My 10 year old PI Toe covers were starting to fall apart so picked up these to replace them. They keep my feet comfortable for 18mph road riding down to upper 30's if I have good core warming gear on, but everyone is different on temperature tolerance. I will say these feel warmer than the ones they replaced, and they are easy enough to put on and give good coverage. My shoes have 2 Boa adjustments so i need to reach under or pull them back to reach that lower adjustment, but very doable based on my experience. I would recommend them.
This is the 3rd pair of these covers that I've purchased. Each last about 2 years commuting daily through the winter months until the velcro wears out and won't stick any more - which is my biggest complaint about them, it's the premium velcro version, but the loop side ultimately frays to the point of not sticking any longer. The Waterproof holds up well with the occasional Nik-Wax wash.
Just bought a pair for this winter (2024), and they're noticeably smaller than my previous sets. I wear a size 44 shoe and the size Large from this year fits tighter than the last 2 sets I've had. It's workable, but tight.
I wear this jersey a couple times a week. I'm 5'10" and about 215 pounds. Initially, I thought I bought a size too small (large) because the first zip up was a little snug, but I have a large belly (about 40 inches). I decided to keep the large, and it fits better the more I ride. I prefer the older style shorter sleeve length, but the elbow length seems to be the style now. I went with the light gray/whitish color because I ride before sunrise, and I feel like the lighter color helps drivers see me. Overall, it fits fairly well, and I'm happy with the jersey.
These shorts are not the perfect shorts but they are the closest thing to perfect. As far as the padding, it is placed in the perfect position for me, they have the correct density of padding for me, the chamois could of been a little more narrower in between the legs while standing but the extra material isn't noticed while riding which is important, owning several different brands, i prefer these over the rest.
Definitely will buy again.
