KUALA LUMPUR: The Italian-made Sidi Mid Adventure 2 Gore stands out as a refined, rugged and ride-ready option that strikes the perfect balance between full-height protection and all-day practicality.
This adventure boot is available in three colours of black, tobacco and military.
Yamashiro Malaysia is the local exclusive importer and distributor for the Mid Adventure 2 Gore.
While feeling light, the boots felt light and yet confidence-inspiring during a riding session.
The micro-adjustable buckle, Velcro strap and inner gaiter provided a snug fit that stayed comfortable throughout long hours on and off the bike.
Thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane, my feet remained completely dry even when I had to wade through a shallow stream to recover my phone, which had slipped from its holder.
Luckily, the phone was protected by a waterproof case, and just as thankfully, my feet stayed bone dry.
The rubber sole grip was another highlight.
The non-slip rubber sole delivered rock-solid traction on everything from wet tarmac to gravel trails.
Meanwhile, the shock-resistant heel cup, well-placed ankle protection, and anatomically shaped heel and shift pad made the boot feel stable yet not overly stiff, even in urban stop-and-go traffic.
The reflective inserts are a thoughtful safety touch for night riding.
If there’s a downside, for hardcore water crossings, some may prefer a taller boot with full shin protection like the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore.
However, for those who prefer less challenging adventure rides, the Mid Adventure 2 Gore, priced at RM1,390, is a seriously capable, weatherproof all-rounder.
