what did you do with your fazer today ?

[robbo]

No the Scott’s aren’t cheap, but trust me they do work. There’s a group of about 10 of us, and every one to a man has them. When we’re away for a week abroad, and the weather turns nasty, you are on the bike all day and every day usually, and being wet would make the trip a total waste of time. I agree on the Gerbings, they do wet out. I use duck wax to try and enhance their waterproof ness on my heated ones, but if you’re in rain long enough they will leak. Rukka Virium(textile) or Rukka Apollo (the leather equivalent), both of which are goretex, are all I’d wear in persistent rain. Again not cheap, but they do what it says on the tin.
I used to use the boot covers before goretex boots came out with success. Can’t remember the make off hand,but I’ll try and find out, might have been made by Held.
As a last resort, pedal bin liners over your socks is a good “get out of jail” option
