GripGrab RaceThermo

Deliberately chose GripGrab because of its good quality, Unfortunately I can't say the same for these overshoes, seams in the heel let go after only three weeks. Pity, especially considering the price. Going to ask Mantel to send me new ones.

After the second montainbike ride, fluo has already been removed at the level of the ankle due to friction. Velcro under the shoe comes off easily.

Pros & Cons

I know - the controversy - I want it windproof, but breathable at the same time. And yet there are products that can offer just that. Windproof from the front, protecting you from very rapid heat loss. And breathable from behind so the steam coming off you while cycling can escape. Not this overshoe. All the steam stays trapped inside... I can feel my socks (feet) getting wet from my sweat. Really unpleasant feeling. Fabric used to make overshoes feels like thick rubber. After riding, I take off overshoes and everything inside is damp. I would advise against these overshoes in low temperatures (0~5) because it is counterproductive - your foot gets damp and hence you get more cold feet. And at higher temperatures they are completely unusable.... In short, I will not use them again. A fat mis-buy from me. My search for windproof yet "breathable" overshoes (in yellow, "hiviz", colour) continues. Oh yes..and because they are made of quite thick rubber they keep rubbing against krank. Because of this if I were to keep using these they will wear out quickly.
