Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Hempton Cycle Overshoe is designed for cyclists using cleated footwear, offering water repellency and insulation for wet or cold conditions. Its key benefit is protection from the elements while maintaining a streamlined fit. A potential caveat is that individuals with broader cycling shoes might need to size up. This overshoe features durable Kevlar reinforcement, reflective detailing for visibility, and a closed-sole design to prevent water ingress.

FAQs

Are these overshoes waterproof or water-repellent?

The Hempton overshoes are water-repellent and designed to protect from splashes and light rain. They are not fully submersible waterproof.

Can I use these with mountain bike shoes?

These overshoes are designed for cleated cycling footwear, which includes most road and some types of gravel or cross-country mountain bike shoes. Check the fit around the cleats and sole.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide if available. As a general rule, they should fit snugly over your cycling shoes. People with broader-fitting cycle shoes should consider moving up a size.

How should I clean my Hempton Cycle Overshoes?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the Kevlar heel and toe?

Kevlar is a highly durable material that provides resistance to abrasion and wear from the repeated actions of clipping into pedals and contact with crank arms.

Do these provide insulation for very cold weather?

They offer insulation against wind chill and cool conditions. For extreme cold, you may need additional thermal socks or dedicated winter cycling boots.

Troubleshooting

Overshoe is difficult to pull on.

Ensure the zipper is fully open. Try slightly stretching the opening before inserting your shoe. If persistent, consider if a larger size is needed, especially for broader shoes.

Water is leaking into the overshoe.

Check that the rear zipper is fully closed and the closed sole design is properly seated around your shoe. Inspect for any tears or damage to the material.

Reflective detailing is peeling.

Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe the affected area; significant peeling may indicate wear and tear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective water and wind protection for cycling.
  • Durable construction with Kevlar reinforcement in key areas.
  • Enhanced visibility due to reflective elements.
  • Easy to put on and take off with the rear zipper.
  • Streamlined design reduces drag and fits well over most cycling shoes.

Cons

  • May require sizing up for cyclists with broad-fitting shoes.
  • Primarily designed for cleated cycling shoes, not general footwear.
  • Limited insulation for extreme cold compared to dedicated winter boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your cycling shoes are clean before putting on the overshoes. Slip the overshoe over your shoe, aligning the cleat opening if applicable. Fasten the rear zipper. For broad-fitting cycling shoes, consider ordering one size up.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with cleated cycling footwear. Not intended for use with casual shoes.

Care:

  1. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  2. Do not machine wash.
  3. Do not tumble dry.
  4. Hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
