Best cycling overshoes to add to your basket

GripGrab RaceThermo Winter Overshoes

GripGrab believes these cycling overshoes are a winner due to the quality materials and practical design the brand has put to use. They’re made with 4mm-thick neoprene designed to keep your feet warm, and there’s no zip at the back, which should mean you get even more protection from the wind and rain.

Plus, you’ll find durable rubberised seams on the bottom of the overshoes, which are designed to hug your feet and stop water splashes from underneath getting inside.

If you do a lot of cycling in low light, consider the high-vis version of these overshoes, which will help you stay safe on the roads.
