Boo!

dunno how you'd go about restoring the glory days.

I need to refresh my regular bike gear. Helmet and gloves are good for a while longer yet, and I've got 2 bike jackets, one of which is in better condition, but is a bit on the snug side with the extra belly weight I've put on the past couple of years, but I've got another one which is a little shabby (I bought it second-hand on eBay about 3 years ago), but will do for now. So that just leaves by boots and trousers in need of replacement.

My trousers are an old pair of Hein Gericke Goretex pants that I've had about 18 years (albeit in storage for 11 of those years), very comfortable, but the crotch has completely split on them. The boots are Sidi B2s that I've had about the same time as the trousers, very comfortable when riding, very uncomfortable to walk in, and one of the heels is held in place (ish) with super glue.

Both the trousers and boots need replacing eventually, but I can't afford to do both at once, so I'm not sure which to prioritise. Neither is at the point of being unusable yet, but also neither is gonna do me much good if I get caught out in the rain.

Thanks,  I was trying to sleep

Thought so
