Socks & Overshoes

Selecting the appropriate hosiery depends largely on the intensity of your ride and the external temperature. For high-tempo summer efforts, our Pro Team socks utilise a lightweight, breathable mesh to regulate temperature and wick sweat efficiently. Conversely, for colder conditions, we recommend socks with a higher merino wool content to provide natural insulation even when damp. Matching your socks to the season is just as important as choosing the best cycling jerseys to maintain your core temperature and ensure you remain comfortable from the first mile to the last.

Oversocks are generally knitted and designed to provide a layer of wind protection and keep your shoes clean during dry, crisp rides. They offer a classic aesthetic that pairs perfectly with our traditional mens cycling jerseys. Overshoes, however, are technical accessories built for harsher conditions. Made from materials like neoprene or PU-coated polyester with taped seams, they offer robust waterproofing and thermal insulation. While oversocks are ideal for spring and autumn, overshoes are essential for protecting your feet against heavy rain and freezing road spray during winter.

A precise fit is vital to ensure your overshoes remain aerodynamic and provide a total seal against the elements. Our Wet Weather and Winter overshoes are designed to be high-stretch but firm; they should be pulled on over your cycling shoes to create a sleek silhouette. Many of our designs feature a zipperless construction or a Velcro base to prevent water ingress and improve durability. When sized correctly, they should sit snugly against your leg, ideally underneath the hem of your bib tights, much like the streamlined fit of our elite cycling jerseys.

Our road-specific overshoes are designed with pre-cut, reinforced openings for three-bolt cleat systems used on road bikes. Using these with chunky mountain bike or gravel shoes can lead to premature wear or damage to the reinforced Kevlar sole. If you primarily ride off-road, we recommend our Explore range or specific mountain bike-compatible covers. Ensuring the correct pairing ensures your gear lasts longer and performs better, whether you are wearing casual gravel gear or your most aerodynamic mens cycling jerseys for a fast road session.

To maintain the technical properties of your accessories, we recommend a cool machine wash at 30°C or 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of performance fabrics and affect the moisture-wicking capabilities of your socks. For overshoes, simply wipe away road grit with a damp cloth after wet rides to prevent the salt and dirt from degrading the waterproof coatings. Just like caring for high-quality cycling jerseys, proper maintenance ensures your kit remains in peak condition for many seasons of riding.
