My current winter gloves were given to me second hand by an old biker at Wallerawang back in '91, so I hope these ones will be better.
Now I tried on three different pairs of boots and they were all like Ski boots, fuckin horrible. How does someone ride or drink in these in don't know. I have had my boots from '91 also, got them at MCA in Parramatta, being the warmest boots at the time. They have been repaired, polished a 100 times, and are as comfy as sippers. However they are now cold and let the water in. I bought a pair of themal boot liners, off them. Had different brands before, never any better than a good pair of socks. However I will try, these ones are mean't to be water resistance.
There must be something warm and waterproof out there that my feet can wear.

I use these boots in the winter and a lighter type in the summer they work pretty well for me.

I wear Rossi boots with long explorer socks. Had no cold or wet feet issues when riding the GOR on the way back from the pub run last year. Absolutely pissed down solid for and hour before I got to Port Fairy. They are comfortable and breath in hot weather. Oh and they are AUSTRALIAN made

Gore Tex gloves for rain and cold weather. These have inner gloves if it gets really cold. Again with the above trip. No issues and breath as well.
