Castelli Diluvio Shoe Covers — Reviewed

Posted in Cycling Apparel Info., Cycling Information, Product Reviews, tagged , , on March 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

A ride with cold feet isn’t a good ride. It doesn’t matter if your legs are sweating, you’re wearing 2 layers too much on the top, and your head is wet with sweat from a balaclava — cold fee ruin the ride. Ruin it! It seems like hardcore winter cyclist have their very own “custom made” shoe cover that might include Duct Tape, maybe plastic baggies, chemical toe warmers, or maybe a combination of toe warmers with shoe covers.

Think about baseball — the uniform consists of a pair of pants, a button up jersey, and a hat; all need to be a accommodating for a few different positions that a player may be in while playing baseball. Positions you may see baseball players in while playing baseball: standing in the field, sitting in the dugout, swinging a bat, running on occasions, and spitting sunflower seeds.
