What are the pros and cons of Lycra vs neoprene overshoes?

13-10-13, 11:53 AM

Both are more aerodynamic than nothing,
lycra is light weight and offers a bit of warmth with little to no wind protection and no waterproofing easy to put on, rips easy

Neoprene is wet suit material, offers warmth wind protection and stops some water getting in yet stays warm even when wet, yet is not as stretchy as lycra, so is harder to put on

If you want a bit of warmth go for neoprene or merino wool

maviczap · 13-10-13, 12:36 PM

Lycra ones are only for time trial riders

Neoprene as above

Another option is a Sealskinz oversock

Nothing apart from wellies are going to keep your feet 100% dry

Another option for warmer feet, depending on which pedal system you use.

You can also buy windproof overshoes, which do as they say, which won't keep your feet dry, but will keep them warmer by stopping wind chill.

As someone who really suffers from really cold feet whilst winter cycling I've yet to find anything I really like, that keeps my feet warm.

Or just buy a can of NEVERWET and treat your shoes with a coat of that

Have you used that NEVERWET?
Just did some looking online, looks impressive.
