Anyone got a pair and would like to share an opinion on them. Think Sep has been rocking a pair most of the season

    They are one of the few pairs of overshoes that test faster than just standard shoes. Problem is they're silly expensive and not very robust. Poor ROI if you ask me.

    Edit: I assume you're asking for TT. If you plan on road racing in this you'll be lucky to get two races.

    Yeah for TTing. Cost is putting me off.

    Anyone got any ideas for a different pair?

    VeloToze are marginally faster but your feet will sweat. Other than that look to PU covers.

  • Castelli aero race? Although Castelli themselves say they are prone to wear and a case of performance over practicality!

    I doubt the Aero Race are much, if at all, faster. And yes, they wear quick (I have a set).
