"I wanted a winter hat I could wear under my helmet that kept my ears warm. Unlike many, this is made of a stretch windstopper fabric rather than a fleece. It fits comfortably under my helmet and does cover my ears. I have a small head (54cm) and the 54-58 size fits fine, if a fraction loose.

The only drawback, but I suspect this is true of all winter hats, is the loss of hearing and, when travelling faster, this is worsened by wind noise on the fabric."

Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit

"There have been previous reviews saying these are difficult to get on. I haven't found that. As long as they are roughly in place, standing on them pushes them home. They have softened after a couple of months use. They don't come off and they do protect my cleats. I just have to remember a) to put them on and b) to take them off before trying to get on the bike.

My last cleats lasted 10 months without these, I don't know how much more I will get out of the cleats with these but its worth a go and it does mean walking on polished floors a) isn't as slippery and b) doesn't mark the floors.

The cleat covers are made of strong thick plastic, although it is pliable so I suspect they will last a long time."

Pros: Durable, Good Fit

Any good as a winter tyre

I am looking to put some tyres with a better grip on my Gant Defy 1. I will probably go for 25mm. I have read various reviews and have a number of choices. These tyres seem to come out as having a lot of grip, which is my main concern.

Do they grip well in the wet?
Would you get these, Gators or Conti 4 seasons?

Tarmac NPU Road Overshoes

For the coming season the PRO overshoe range has been completely revamped and is bigger and better than ever. Innovative features, great designs, and excellent media reviews make PRO overshoes the obvious choice.

Help putting these overshoes on for a newbie

This is my first pair of overshoes and as they are neoprene I don't want to tear them especially before I have worked out if they fit. I have Specialized road shoes with velcro closures.

What is the best way to put these overshoes on?

I am sure I will feel dumb when the answer comes thru.

Thanks

what are the sizing guides on the overshoes

I have Specialized size 44 shoes. The XL size of these shoes fit well. They could probably handle size 45 shoes as well.

Thanks for the answers.

I ended up doing it the obvious way, i.e. put my shoes on and then try to slip the overshoe on. They are difficult to put on as they are very tight and your do have to use a lot of brute force to stretch the neoprene. Also you do have to keep an eye on the cleat as this can easily snag the inside.

I did discover that folding back the toe when I put my foot in helped a bit.

These would have been a lot easier to put on if the strap across the bottom had been velcro.
