Protects against wind and rain

Not intended as extra insulation but protects well against wind and rain. This is the desired effect, keeping it clean and windproof so your warm socks can do their job. Runs very tight, order one size larger if available.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • boring packaging

keep your feet dry; as a warning color.

Keep my feet dry, great in combination with the Gore Wear C3 pants over it - the feet stay dry even after an hour of riding in the rain. Haven't had them that long but I hope they hold up well. They are not heat resistant. Therefore, if you want to prepare for winter, look for something else - this is pure protection from water and wind riding in the autumn-spring season.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Too small for men

Very small! They are listed as mountain bike overshoes, so assume they run larger (since mountain bike shoes are typically larger than road shoes). However, XL doesn't even fit Specialized 2FO 42-43 (US size 9.5). This is usually considered the average shoe size. I returned it to try the XXL but I may have to return it as well.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Very expensive

The shoe size

. I liked the elasticity of the material and it seemed like they added warmth. But the problem is the size. My mountain bike boots are a size 11 (probably 45 euros) so I went with the XL as recommended. Too small. Came back and got XXL. Still too small, not even a little bit. What shoes do you think people wear on a mountain bike? Small carbon shells? My shoes are only SPD shoes that I can walk in (they have a profile). It doesn't strike me as crazy.

Pros
  • does not match the size. Looking forward to
Cons
  • . Durability
