Are you sure they are meant to be like that?
Seems so fundamental a flaw, that I wonder if there is a QC hiccup.

My Planet X overshoes are the same, but I don't have a problem with water ingress.
I think you would have to go out for a ride in the rain though as I doubt it will happen on warm sunny days like you ride on..

I used to commute with them day and night, 24/7, 365.

It's probably that you want the velcro on the outside of the foot where it won't foul the crank, and that if you had the overlap the other way, pulling it tight and sticking the velcro down would be a two-handed job, rather than the one-handed job it is.
my reading of it too. I had a pair that worked the same way

[QUOTE 5029716, member: 9609"]Is there any reason why the overlapping part of the velcro fastener on these overshoes faces forward - It just seems daft that any rain blowing onto them gets blown into the velco part where it can easily work its way through, I wear them inside out to combat this but can't help think, is there a reason for the design ?

Are you wearing steel toe cap boots under them ?

Yeahbut the OP turns them inside out so the opening is towards the back and doesn't seem to have any problems, so still a crap design. I'd rather use two hands and have better water resistance and suffer the small amount of inconvenience.
