Review on 🏻 VAUDE Bike Gaiter Short: Waterproof Shoe Cover with Reflective Elements and Breathable Design by Charles Barney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Daily commuter in Portland, Oregon

Have had them for six years now and despite my initial doubts about bottom strap wear, they continue to work. You need to buy according to the shoe size, and the table is European. So compare google to get the right size. Putting them on is not that difficult and they are completely waterproof. I rode in very, very heavy rain and my boots and socks stayed dry. I really like the reflective stripe on the back as I often commute to work on dark mornings or evenings during the winter. As I warm up quickly, I usually ride with a raincoat, mountain bike shorts and waterproof boots. Even though the stretch upper is quite tight, I still get leaks from rain running down my feet, so I carry spare socks with me if it rains hard enough to get them wet. When gaiters are tucked into raincoats, shoes and socks stay very dry. As they are open at the bottom you will get wet if you drive through a big puddle! Yes. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • poorly designed
