Even WP boots will eventually leak. All of my "WP" boots leak after a few months to a year.


My daily non WP mid cut leather work boots actually do pretty well. Just have to treat them every so often and make sure the seams/stictched area are waxed. They are not WP and no WP liner, so water will still get through the zips (no gusset) if you spash yourself running through a big puddle.

For what's it worth, unless you are going for multiday, multi hour touring, I prefer non WP full leather boots. They dry up much easier than WP boots if you do get them wet and they are less stuffy.

Like i said above, I would wax all the seams and see if it works better. Pretty sure it would.

Ya, lesson learned now on the WP boots. Mine is only a month old, and has only been through rain twice.

I do wax them, on the seams, on the creases. Just did it again yesterday evening...but alas, haha!

At least im not touring, its only for work sahaja, and its not totally wet.

thanks

macam slowly seasoned... hopefully looks better as it ages

What pants were u wearing when it rained? Waterproof boots will only be effective if ur wearing waterproof, over the boot pants as water can still get in the top. N the pants will need to go low enough so that even if its flapping in the wind, the top of the boot wont be exposed....so the boot also needs to go high enough lol

Learned this the hard way n still suffering the consequences years later.

Rain pants, it goes below the tounge, around 2" above the welt line when seated. Also paired with rain jacket, baju seluar semua dry...socks saja

Xper, the seller said he will try to contact manufacturer and see their response on the matter.

I use waterproof socks if I roughly know the weather will open up during the ride but everytime i wear the socks it doesn't rain

Another think i want to ask...bila makin tua, makin sayang nyawa, but dont want to let go of speed haha

So baru tambah pakai riding shoes (before its helmet+jacket+gloves)

Then someone sini show degloving, then tengok motor accident mmng selalu la kena, then scrap skid semua and all...

How badly do i need riding pants? But i dont want to buka everytimei masuk office. And also pakai armor on the leg also..aiyoooo

For context, 60km minimum per day on motosikal in somewhat mix federal highway kinda jam.

most ppl never needed it, so I don't wear
after I crashed, I wished I had them on

2 points to note:
- dress for the slide, and
- hope we never need the protection

statistics: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/revie...bag-vest-jacket


Legs:
- most injuries sustained
- > 50% minor
- > 20% major
- > 20% serious

Pelvic:
- hip protection is important
- anything happens to pelvic bone, can be quite complicated

thanks for the insight

So mahu selamat, kena pakai something lagi laa

I dread pakai rainwear, now kena pakai extra seluar really make no brainer


Any other solution for daily work wear (casual) that can withstand some abrasion?

RS Taichi slip on padding?

How bad you need pants depends on how you ride and how you plan to crash. Safety is a compromise you have to weigh in for yourself.


I wear riding jeans with armour everyday to work. And keep them on all day. I just don't use kevlar lined for comfort.

Normal commute is more impact protection so armour is important. Unless you banzai to office everyday, sliding and loosing skin isn't high on my things to worry about. Not to say it's not important, but armour itself will also protect on slides, just not that big a coverage as kevlar lined.

I'm in full gear everyday. ATGATT.

500 for a full face not much choice you have, i'd prefer hjc but best if you test them yourself and see which one fit you better.
there are other brands also like givi, zeus
just make sure the helmet has ece rating 22.06 or if you are lucky get older models with ece 22.05 since it might be cheaper

i personally use starfield knight skg550 glove, made from goat leather.
used almost 8 months and still looks like brand new. it has went rain and hot weather so i guess its pretty good.
fingertip and palm section not damaged at all
i think other china brands also have goat leather gloves like motowolf, benkia, etc.

for jacket i think you cant go wrong with either brand, just choose the one with mesh fabric and has adequate pad protection (shoulder, chest, elbow, back)

most important to test those equipment if they are suitable for you, so make sure to go to shops that have them

once I bought a riding pants online thinking its all good then realised it has no side pocket for me to put my wallet and keys

I got new jacket never wear before want to sell
Komine JK098 4XL

Let me know if you interested

Well went to the places today.

Motorworld kind of a bit sendu with their pants not much selection and sizes

Bikerworld was a bit better with the pants and other items, cuma less of a discount.

Dainese was good too but pants section alos many sizes sold out and no stock. But some good promo's there.

I want ask, why is it the Japanese brands like taichi and komine dont have abrasion rated pants? Went to the abve 2 places and all i can find/see is CE rated pads(no hip pads tho..kena beli asing)

Aside from the 3 i mentioned and LSH, anyone have any other places to recommend, thanks.

my guess is to get abrasion rated will increase the price

you can check winmaster in cheras, they sell furygan brand
sunny cycle also has equipment store but a bit limited
if china brand just look at serdang motorcycle
