I'm probably the last person on the planet who would buy something like this (i ride in shorts all year round for the most part) but my initial thoughts are this.

£80 for a set of plastic bags over my legs that I can rip off like a stripper?! I get the breathable tech in them, but not having looked into these things before, that price is scary.

They seem to be quite tight fitting.. Maybe some looser fit would be more appealing.

The video should have some kind of demonstration. (Think panty liner commercials where they pour water onto them)

The shoe protectors.. Is that he industry standard coverage? I get as much water in the ankles as anywhere else.. This would be of no benefit to me.

Like I said, I'm not your target audience, but those are my initial thoughts.
