Reviews over the

GripGrab Arctic

At first use a bit of searching but once you know the technique, they fit perfectly. So description is completely correct.

Pros & Cons

You stand out nicely and they are warm enough!

Pros & Cons

Had initially ordered a size too small, easy to return, fast service and had a size bigger shortly after ! Good and warm overshoes

Pros & Cons

Combined with the Gribgrap thermolite winter socks SL, these are the ideal overshoes for temperatures below freezing. At a wind chill of -10 no cold toes. Putting them on and off is difficult because there are no zippers. But that does not outweigh the comfort of warm feet in winter.

Pros & Cons

Satisfy excellent

Pros & Cons

Matches my expectation!

Pros & Cons

Still wet feet, rain still runs into your shoe through your leg pieces. Warmth is ok.

Pros & Cons

Putting it on does make me think twice before using it. It pretty much costs me my back, but still. When it's on, it's on and it's nice and does what it's supposed to do.

Pros & Cons

Bought these because I always have cold feet with temperatures around freezing, which starts at plus 3 degrees. Now have nice warm feet again and especially my toes stay nice and warm. Got size 43 of shoe (Sidi), and ordered size 44-45. They fit perfectly and can be used on both Mtb and road bikes

Pros & Cons

Nice and warm overshoes in a cool colour. Looks great with the yellow gloves

Pros & Cons

Fine and fits well. As mentioned elsewhere , putting on and taking off is quite a thing , I now do: put on trousers first, then get these things on, then flip over, put on socks, then put on shoes and flip back, and the trousers over the top overshoes (so it never rains in) Taking off with sweaty feet is tricky, I liked the zips better.

Pros & Cons

Already tested in cold weather down to -1 degrees with pleasant results. Protects well against winter weather conditions.

Pros & Cons

It takes some getting used to putting on and taking off but it works fine!

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with my order

Pros & Cons

Few weeks in use, during mostly wet road rides with (felt) temperature just below freezing to 10 degrees above zero. No cold or wet feet since using these. The fit well over my shoes but still close well without leaving spaces open, also due to the Velcro closure under the sole (shoes: DMT with single BOA closure). After use, the overshoes are easy to take off again. With the experience so far, I expect them to be adequate in temperatures down to - 5 and hopefully even lower. Very satisfied with this purchase. Also easy to clean by rinsing them after the ride and wiping them dry+clean with a cloth. As my size shoe (45.5) was exactly between the sizes indicated (44-45 and 46-47), I had both sizes delivered to Mantel near here. On the advice of an employee, went for the largest size first with fitting and that indeed turned out to be the right size. Because of in-store delivery, I only had to pay for this pair and did not have to pay for both pairs in advance and send another pair back after trying them on. Fine and good service from Mantel!

Pros & Cons

Prompt delivery , very good visability , good value

Pros & Cons

I am not yet completely convinced about the quality of this overshoe. Worn the other day on a wet road and still got wet feet so cold toes. Because the insulation is fine, it did get better after a while but it wasn't much better.

Pros & Cons

Nice fitting overshoe that when combined with winter socks gives comfortably warm feet and also looks sophisticated. The size is excellent. I read many reviews about the fit being too small, but I suspect that means people want to step into the overshoes with their shoes on. Indeed, you can't: you have to put on the overshoe first, then your shoe and then slip the overshoe over the shoe. Only drawback, though, is that in the meantime the Velcro catches in your (merino wool) winter socks.

Pros & Cons

No larger size taken, just the same size that matches my shoes. Put on overshoes first, then shoes. Combined with hot packs, I no longer suffer from cold feet at 0 degrees.

Pros & Cons

Sit nice and warm

Pros & Cons

First had size 44/45, within 2 months the red inner lining was torn off. Neatly refunded by Mantel. Had larger size sent off. Same experience with putting on and taking off. Returned it again and ordered another with a zip.

Pros & Cons

Good product at reasonable price

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Warm and waterproof, just tricky to put on and take off.

Pros & Cons

Model is slightly warmer than the previous model whose zip broke. This is no longer possible with the new model as it is zipperless. The XXXL size fits just over my shoes (size 49). Putting it on and taking it off requires a bit of wriggling, but it works.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

In my wider mtb shoes, the noses come off. Sat is a shame. On road bike shoes, they stay on just fine.

Pros & Cons

Warm, waterproof but small size. Also, when you're out mountain biking and you have to put your foot on the ground, the front of the foot tends to come off, so you have to put it back on, which is difficult (mud, water, etc).

Pros & Cons

Had expected more from it. After an hour and a half of cycling, still chipped toes.

Pros & Cons

Great fit, stops less cold than I had hoped

I have now worn the shoes once at a temperature of about 4 degrees. The overshoes have a fur on the inside. My feet stayed nice and warm but my toes got cold after a while. This could also be due to my road bike shoes. The overshoes are pricey but worth it. Putting them on is simple, but taking them off is a thing. If, like me, you perspire a lot, you have to pull hard to get the overshoes off.

Pros & Cons

Always suffer from cold feet very quickly, rode with these overshoes at -3 and had no cold. I should have bought these much sooner

Pros & Cons

The overshoes are warm and waterproof and look nice. But are very difficult to get over my cycling shoes. Still a pity there is no zip in them.

Pros & Cons

I myself am a size 42.5 and I ordered the XL (44-45) and the XXL (46-47). Unfortunately, I had to return both of them. I certainly don't have thick lower legs, but these overshoes are way too tight/painful around the lower leg, you really need to take 5 or 6 sizes larger, I think, for them to fit around the leg, but then the overshoe itself becomes too wide again.

Pros & Cons

These shoes are fine on their own, good fit if you follow advice, good visibility, nice finish and because it is made of smooth material, good to keep clean. However, below 5 degrees your feet don't really stay warm (while I also wear good merino wool socks), especially on rides longer than 1.5 hours. The cold comes mainly through the bottom and the toes. I am certainly not a cold person but I would have expected more from this. In addition, the overshoe is on the thick side so it can loosen against the crank.

Pros & Cons

Perfect for dark, cold winter nights. Highly visible, warm. Does what it is supposed to do so. Easy to put on and take off.

Pros & Cons

Great product. Buy size larger as they come out small.

They are super nice overshoes! Fit nice and tight over the shoe and are wonderfully warm! I have now done a few rides with them in temperatures around freezing point and no more cold feet.... Great!

Pros & Cons

It is a good product, thick neoprene that an itself insulates well. Good visibility and the overshoe is also easy to put on. Up to 2/3 degrees I have warm feet in combination with Merino winter socks. But around 0, I still get cold toes. The reason is not because these overshoes are no good, but the cold comes largely through the sole of the shoe. Also, the Neoprene is so thick that I hit my crank on one side. In short, good product, but, if you really want warm feet below '0', go straight for winter shoes.

Pros & Cons

Good and fine overshoes.

Pros & Cons

size 44/45 with 43 shoes and no problems. relatively easy to put on. the price is higher but it's worth it.
