As recently as the late 1980s, professional road cyclists would wear a pair of socks over their shoes while racing and training. Why did they do this? They would answer "It’s warmer, more aerodynamic, keeps my best shoes cleaner and looks better". Of course, one could argue that putting cotton socks over cycling shoes makes none of those possible. DeFeet crafted a solution that keeps windchill off the feet, creates smoother lines, keeps dirt out, looks better, and ultimately makes riders faster. Slipstream’s™ also last much longer than a pair of socks while barely costing more. And with the Reflective Stripe 4" Overshoes you'll be more noticeable on the road too. PLEASE NOTE - A small hole is required to be cut for your shoe cleat - NOT waterproof, these overshoes are designed to reduce windchill - Low temperature wash only - Not suitable for tumble dryer use - This item comes as a pair

This super fast looking city slicker turns any bike into a racer, helping bike messengers meet those tight deadlines or fitness riders who require a faster tyrePuncture protection and reliability is taken care of thanks to Continental's renowned hard wearing tread compound and two SafetySystem anti puncture layers beneath the treadAn improved 180 tpi (threads per inch) nylon casing increases speed and comfort. This is because the finer casing material deforms more quickly around imperfections in the road surface compared to a lower tpi casing. This feature also improves puncture resistanceThe Contact Speed also features a 'skinwall' sidewall. Most city/trekking tyres use a 'gumwall' meaning lots of rubber in the sidewall to improve sidewall puncture resistance. A skinwall sidewall is much faster than a gumwall but just a little forward thinking is needed to avoid scuffing kerbs and to always maintain the minimum recommended tyre pressure'Micro-diamond' tread pattern rolls fast yet grips on loose debris covering road surfaces like grit, gravel or mudReflective SidewallAble to be used with dynamo lightsConstructed from 3 plies, totalling 180 tpiWeight: 480 grams
