Cons

  • Velcro across sole

See verdict and spec

Wet, frozen feet are no fun at all on a ride — you’ll be scurrying home dreaming of slippers. We’ve tested nine pairs of overshoes, from full-on winter warmers to 3-Season covers

Great fabric and superb fit explain the success of the HydroShield.

Water is kept at bay exceptionally well and, despite the Velcro closure across the sole, the stretchy, snug shape prevents too much seepage from underneath.

Giordana Hydroshield overshoes

Verdict

This wind and moisture barrier also keeps your feet pretty warm, even though the fabric is relatively thin. Great spring overshoes.

Your review of the Giordana bootie claims to be the Hydroshield model, but the images are the Giordana Nordic AV (which is not a waterproof, but a cool-weather/wind bootie "anti-vento") - which is it ? Thanks

well made but are too high up your leg and feel like you have bicycle clips strangling your calf, restricting your ankle movement. They don't need to be half way up your leg and cut lower would be very good overshoes. So far at 3 deg. celsius my feet were only just getting cold, where as they would be numb with the others I have. However, I don't find them comfortable and at 5-10 deg I will be wearing others. These, I would give 3.5-4 stars but I have read a lot of Net reviews and spent over £100 on overshoes, only to find 4 star overshoes. A 5-star overshoe does not seem to exist and in my experience an overshoe purchase is one of compromise, depending on whether warmth or waterproofing is your primary concern.
