Overshoes
Hi everyone,
After Sunday's club run, it has become apparent to me that I need a better pair of overshoes. Can anyone recommend any? Does anyone have any experience of neoprene ones - I want some waterproof ones, but concerned that neoprene might be a bit hot and sweaty.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks

Or from your local Pro stockist..
Best Overshoes I've ever used Forget trying to get waterproof ones, your feet will sweat and get just as wet, overshoes which contain windstopper is far more important.

Thanks everyone
Fair enough, George, but I was thinking more of keeping (some of) the water out after Sunday. In any case, it won't be 12-15 degrees all winter!Overshoes!?! When it's 12 - 15 degrees C?
I'm inclined to think of woolly socks and mudguards long before reaching for the overshoes.

I went for the Pro ones in the end. In the spirit of scientific enquiry I took them out for a ride last night into a stiff chilly breeze and pouring rain, and I am pleased to report that they performed very well. Some water got in, inevitably, running down the legs of my tights, but my feet were still kept warm.
As I slogged through the rain, I felt that I had achieved the SAS level of hardness to go on a B run.
