This is a mixed blessing … when they get wet and dirty, they squeak like crazy. It’ s the Tech- 7 Squeak. Some silicone spray or CRC Liquid Armour / Armor All in the joint helps for a while. I reckon if you’ re an adventure rider who doesn’ t see much in the way of deep water then go for the Drystar boots. If you ride wet enduros, or are an ADV rider who is going to be getting wet often, the OG could be the way to go. Overall, it’ s a great boot; comfortable with heaps of protection and some great features. You just need to figure out if you go for Drystar or the OG.
