What's the story on BILT Hurricane Waterproof Motorcycle Boots

[RC51LV]

This morning i took the boots and did the bucket test , as i went shopping and came back 45 min later and they were dry inside ! Now iam going to put 2 coats of sno-seal and some high gloss black polish and we will see how they hold up for daily riding ...

I have Alpinestar Gore-Tex touring boots. The finest footwear I've ever owned. I always choked on the price of genuine Gore-Tex, (snowmobile gear as well) but after several failed attempts with other wannabe membrane stuff, realize it IS the way to foul weather comfort.

My 12-year old Firstgear boots were wearing out, and the Bilt Boots were priced to sell and available. The do leak in the rain, but do have a 5 Year warranty that I'll evaluate.

I bought a pair of Bilt gloves because I was passing a CG store and my old AS we're shot. What a mistake. Additionally my dad bought a Bilt helmet because he is a cheapskate and even he says its a completely useless piece of junk..

Wife bought a Bilt Solar Modular helmet. After a few months, the mechanism for the sun shield broke. She walked it CG with a broke helmet, and out with a new one in less than ten minutes, most of which was spent BS'ing with the folks in the store. I was impressed with the warranty and that they honored it so quickly.

So, I took a jacket in for a ripped zipper about a week later. Exact same experience. The took one off the shelf in my size and I walked out with a brand new jacket.

People may think their gear is crap, but I've successfully crash tested one of their winter suits, and now had two awesome warranty experiences. I'm becoming a fan.

I agree...

The Bilt has a 5 year warranty...(Most of the Sedeci has a lifetime...heated is only 1 year)...I took my Bilt Huricane Boots in...They replaced them because they where leaking at the toes after 3500 miles...
