Tried and Tested waterproof motorcycle boots

We test as much of the gear we sell as we possibly can. The Held 'Shaku' waterproof motorcycle boots are no exception- I've been wearing these for over two years now, have covered thousands of miles in them in baking sun, freezing temperatures and pelting rain.

The Held 'Shaku'- waterproof motorcycle boot

Above is the catalogue shot of the boot- below is a picture of the boots after a good ride out, and in need of a clean!

My Held 'Shaku' waterproof boots- after thousands of miles riding

These £169.99 boots are so good I wear them dog walking in Winter. Replacing the wellies they've kept my feet dry and warm through everything. Yesterday I was out for about an hour and a half in 5 degrees Centigrade in just regular sports socks- feet were not cold.

Clearly using them to walk in they are comfy too, and the picture below shows you how ingenious the design is in terms of getting them on and off.

Double zip allows the front to drop down, easy on, easy off!

 Technical information list:

Full grain cowhide leather
Soft textile lining (100% polyamide)
HydroGuard® membrane, waterproof, windproof and breathable (100% polyester with polyurethane coating)
Easy-pull front opening
Adjustable calves with Velcro
Gear-lever patch
Anti-slip sole
Ankle protection on both sides
Shin protector
Reflector inserts

I've found these boots warm, waterproof and comfortable. I've worn them for over two years, on and off the bike and they are showing no signs of needing to be replaced. Thoroughly recommended!

Mother's day is coming- here's an idea..

Whether it be a Mother's day gift or simply time to treat the lady how about this beautiful Held 'Jolin' leather jacket. This stunner is guaranteed to make her smile and keep her looking good season after season. It's new in for 2014 and comes in two colour choices:

The Held 'Jolin' ladies leather motorcycle jacket in brown

This jacket takes inspiration from the ultra-fashionable American baseball jacket in our opinion. This jacket would look awesome if you rocked up to an American diner, but even if you're stuck with gloomy England just imagine strolling through town with this jacket teamed with a pair of jeans. The brown and cream colourway really stands out from the crowd for a good reason and certainly speaks "Italian city fashion".

D3O shoulder and elbow protection will stay soft and only harden on impact making this soft cowhide jacket really comfortable to wear! Don't forget upgrade back armour so you're as safe as you can be in this super stylish jacket.

The Held 'Jolin' ladies leather motorcycle jacket in black

Whether you're a rider or a pillion, this jacket is ideal for you! Zippers at the back of the jacket mean that if you are a pillion, you can expand the jacket slightly to stop that uncomfortable tight feeling as you sit. The front zip also has been used as opposed to any poppers for the same reason - to stop tightness and pressure around your midriff whilst you're a passenger. Awesome!

Outer Shell:
• Soft cowhide

Lining:
• 100% polyester inner lining

Features:
• 2 external pockets
• 2 inner pockets
• 2 hip adjustment zips
• Soft collar
• Stone-washed look
• Laser branding

Protection:
• Revolutionary EN 1621-1 CE-approved D3O® adaptive shoulder & elbow protection
• Special foam padding at back
• Optional EN 1621-2 back protector
• Connecting zip

It's soft, It's supple and it's super. Why wouldn't you want your lady to be seen in this! Looks good on any style of motorcycle, double it up with some Kevlar jeans for that perfect but protected summer look :)

Alpinestars jacket with MotoGP derived features

There's no doubt about it - this sporty motorcycle leather jacket from Alpinestars turns heads and oozes quality and style. It is massively functional and safe too:

Alpinestars 'Atem' leather sports motorcycle jacket- 5 colour variations available

 The Atem Leather Motorcycle jacket from Alpinestars

Alpinestars leather motorcycle jackets at this quality grade are more like sculptures in leather, dedicated to looks and protection. This one is no different and pictures do not do it justice, as much as we try. 

What we are left with is to describe the safety elements that give this riding jacket its CE-certification (EN13595 - Level 1). Large Aramidic stretch panels on chest, sleeves and back ensure perfect fit, which in turn means the armour is always in the right place (apart from the obvious comfort benefits).

Black/Red colour shown above - 5 colour variants available

 

External shoulder protectors with MotoGP-proven Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) technology means better impact and slide protection and are matched with CE approved armour. The back can be upgraded with the Level 2 CE Alpinestars Bionic Back Protector.

The chest has compartments to fit Alpinestars Bionic Chest Pads. D-ring adjustment on the waist provides an exact method to adjust. To meet CE-standards, the motorbike jacket has to remain in position in case of a feet-first slide; for that you get security crotch straps, which are removable. MotoGP profile perforated aero hump for a streamlined ride.

Technical features

• The Atem Leather Jacket is a fully CE-certified garment Certification includes all materials, construction and protectors, which have been independently tested and assessed to meet the EN 13595 – 1 standard performance requirements
• Extremely durable 13 mm leather construction with flexible leather aramidic stretch panels on chest and back for contoured fit and comfort
• MotoGP-profiled, aerodynamic back-hump is ventilated and improves jacket cooling performance
• Critical displacement perforated panels on upper and lower body for improved ventilation

• Multiple snap-button system for integration of Alpinestars CE-certified Bionic Back protector, which is available as an accessory
• Neoprene-edged collar and cuffs prevents chafing and improves comfort
• Inner arm cuff adjustments include Kevlar for durability and improved safety performance
• Multiple, external, perforated leather panels with foam protector inserts
• Removable, multi-panel lining and 3D mesh inserts to improve comfort and ventilation
• Removable security strap attached to base of jacket to maintain its position in case of impact slide (feet first) Strap system is fully compliant with CE certification requirements

GetGeared.co.uk - Online - London & Leeds - updated 05/03/2014

Alpinestars Megaton Drystar Jacket 
The "Mega" #GetGearedGoodies Deal

Are you looking for a Motorcycle Jacket that you can use all year round? Want something that looks good as well? Well, we have the deal for you!

The Alpinestars Megaton Drystar Jacket is ram packed full of features. Not only is it fantastically sports styled, The Alpinestars Megaton Drystar motorcycle jacket has a 4-in-1 system. It has a removable windproof, waterproof, breathable, removable liner, as well as a removable thermal liner.

You can wear the outer jacket on its own, which has zip vents for a comfortable breezy summer ride. You can zip in only the thermal liner, which is great for colder summer days. Another option you have is to only zip in the waterproof, windproof, breathable lining and you have a waterproof sports jacket. As it gets colder and wetter you can zip in both linings and ride throughout the rest of the year.

But, this stylish jacket does not compromise on protection either, the jacket comes with CE-certified elbow and shoulder armour, which is removable if you so wish, with the option for back and chest armour. The jacket is made from reinforced poly-fabric, with reinforced polymer-printed texturing in critical areas, which gives added abrasion resistance to shoulders and elbows. It also has double Velcro sleeve fastening which helps prevent impact slide.

Surely a jacket with all these features and this much protection is uncomfortable? Not this Alpinestars jacket! With neoprene edges on collar and cuff and stretch panels on the elbows and shoulder this jacket allows you to focus on the important things.

So if you are looking for a "mega" deal and superb all seasons motorcycle jacket the Megaton is the jacket for you!

GetGeared 'Lidl' Price Match:
MCN praises the GetGeared Price Action

GetGeared.co.uk - Online - London & Leeds - updated 01/03/2014

MCN, the national weekly newspaper for motorcyclists, features the latest GetGeared.co.uk price action!

MCN announced 28/02/2014:
"Lidl, the German supermarket chain, starts its annual motorcycle kit sale today (February 27), with a selection of cheap helmet and clothing offers including a flipfront helmet for £39.99 and waterproof riding gloves for £16.99.

To counter Lidl’s incursion into the motorcycle clothing market, online retailer www.getgeared.co.uk has posted a price match promise where it has reduced the prices of relevant products to match those available at Lidl."

Georg Braun from GetGeared commented:
"Motorcycle accessories are not like milk and sausages that you purchase on your weekly shop. Motorcycle accessories are technical products. Especially new riders require proper advice to purchase the right motorcycle helmet and clothing. Price is and should be only one consideration in the mix. Protection and fit for purpose are and should be prime considerations.

That's why the team at GetGeared decided to offer drastic price actions on relevant products, so motorcyclists have the choice to buy from an expert retailer, such as ourselves, at the same price. "Get a 'Lidl' bit more for your money at GetGeared" was the strap line for this."

Discussions in social media around the countering offers echoed the sentiment:
Comments like "Looked at the Crivit helmet [from Lidl] and it creaks when you touch the damn thing!" articulate that price is only one of the attributes to look out for when purchasing motorcycle accessories to protect and enhance the enjoyment of riding.

The Lidl counter price actions from GetGeared.co.uk are valid until 3/3/2014.
