A friend of mine recently clued me in on this pretty exceptional source for spending money on all the things motorcycle related from touring, dirt biking, trials, ADV, etc. They're a company based in Spain but apparently have local distribution in the USA because there's no additional fees and for the things I've purchased and shipping was free and with reasonably quick delivery dates. My riding buddy purchased all his Givi luggage and some riding gear from them and found their prices unbeatable so I am giving them a try.
I have a pair of Sidi Adventure Rain boots that I've owned since 2015 that have become something akin to what they'd use at Gitmo for extracting information from terrorists when waterboarding doesn't work. They good protection - not great and have become intolerable to talk around town with them on my feet. After 6 years and 10's of thousands of ADV miles, it's time for a change.
A few years ago I went looking and had determined that the Toucans or Corozal A* boots were the best protection with some minimal comfort remaining. For whatever reason I didn't pull the trigger on them - probably because of the trade-off between comfort and protection. I went shopping again recently and determined that some new boots from Rev'it were worth a try. These newish Rev'it H20 Expedition boots are probably the most expensive ADV boot on the market but all the Moto journalists are raving about the magical way they have designed a boot with no compromise between comfort and protection. OK, but dang, Revzilla lists them at $768! Uh.... then I remembered the Motocard connection. They actually have them in stock (Revzilla did not) and their listed price was $618 - but don't speak yet! (as they say on late night TV). They have a promo code for May that is good for another 15% discount and free shipping so I'm getting the boots that our friends from Philly wanted $768 to ship to me for $526 shipped with delivery by June 2nd (UPS and not the crappy USPS).

So, a good discovery for ways to spend our moto$ is something that should be passed along and I'll follow up later with a review of these spendy boots to report if they live up to the hype.
