcycle trip through norway and definately can NOT recommend these shoes. At the time of buying my only concern was the BOA shoestring replacement, but this ended up being the only thing I liked. I ordered two pairs to find my size but they just where uncomfortable. The shape is very weird and not ergonomic at all. I exclusively wore high and heavy hiking shoes all my life so I feel qualified to judge. Also, the design (or build quality?) is the poorest i've seen and far below what has to be expectable for that price tag. I ended up returning them after 8 month because of the following problems:
1. after only a couple of weeks (still during my trip) the rubber toe cap started to dethatch from the sole and the leather and ruined the watertightness. This was not fixable bc the shoes have a very weird and strong crease in that area (not due to wrong size imo)
2. I don't know who in their right mind would think of putting soft foam in the sole of a hiking and riding shoe in such a way, that it is exposed from the bottom and the sides! I deteriorated very quickly, the sole (which is only held on by this in the heel region) got loose bc it just split and was pierced by sticks and little rocks... just... WHY?
3. the insole is made from this very cheap plasticy feeling fibre stuff that clumps up under friction -- which has be be expected in a sheo. Thus, I always had little fibre clumps in my shoe and over time the entire layer was worn though to the foam which meant dents in my shoe insole. Very uncomfortable and so easy to avoid!
4. (also probably the reason for number 1.): The rubber toe caps prevent the shoe from bending in that region, what results in very sharp creases directly behind the cap. Didn't become a problem during my use, but leather is only so durable
5. The loops for the BOA wire press on your foot if you tighten down which is uncomfortable. I have other shoes with the BOA system without this problem.
6. The wire routing makes it impossible to tighten above the ankle without hurting the foot (partly bc. of 5.) and the shoe tongue / strap always slips out on one side.
All in all a product I highly advice against buying! This is far from what I would expect from the combination of Klim and a 350 bug price tag! I returned to Lowa and have an actually well made and well designed and well fitting shoe now that also makes a great riding boot (probably better bc. of 6)
Icon storm guards are nice boots to walk, hike, and ride in. Maybe bulkier, but so coMFORTABLE.
I own the boots, and they are the most comfortable trail, ride boot I have ever owned.
Damn, that last lil bit with Ryan and 45 was a great reenactment of Yammi/Spite.
I recently discovered waders make pretty nice riding pants and wading boots are nearly as good as my riding boots. Add a back pack for back protection and to carry my rod, net, chest pack , wading staff and I’m pretty much outfitted to ride to remote fishing!
Genial !!! Cada vez mejoras en la ropa para motociclismo ! RIP 45! 😢
One of my favorites. 45 is the best ❤
Screw these ads guys. I pay for not seeing ads yet your show has them anyway
Forty five? FORTY FIIIIVE!!
A short cable lock for a bicycle is a better choice over the Hiplok to secure a helmet or other gear.
Pacifico beers are the best..
Period.
✌🏻👽
The end made this the best FortNine video to date. Nice work.
insane that this is so entertaining when all it is, basically, is an infomercial for motorcycle gear
I also wear the Utlander. Greetings from Germany.
You guys just make great videos
Was the joke at the end really necessary? I really enjoy your wholesome, witty, informative content. Last place I expected to see the violence.
How bout a tour n camp next?
Did he say “zee”?
W'eve (My friends and I here in England) have been measuring pretty much everything in pints of beer or 'Beers' for the last 30+ yrs!😂😂😂😂👍🤘✌🖖🤙👌🍻
Might start using my Keb's for riding in this summer then....👍👍
i gotta say, you've leveled up dude. Well done
4:49 You can tell he's a clone because he's perfectly still while a mosquito is on his arm.
It's this attention to detail that you can rely on when it comes to FortNine.
