Assos - Unisex Rain Booties - Black Series
Ultra-lightweight, zip-free waterproof overshoes
These rain booties are intended to help you face bad weather head-on.
A race-tuned rework of a classic item of cycling apparel, they were tweaked for the UCI WorldTour and set a new benchmark, employing a blend of high-tech materials and an ingenious construction that locks out wind and water without compromising on weight or breatheability.
To give these super-lightweight Rain Booties their edge, ASSOS' fabric specialists have deployed an innovative internal membrane that prevents any water from seeping into your riding shoe.
As conventional overshoes frequently struggle with rainwater entering from the bottom or ankle while riding, the designers decided to adopt a waterproof internal membrane instead. This means that the overshoe essentially creates a seal around your shoe, stopping the water from penetrating it and keeping your feet dry.
The taped raw-cut edges around the cleat hole and heel, raw-cut ankle edges and a zip-free design all contribute to its premium quality and keep the volume to a minimum. The result is a high performance piece of equipment that’s fit for pros and amateurs alike, so you will be ready when the storm hits.
