  • Are These The Best Overshoes You Can Buy? - Spatz Pro Stealth Review
    This is the new Spatz Pro Stealth overshoe system, a product that they’ve been developing for about two years. They’re made up of the main overshoes themselves, and these, the Pro Stealth Toe Warmers. So lets take a closer look at them.
    Toe Warmers:
    The toe warmers are made from neoprene, and are designed to sit over your shoes. They’ve got a silicone seal around the cleat aperture, which apparently helps to keep the water out. They’ve then got another seal around the outside that sits against another seal that runs around the inside of the overshoe.
    Overshoes:
    The main body of the overshoe is made from neoprene….. the same stuff they make wetsuits from. The idea being the moisture is locked in, and your body warms it. It has a Kevlar toe box, and the reinforced fabric we saw on the inside of the previous model is now on the whole ankle area. And the entire shin area has a thermal fleece fabric.

    I received my pair today and size m/l for 45 shoe size seems ok. The hole in toe warmers for the cleat seems very small it pushes up against the cleat, am sure after a few clip ins am sure they will Frey. Have also emailed Spatz see what they say

    • @ribblevalleycyclist
      @ribblevalleycyclist  3 місяці тому +1

      Hi Kevin,
      I did an old Vs new, so didn't actually try the toe warmers. I will do though. Keep me posted as to how you get on with them.
      Thanks,
      Jon

    Hi, great video and thank you braving really pants weather. For the sake of clarity were the Spatz overshoes a freebie, or paid for from your own cash? If the former then imo the review would be a paid promotion, im not doubting the product quality for one minute though as clearly they work. Btw i bought a creworks 6l hydrosonic cleaner after your excellent review and never looked back! Keep up the good work and excellent reviews and tutorials as i look forward to them!🙂🙂🙂

      Hi,
      The vast majority of my Spatz kit was purchased by me using my own money. This includes the old Roadman 3 overshoes both featured in this video, and previously reviewed. Spatz supplied these overshoes to me without charge, to openly and honestly review them. As stated at 02:14 in the video, Spatz does not pay me to promote their products.
      Hope this information helps.

    Good video Jon...am interested in buying a pair on your recommendation...would have been good if you'd mentioned the retail price in video. Thanks again and keep 'em coming pal, you do good work 🚴😉👍

      You’re right. Did think of that during editing, so put a screenshot into the video of their page showing the price. But you’re right though, should’ve mentioned it.

      Ohhhhhh, borderline I’d say. Both of my pairs of cycling shoes are 44, and I’m in a M/L….. but it’s close. With that in mind, I’d drop them an email, they’re quick to respond 👍

      @@gmivisualsjason3729 Hi Jason,
      These overshoes and the heated insoles are different solutions to different problems.
      Overshoes:
      Ideal for foul weather rides in the rain. Will keep your feet warm and dry. But if it’s very cold for prolonged periods, you’ll start to get cold feet. Additionally, they’re designed to retain heat, so the heat needs to be there for them to work.
      Heated insoles:
      Ideal for extremely cold rides, or for people that suffer with cold feet. Will keep your feet warm for upto 14 hours. They won’t keep you dry….. Obviously, but they should keep you warm. Additionally, they will apply heat that isn’t/wasn’t there.
      Hope this helps.
      Jon

    Just another neoprene overshoes. You would still get wet if you end up in heavy rain because water sprays from below.
