A lot has already been written about the importance of motor boots and now I decided to buy myself a model ICON Reign Waterproof Boots (Nikon Raine).

The ICON brand is kind of not bad. True, almost all models of jeans he has go without protection. But for other products, it's an accurate average. That is, the equipment of the Nikon is not as expensive as Daineze, Speedy and BMW, and in quality better than polo and similar cheap brands. But as it turned out in my case, I'd rather overpay for Dainese.

For starters, pros and video review of the model: ICON Reign Waterproof Boots

In general, the meaning of the video reviews I see is just to better consider the model. After all, the operational properties of the model in any case must be tested. Wear let's say a month or two and identify weaknesses and strengths. Well, it is not realistic to test the protective properties at all.

So, what can I say about the model of moto boots ICON Reign Waterproof Boots:

– Cost 200 USD.

– Waterproof

– Medium height and has no problem hiding under wide jeans

– Dainese Knee V type knees are easily worn over the bot

– There is a membrane that would make the legs sweat less

– The height of the toe in the bots, does not allow you to change gears under the foot, i.e. click the gears above the edge of the shoe.

– My lightning broke, after a couple of months, there was no hard operation of the motorboat!

Well, now more about lightning failure in ICON Reign Waterproof Boots

After leaving only 1500 km in them, one day I could not unzip the zipper, which dispersed. It looked like this:

Although the fittings are of high quality: YKK, nevertheless, in the garage to fix the problem, I had to tighten the lock with pliers. Maybe of course I was so lucky, but now I understand that in defense and equipment, there are no alternatives. It is better to overpay once than to finish and finish the detached ones.

Would I buy the Nikon bots again?

– Hardly. This is not the level when after a couple of months the lightning fails.
