REVIEW: Tour Master Solution WP Road Boots

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Boot Reviews, Tour Master and Cortech Reviews, Waterproof Gear Reviews

I wasnt easy on these boots. I smashed them into my checked luggage, gave them months of rigorous use riding in the extremes of heat in Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada, and the cold, rain (and even snow) of New York City. I wore them on the track with my leathers, for a dirt bike course and some rough-riding on a couple of ATVs.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Knox Back Protector Made for Women

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Sportbike Corner, Underwear and Armor Reviews

An important part of managing risk while riding is wearing motorcycle-specific gear that includes armor. Many motorcycle jackets come with built-in protection in the shoulders and elbows and a pouch or sleeve for a back pad that attaches to the garment. These sometimes shift while in use and become uncomfortable.
