Derri boots

Skill Magill

20 or so years ago I started work as a courier round Dublin. I remember the first week being sent out to bray in the pissings of rain in a Dunnes stores jacket,a pair of jeans and 8 hole docks on a cb100n.


Fúck knows why I stuck at it after that, I got home frozen, drenched and covered in shít. However, the next day I got myself a pair of Derri boots, leggings and rainjacket and all was well with the world.

So I was thinking, those Derri boots were a great bit of kit, just bungied on to the saddle and lash them on when it started píssing.
And I had a look on Amazon and they're reduced by 66% , which probably comes in at about €30 delivered using parcel motel.
Not a bad punt coming into the winter.

They are grand for almost everything but not for biking....no armour at all in them and Id say they are heavy enough. Many a boot you can get that are waterproof but no good for biking even wellies.

Ah they're only warm wellies, but you'll have dry feet. That said I use sealskinz in my sidi motocross boots ftw

Went through a pair years ago, shudder to think if I wore them in a RTA - best kept for gardening or something

I'd a pair in the 80's, and was a courier on a DT175 and a Yamaha XS400 ~ I'd loads of tumbles, brushed them off and went right back to work... Those were the days, clothing held together with duct tape and bikes held together with bungee cords

Sure the youngsters today don't know how easy they have it, with their gortex this and their nanotechnology that, we had it tough....
