Boots and gloves?
I am planning on buying boots and gloves for my GF for her B day.
There is a lack of choice for women specific boots and gloves, and especially so in Norway.
I am considering getting her the Sidi Adventure 2 boot in black (with the softer and less expensive Forma Adventure Hdry as a runner up... but it doesn't come in black, which she prefers). I have the Sidi myself, and they are awesome!
For gloves I am considering the Rev'it Sand 4 H2O. Her bike has heated grips and hand protectors. The mornings and evenings get quite chilly here even in summer, and it rain showers are frequent. She chills easily. A really warm summer day is 25C here. I don't expect the Sand H20 to be 100% waterproof at this price. Also the gauntlet is a bit short, so for long days in the wet, probably wouldn't cope well. But for shorter rides in the wet, I would think they would get her home without too much discomfort (rain pull over mittens for longer rides in the wet). I am thinking it could become her primary three season glove? Summer temps are usually between 15-25C, sometimes as low as 10 in the mornings, and seldom has high as 30. We were out riding yesterday on a bike without heated grips or wind protectors, at 10C - with her wearing short leather gloves, and at speeds below 50 kph - and her hands got cold fairly quick. I am also considering the sand 3 or 4 as a primary glove, and something else completely for the cold and wet (not sure if the Sand 4 H20 would be a bad all-rounder).
All this is gear designed for men. Is that a problem? Please advice.
European sizing for these items are the same for men and women in the EU, a 39 is a 39 for both genders (unlike in the US where shoe charts are completely different)
