Water proof, well insulated, hi-tech "lacing" system tightens to a perfect fit. Super comfortable and the hardware on the bottom does NOT hit the floor when you walk. Used only a few times. The Shimano "clipless" shoes are $35 The "clipless" pedals are $30 Both the Garneau boots and the Shimano shoes fit the pedals (both are Mens Size 8), which were $100 new. The web site link shows a different model but it is very much like this except different upper fabric. The Rain Covers for the Shimano shoes $10 The helmets are $20 for each. The backpack is $75 (PERFECT for cycling)
