QUOTE(mADmAN @ Feb 16 2024, 11:40 AM) I did kl direct to phuket in a day june last year with 2 friends.. 16hrs on the road....was fun but exhausting that is not good... I prefer 'air' boots, with thin socks, so yes they soak up, but they dry up also8 of those hours were with a wet boot coz we got caught under sudden heavy rain....my friend n i got fungal infection on our feet after that...sheesh. Bought waterproof riding pants to pair with my waterproof boots so water won't go in from the top. Them fungal infections r fucking annoying but, first time hear fungal at feet from rain water.... other parts kena fungal after a trip to Thai is more... common how long before the feet recovers? I heard they stay on for quite a while, and desperate measure calls for bleach soak my trip was mostly dry with drizzles, adding to the road constructions along the way, so our bikes were covered in red/brown grit which took a few washes to get rid of eventually, I may go for overland adventure motorcycling with those waterproofing gears, but right now, I don't mind getting wet and uncomfortable at the expense of travelling light, though I do pack a set of very old, leaking rain overalls. I am more worried about grip, traction, braking and visibility when it comes to that because I would hate to stop and prefer to keep moving and enjoy every moment last time when using kapcai to go Sepang watch MotoGP, a good water-beading helmet visor was all I needed to make my way in the rain |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Feb 16 2024, 06:22 PM) Its not the rain water...its the prolonged damp environment....n its not just water...sweat too...n lets admit it....everyones feet is gonna be some form of dirty no matter wat. I thought it's called "hong kong feet'Fungal infection on feet also known as athletes foot. Can be 2-3 weeks with treatment..ive had longer n have heard of even longer..that includes creams n also bleach soak. I also carry anti fungal.powder which i put on before wearing the boots n after reaching destination n mandi. Also when the infection is active...all this to try keep the feet dry. Worst part, once u get it....very high chance of it coming back. Didnt learn about all this shit untill i actually kena the damn thing. Actually bleach soak/baths are good to have periodically.... especially if u have eczema. We malaysians are more into dettol baths, but dettol only works for virus n bacteria n germs...whereas bleach is all encompassing as it kills everything...ratio is abt the same as a typical swimming pool water. I dont like stopping for rain hence the waterproof boots n pants. Jacket is still mesh as legs getting warm isnt an issue but body getting warm can be bad....will wear raincoat if the rain looks like.its.gonna be heavy n long. yeah, heard about bleach wash from eczema treatments as well some just curi2 go public pool, tsk... |
