Tour Master Boot Covers

y wife gave me Tour Master Boot Covers for Christmas. Been so warm and dry I hadn't tried them out....until today. Five hours in and out of rain, high 40's. Feet were warmer than usual and DRY. Really worked well. So I give them a high rating if anyone is looking for a little additional rain protection.

I wear water poof boots but I also carry and have used these as well. If it's cold I also use Grabbers foot warmers inserts - they really work and work well. Grabber also makes inserts just for toes and they make one that will fit inside gloves. Feet and hands warm = a happy biker.

These are nice too if the road is wet since they go so high up the leg they keep the shins relatively dry.

@8:30 pm it's still 85°, we had a high of 90° today. I've had more warm and dry rides in the last 7 months than in the last 7 years.

BTW, I still have my Tour Masters, but I doubt I'll be using them in this State.

I've got a pair like that and used them once or twice but since I put chaps on the bike a few years back, my boots never get wet anyway.

Admittedly, I have been known to keep riding when the rain is so heavy the cars are all pulling off because their wipers can't keep up. In a general rain the fairing on my bike handles it just fine, but I like that these provided added warmth and also that they work when riding in a true downpour (the type that make Goldwing riders roll their windows up and turn their heaters on).

Not saying they are for everyone. Just letting those who are interested know that this seems to be a well made product.
