I like these boots. They are comfortable, easy to walk in, and waterproof. They don’t breathe well, so they are hot in the summer. They are a big safety upgrade for adventure riding from the touring boots I was riding in. They would be fine for some mild off roading. They would also be excellent touring boots.
After having them for a bit I decided I also needed something sturdier and bought some Gaerne Fastback Enduros, which fit the need. I had an off in the woods and the Corozals protected my ankle from crushing, but I realized I needed more protection from twisting. Brian spent plenty of time with me on that choice.
These would be the perfect do everything boots if they were just a little more protective around the foot. Totally waterproof and sooooo comfortable. I wear my Pro Formas when I need all the protection I can get and these when I am going to spend the day doing mild trail riding or dual sporting. These are a great boot.
While dealing with Brian on this purchase it became obvious I was dealing with a highly knowledgeable, old school motorcycle guy. It reminded me of the guys I would talk with 30 years ago who knew the products, all the products. Tell him what you want and he'll tell you what you need. And it will likely be just that. There's value in this service. The SG12's are a heavy duty boot. To the point I was asking myself " do I need this much protection?" After breaking my leg at the ankle waring my old boots the answer was clearly yes. There are going to take some getting used to no doubt about it but you will have THE best protection money can buy. I can't compare to the Tech 10's because I haven't worn those. The Klim helmet Brian recommended is fantastic as well.
Brian suggested this helmet for the large opening, light weight and ventilation. It performed as advertised. Did my first race with it and had no issues. I didn't even notice it and that's what I want
Replaced my tech 10s with the Sg22s. By far the best boot I’ve had right out of the box and the option for half sizes is nice. Atomic moto was a great company to deal with and I will be making my next purchase with them.
