Having ridden both ways across America and around most of Europe. I can honestly say that this is one of the very, very few people on youtube who is worth listening to.
Thank you very much for the kind words, David!
@@motorcycleadventures not at all, your honesty, knowledge and down to earth attitude will be / is of great value to any who have the good sense to pay attention to your hard learned lessons.
100% agree. Pavlins knowledge is priceless
Maybe not "one of the few" :) but there is no beating around the bush with this channel. He is not "trying to sell" in his approach to things - just honest opinions.
I have seen now in several videos that there is several thing this guy does not fully understand or have the wrong understanding about. This video he obviously does not understand the differences between membranes and why certain brands as Gore-Tex bring additional quality aspects to the products function. Don't blindly trust youtubers just because they seem to know what they are talking about.
I had these boots for over 3 years and I love them
Always a pleasure to watch you share your findings. Thanks
My pleasure!
Watching your videos gives me the desire to keep riding
I hit ice going about 70 on the freeway last year, did a nice long slide on the asphalt. These boots saved my leg/ankle. They barely have a scratch. More recently dumped by adv bike on a muddy Jeep trail, I think it was the difference between a fracture and a bone bruise on my tibia. Definitely money we’ll spent.
As always honest and interesting!
Thanks!
Thank you for another informative video.
My pleasure!
Thanks for the review, keep up the good work!
I will, thanks!
I had the old model is already 4 years still solid and very comfortable
Thanks for sharing!
After app. 4000 km in them I can confirm very comfortably right from the start, 100% watertight and the best protected boots I have seen in 40 years of riding. Only two downsides: They are relatively heavy (because they protect off course) and not all trousers will go over them. Specially rain gear can be a problem so you will have to take the boots off to get in to your rain gear…
I like when you said, "it is what it is" if someone can afford it go! if not, sure out there are some other good options as well, as you say " time and willing to travel, that's all needed" greetings from Bogota Colombia !
Absolutely!
I've bought them 5 day's ago and I loved them immediately. They are so comfortable right away. Very expensive but worth it.
Thanks for sharing, Chris!
Where and how much?
@@kee7678 I just looked them up here in Canada on Fortnine! Jeez man with taxes they are $1343.99 cad which is $1004 usd 🤢
@@andy.m7274 ??!?!?!??! COME on. Are they inlaid with Gold ?
@@kee7678 I’ll never know as I’ll never pay that amount for boots.
Had the Forma Adventure boots for 7 seasons, they were waterproof, very comfortable and good protection for 200 euros. This year i've bought the SIDI Adventure 2 Goretex which are even better at all the preview characteristics within 300 euros price mark. Those boots from Rev'it are over 600 euros...i mean...come on...if you weren't sponsored by them, you wouldn't pay this much for a pair of boots 100%. You'd say, buy a decent pair of boots for half the price and with the rest of the money go travel! 300 euros for a pair of boots and with the 300 left you can buy aprox 230L of petrol and that's around 4500km. I see the guys from USA in the comment section saying those are 900 USD in America...hahaha what a joke...
True! I will never pay for such an expensive boots, but does not change the fact that they are great!
UK. £649 😢
$1100CAD here in Canada 😅
Not leather .... at that price? Clever how bike boots, more and more these days are not being made from leather
In US - $899.99 Xa-Xa There is a lot people who got the money , a lot retired old people who want to spend the money before they die. Rev`It , BMW and many others take care of them.
Not to detract from the review . Review is very helpful , as always.
Hi pavlin great review I put them on my wishlist. After viewing them first hend 😊
Glad to help!
Good review, thanks! 😊
My pleasure!
Great review 👍🏼, I'm sold on a pair.
Glad I could help!
Great review. Thanks
My pleasure!
Great review and the boots do look great. The price is a huge concern. I’m not sure I am ready to give up my Daytona’s. Which I thought was high at the time of purchase. I’m feeling pretty good right now. I can’t imagine a boot being more comfortable and waterproof . I will try these Revit’s on at my dealer. Looking forward to the long term review. Best!
Thanks for taking the time!
Have them too, great boots, made already more then 10 000 km. Got events when I think these boots saved my legs
Thanks for sharing!
Cool boots!
Yes, they are!
OK, I guess I've got to be the skunk at the picnic...Yes, great boots from a great company with great minds working on the gear (I've met some of the tech ppl behind this stuff). I have these boots. Yes, super protective (just look up the video from RawHyde Adventures laying down a GS on the earlier version of these boots without any deformation!!)...They are an amazing platform for standing on the bike...hours with no fatigue. THAT SAID, they have some serious downsides. First, of course, is the cost...Even high-end ski boots aren't this expensive and they're WAY more important to performance in the activity (and way more engineering) than a moto boot. Second, the BOA system is cool, but it's tough to get a proper toes-to-top fit because the system tightens from the TOP...so you need to yank those thin plastic "laces" from the toes FIRST, then crank the boa ratchet...pretty annoying. But my biggest gripe is the GIGANTIC shin guard!! I have about 4 different ADV pants in my inventory (even a pair of REV'IT Stratums) and they DO NOT fit over the shin guard. Tuck the pants into the boot...fine...but I don't like riding like that and find it uncomfortable after a while (depending on the pants). So I'm restricted to the gear I wear with these boots bcs I can't get a clean fit over them. Keep these gripes in mind when you're thinking of plunking down a grand on a pair of moto boots brothers...
Thanks for sharing!
They fit perfectly fine under multiple of my REV’IT pants(sand and component), but my calves aren’t that big😅
I've got the redit discovery boots with the same BOA system and you are quite right: they tighten from the top and feel loose around the foot area. The metal 'laces' are sheathed in plastic too and on one boot the plastic has started to come off so they catch, particularly when taking them off. More R&D required I think, especially at this price.
Just Ordered a pair based on your Recommendation 🙂
Good!
I have some Rev'it gloves and they are great - just rode 446 miles around Scotland this weekend in the rain, mist, fog and sunshine in them, perfectly comfortable. I would love more of their stuff. Looks you get what you pay for, sadly I might be sticking with my Richa boots just now.
Great video and great product.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the brand!
You could also mention what those gloves are :))
have a few revit gloves also and i love them but these boots @ $1000+...demmit
@@axelfiraxa Nope - as i cannot remember... will have a look at them later to see a model.
Those are great great boots! You'll be happy with them in Russia for sure. As with every boots you may suffer a bit if the weather is warm but I believe they will be worth every penny when it rains and offroad. Great choice!
I am sure about it. Thanks for watching!
So I had ver 1 for 35k km and loved them so much. Now have the ver 2 and yes your right the easy at which you get in and out of them is a big improvement. Could not recommend them highly enough, there is nothing else that comes close to them.
Good review. I've got a lot of Rev'It gear and it's always been good quality. Most of it is priced below the more popular brands. Lately though, the prices do seem to be creeping up higher. But commensurate with that is a better R&D on their products where the durability and quality gets higher each generation. That's what you want to see though, they are taking their profit and investing it back into better quality materials and improvements in ergonomics.
Rev'It didn't pay me or anything, lol. These are just my observations. I have a summer jacket, couple of gloves types, four season rain paints. and a pair of riding boots. I've also bought gear from Dianese, Alpinestars, Klim, Soumy, and Sedici gear so I have a broad comparison base.
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
I have these and love them. Haven’t done enough time in them to give a proper review.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video!
I use my gs as my daily commute to work therefore i use this boot everyday in the office . Its very comfortable inside for walking the material is top notch totally waterproof also.cons is its gets squeaky so i put wd40 on the plastic rubbing against each other ...
Allo gang, my cousin was a courier in London for most phi’s university yrs in 70-80s. He said this, all those yrs ago.
Buy the best you can afford with bike clothing bcs there’s no price on safety for your body.
It’s a saying I’ve carried all these yrs an is true today as has always been.
You won’t go far wrong with these boots.
I’ll be getting mine soon.
Ride safe ride lucky an ride well every one.❤❤❤
Great review.
Thanks, man!
I wear TCX Baja Gore-tex, they are amazing as well!
Thanks for sharing!
have about 12k miles on my GTX's ... first off, they are the most comfortable boots OUT OF THE BOX.
secondly, they offer buckets of protection. hit a limb at 45 mph on trail, barely felt it.. also a rattlesnake jumped up and tried to nip my foot, and it clanced off ( not making a claim that its snake proof lol)
the price is steep but if its in your budget it is more than worth every cent
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never been a big fan of Revit. There products always let me down. But you make me wondering if this boots could be my next one. Good work Pavlin! 👍Till then I will stick to Klim. 😉
Fair enough!
Quality needs to be paid. Its expensive yes, but u usually get what u pay for. I have recently bought the rev it sand 4 because of your review and its the best suit ever.
As I said, it is what it is! I am glad that you are happy with the Sand 4
❤ thank u 👍
Any time!
I have Alpinestars Tech 7 endurob boots. Amazingly comfortable and protective. Easy to put on/off and has waterproof membrane. Although not nearly as good as Gore-Tex, but better than nothing.
Thanks for sharing!
The boots might be considered expensive ,but they might be cheaper than a hospital and down time or your foot might never come good ,so the boots are worth the safety aspect ,old jimmy
I agree!
Thank you for another great video! What about riding in a low temperatures like around 2-5C ? I don’t mind when feeling warm feet in the summer but early spring cold is killing me…
They are fine.
I think the way the boots get on easier, must be with internal height around the ankle area. This is also the biggest problem for me, when choosing boots, because one of my feet is somewhat taller than the other one.
Could be.
Hi, how flexible are the boots for shifting? And I mainly do street on my cruiser. Would you recommend those for that type of riding? Thank you. As usual, great videos.
I cannot say, because I never tried them on a street bike.
Thanks for this video. What about the weight ? Heavy or not ? If you compare with the SIDI adventure 2 ?
About the same
Great kit, if pricey.
Do they recommend a cleanings product and method? I like to keep my kit as long as i can to save money ( as long as it still works and is safe for use ) . And i think cleaning is an important part of this.
Safe, happy travels 👍
I think that they some products to clean Gore-tex products.
Great video as I am doing the research for my next boot. I was looking at the Daytona boots. These REV'IT! Expedition GTX Boots seem to have an edge over the Daytona's. But man, they are pricey!! The price is indeed high... US$900.00 here!
Daytona boots are not cheap either.
I have a pair of Daytona's and ill be sticking it
Daytona don't have an adventure boot
what are they like standing on the pegs for longer periods ?
Ridden in everything from army boots to MX boots. Today I don't ride without heavy duty enduro boots. Gaerne SG12. Multi month on/off road, or short trip. Very comfortable and very protective. Each to their own though...
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I'm looking at getting the SG12 Enduro or these. The SG12's look much stronger but there are no reviews I can find about how they are to just walk in. Like when off the bike at camp or to walk up a small track to take a photo. How do you find them for this sort of thing? Thanks.
@@d.Cog420 The SG12 are substantial boots, maybe the best, and most protective imho. Obviously they aren't hiking boots, but on multi month trips I wear them all day every day, and they are fine for short walks of the bike. With over the boot trousers they also stay dry and don't let in water in a storm. They do squeak a bit though...
@@OverlandTheSlowWay much appreciated
I wonder if they will be too hot in the heat like version 1. Other than that, I think it's almost a perfect boot.
Any boots will be hot in the heat.
Hey, does you upper part of the boot move a little bit? I mean the plastic "case" wich is attached by the 2 screws?
Yes
You da man !
Good!
looks the perfect boot , but that price wow, some saving up to do first
Yes, they are expensive!
I have the smaller Discovery, feels like these are a bit bulky?
And are they still to warm for summer riding?
I had the discovery as well. Not a bad boot at all only runs small. At first I didn’t mind much but trip after trip I was getting tired of the boot annoying my toes especially when walking on them. Switched to sidi adventure and man I like them. They are so good wish I have switched earlier.
About the expedition I don’t travel that much to justify the price they cost and I didn’t have the chance to try them on as I haven’t found them on my size on the shops I visited. I’m sure they are a great boot though.
@alex leier Discovery are definitely wider than Sidi adventure. I can't do the Sidi. I noticed Revit have adjusted the sizing so now i fit decent in 46 just as my Keen shoes.
Someone should make kevlar boots 😉
Thanks for watching and share your experience!
Expensive ,yes ,but top quality and protection!☺
Yes!
Very interesting video!
What about the size? Normally I wear 46. I had to buy the Sidi Adventure in 48. How do the Revit fall out? What size do you wear on the Sidis and what size on the Revits?
Thank you very much!
I wear 44 and the boots are 45. The same with my Sidi. I don't know what they have as a maximum. Check their website.
@@motorcycleadventures Thank you very much. The max is actual 47, so i will test them.
I wear a 45 shoe and my Revit Discovery boots (similar but with less protection) are a 47. Be careful if ordering online.
@@d.Cog420 I wear normal 46 shoes. The Revit with 47 are perfect for me.
Thanks for your hint.
Was excited to see this, but....$900?!?
I'll have to look for something else.
Fair enough!
I wish the Sidi boots had the same DSF system of Rev'it, not just because it is safer but because it is more stylish, elegant perhaps, and I think it better suits the "retro" look of those boots, instead of its current more aggressive motocross style.
Well... it is what it is!
How’s getting the toe under the gear change lever? That’s always a thing for me...
Thanks for sharing!
Dear Pavlin, Thnx! Are the boos still functioning? especially the BOA system?
Yes they are. I use them every day.
@@motorcycleadventures thank you very much for the quick reply!
10:28 do You have plans to visit Russia this year?
What about xt660z, do You still use it from time to time? Any review after almost 200kkm?
Yes, you can find more information about my next trip here: rtw-adventures.com/next-adventure-1.html. The old Tenere has 193,000km and stays in the garage. I don't have plans to ride it any more.
Hi Pavlin,
Could you also make a video about how to get so rich that we can buy a lot of motorcycles farkles ?🤭
I really have to stop buying. And most of us know that problem i think.
I have to acknoledge that those boats look amazing.👍
You say that the microfiber is more flexible. But are they as safe as the more "offroad" boots ?
Forget mu last question. You convinced me that they come very close to offroad boots. Where offroad boots are way stiffer and not made for walking.
Very easy, just make CZcams channel and you will earn millions!
yes Pavlin they look excellent but a bit pricey, but how much is ones foot worth
Well... looking from this perspective, they are cheap!
I have no experience with Goretex boots. Does it allow your feet to "breathe" and what socks should you use with Goretex boots? If anybody can give advice, thanks in advance
Yes, they breath. Cotton socks works best.
I'm in a doubt...Sidi Adventure 2 or the new Rev'it expedition??? What would you honestly recommend for daily on road touring???
If you can afford REVÍT! go for them.
Hello! Please tell me which boots have a torsionally stiffer midsole? Sidi or Revit?
REVÍT!
Hello. Can be fit under the jeans ,or would be bulky? Thanks
I don't think that it would.
It is perfect boots.But it is expensive.Thank you.
Yes they are!
How are they for sizing ?, is your normal boot size the same as this revit boot ?
You need one number bigger.
Are they more comfortable than your SIDI Adventure? Thanks a lot
Yes!
How good is the lateral forces protection?
Very good!
Hi, question what pants are you using, I just bought the boots and I cant find pants that fit them thanks
Any pants from REV'IT! will fit.
@@motorcycleadventures no they don't, I got the offtrack 2 and they don't fit
I have them as well and they fit.
Nice boots, but they don't make big sizes. Such a pity. I pray that they add sizes 49 and 50 WIDE someday soon.
Maybe one day.
One can dream...
Dreams comes true...
@@motorcycleadventures indeed. But first you need to dream, and then... 😉
what about us who ride with army boots almost four decades, like boots but likely put some fuel in moped for this price ;)
Mate, try to get some proper boots. I came off in late 1989 in British combat boots, 1 was destroyed in the slide and I broke tib and fib on the other. Took a long time to fix.
Yes, buy a proper motorcycle boots, before it becomem too late.
yes, I'm slip and slide with my bike in '94. with bike on my foot, 30 days was unable walk, after 45 days I'm walk by myself, since then drive with army boots
They're not cheap!
Is dirt series l rev’it good ?
Yes, they are!
£650 for boots I'd also say they're fantastic for a freebie
It is what it is!
How much ??? Old Army boots with plenty of Talow / dubbin , sorted.... Some of us just work for a living Revit !
Fair enough!
Really great shoe...for rich people
As I said, it is what it is!
@@motorcycleadventures Whats your opinion about the REV´IT! Discovery GTX? Do you plan a review for this model?
The web site for the boots ?? Can you imagine if bike parts web sites were like this ? ....
Thanks for watching!
Best revit expedition boots has name Alpinestar toucan.
If you say so...
Do they come in brown
Good!
Shocking that Sidi didn’t fortify the inside of the boot. Most accidents in adv bikes impact on the inside.
It is what it is!
They look like good boots (not exactly prettiest though) but, I'm pretty sure they would cook feet in Texas Summer. That's a lot of money even for gortex. I kind of have hard time putting together waterproof and breathable. There ain't no such thing.
It will be hot with any boots, but this is the situation. If you want protection you have to accept it.
Great shoe, but I think knowing your previous videos, you would never buy them for the price.
Who ever watches this, note that Rev'It has poor customer service. I had clearly defective shoes, bought for 400 eur (previous model of this shoe, without goretex) and had to spend 4 month ping-pong to get my shoe replaced. In the end it was a dealer who made it happen (some shops are really good).
Yes, I will never buy so expensive boots, but this not change the fact that they are great.
So you don't consider Sidi adventure boots as an equal competitor?
They are good, but not that good!
Really nice boots.after Robbery bank I will bay
Fair enough!
супер ревю но за съжаление номерата им са само до 47
Дааа, на теб ти трябват лодки!
First! :)))
Yes, you are!
reklamy zaczynają wchodzić na kanał na maksa... szkoda, ale skoro pomysły się kończą jakoś trzeba zarabiać
If you say so...
give me my alpinestars toucans anyday
Fair enough!
Second 😊
Fast reaction, thanks!
Just for information......These are the same boots as worn by Itchy Boots over many thousands of kms, so i imagine they must be great. But the price is just too high.
True
Best ADV boots ever ? Did anybody ever came across a more scientific review other than having someone bending the boots with their hands ? I checked the price in CAD 1265 tax included.
As I said, I have done thousands of km on any terrain in the last 2 years. Do you think that any "scientific review" will tell you more? Any way, thanks for watching!
Sorry man,unless they give me a pair also,I just cannot spend 900 bucks on boots.
Fair enough!
Sucks they are not even close to being AFFORDABLE… 🤬
Yes, they are expensive.
can you donate that old one to me 🙏
No, sorry! I still use them.
@@motorcycleadventures wow thank you for reply
U wanna go to Russia with 700€ Boots ⁉🤣🤣🤣 .... U're going to be UNBOOTED in ONE day ‼😆😆😆😆
I will take the risk!
Overpriced 100%, my monthly income is more than 5000EUR and I would never pay 700EUR for boots ....rip off
Fair enough!
Not for that price.
Fair enough!
too expensive. Not worth it when there are so many other options
If you say so...
to much for my pocket
Yes, they are expensive, no doubts!
Too big ,too bulky, too hot, way too expensive
Fair enough!
