    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.

  • @Antonowskyfly
    @Antonowskyfly 6 місяців тому +34

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    From someone who ran a survival school for many years and rides ultra lightweight adventure bikes, folks, don't fall for the ongoing scam that we need to wear hiking boots in the forest. If you have ankle/foot issues and need the support and or are carrying crazy heavy packs (which you are not adventure biking), fine, otherwise, cut your weight and size way down in your cargo and get a pair of lightweight trail training shoes - they have good lateral support being trainers, and have traction soles. This way you can wear mx boots to the trail head for complete foot/ankle/tib fib protection, take them off and walk comfortably. Or, with training like myself and many of the people who live in forest and natural environments around the world, we go bare foot or use flip flops ; )

The best fishing spots are often found after good dirt/fire road riding is my experience.

    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.

    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.

    The beer system should be universal, but alas, no one has taken into account "oil can" beers.
    Please, dedicate a video on the beer system of volume and weight, including "oil cans".
    This is of much importance, because I tend to help others with mechanical issues on their motorcycles and I use the "standard" beer payment system.
    A beer: to discuss the problem.
    A six pack: if I actually have to look at the problem.
    A twelve pack: if I have to provide direction and possibly tools.
    A case: if I have to get dirty.
    This, of course is based on whether its my favorite beer or just what is available, if the individual being helped (whether 18 or 90 years old does not matter) is female (I'm not sexist. I just like being around girls that ride. Sue me.), and the size of the can.
