| Oct 11, 2017 at 15:25 | comment | added | alex | Yeah, but also pretty unnecessary in the dry. | |
| Oct 11, 2017 at 15:16 | comment | added | Ryder Bergerud | So the impression I'm getting is that the lizard skin boots are good dry, bad wet (because dirt is penetrating with the wet)? | |
| Oct 11, 2017 at 6:37 | comment | added | alex | I had the same boots as shown here. They were fine in the dry to keep dust out, but just collected filth in the wet. | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 21:30 | comment | added | Nate W | I would have to agree, i would prefer a decent mudguard in addition to general maintenance and keeping them clean over running some sort of cover on stanchions for MTB use. Although a long dusty tour ride i could see using a cover like the fork boots. | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 20:49 | comment | added | mattnz | I believe a front mudguard would be better than a boot. General consensus in MTB community is boots do far more harm than good, there is a reason they stopped putting them on forks in the 1990's, and there is only one maker of them. | |
