Bought myself a present - Gore neon overshoes from Wiggle ...

[DCLane]

Having seen the last pics on the FNRTTC December run with these, I just had to get a pair since they were on offer at Wiggle for £29.99: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/gore-bike-wear-oxygen-so-neon-overshoes/

They arrived today and ... they're bright

I like those a lot!

 

[ianrauk]

yuk!!!

I detest yellow hi-viz.
But that's just my opinion and it doesn't mean much.

 

[DCLane]

Ian - it'll be only hi-viz stuff I wear (got a Hump backpack cover for commuting) but since I need better ones I thought ... "why not?".

 

[jonathanw]

mmm!

Commuter-tastic. No problem being seen with those on

 

[ianrauk]

Actually I do remember someone wearing a pair on the last FNRttC.

 

[derrick]

Loud or what,

 

[cyberknight]

Nice i would wear them.

I bought myself this as i figure it will be handy on a club run ....

Are you sure that pic was big enough, DC?
I'm with Ian- black with reflective bits for me.

Shudder

Wow, they are bright ! I got new overshoes myself for Christmas, I picked them up in a lbs sale for £20 Santini's but looking on line they are £36 or dearer in some places

 

[ceepeebee]

ha, that was me wearing them on the last fnrtttc - and yup, they're the only hi-vis thing I do wear apart from the lumi bits on my black gear. If they get noticed - then they're doing their job, is good that they're toasty warm and showerproof too.

 

[DiddlyDodds]

Do they come with a volume button so you can turn them down in built up areas and outside hospitals

 

[ceepeebee]

no, but if you listen very carefully whilst out in the countryside, you can hear the very slight hum they give off.
