Is anyone else tired of getting wet feet on the commute to work? Is your current solution suboptimum? Should I do something about it?
Wet it rains, personally….taking another form of transport is not a solution! Mudguards only do half the job. Overshoes are bulky to carry and a pain to put on. Shoe changes are inconvenient and need foresight. Available waterproof trousers stop working at the ankle. Ponchos are ugly and impractical. And I can name over 5 other solutions that are just ridiculous!
As an entrepreneur and cyclist I’ve decided to try to solve this problem. My idea is for a pair of waterproof trousers with integrated overshoes. Something simple, functional and stylish. It’s not an easy design problem to crack but I think it’s possible.
What do you think? A worthy problem to solve? A product you would potentially buy?
Thanks for your comments!
