Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Overshoes. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Defeet Slipstream Refelctive Stripe 4″Overshoes.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Defeet Slipstream Refelctive Stripe 4″Overshoes is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Overshoes. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Overshoes. Brands like Defeet are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Overshoes category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Overshoes.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Defeet Slipstream Refelctive Stripe 4″Overshoes Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Defeet Slipstream Refelctive Stripe 4″Overshoes reviews there.

  • Description: DeFeet Slipstream Reflective Stripe 4″ OvershoesThe DeFeet Slipstream Reflective Stripe 4″ Overshoes keep a cool wind at bay, prevent your best road shoes from getting covered in dirt and also boost your profile on the road when light levels are low. As recently as the late 1980s, professional road cyclists would wear a pair of socks over their shoes while racing and training. Why did they do this? They would answer “It’s warmer, more aerodynamic, keeps my best shoes cleaner and looks better”. Of course, one could argue that putting cotton socks over cycling shoes makes none of those possible. DeFeet crafted a solution that keeps windchill off the feet, creates smoother lines, keeps dirt out, looks better, and ultimately makes riders faster. Slipstream’s™ also last much longer than a pair of socks while barely costing more. And with the Reflective Stripe 4″ Overshoes you’ll be more noticeable on the road too.PLEASE NOTE- A small hole is required to be cut for your shoe cleat- NOT waterproof, these overshoes are designed to reduce windchill- Low temperature wash only- Not suitable for tumble dryer use- This item comes as a pairFeatures:Material: 94% Nylon, 6% LycraThe original DeFeet shoe cover designed to be worn over road cycling shoes with cleat systemsKeeps windchill off feet and dirt off shoesFeatures a knit-in cleat guide to cut your own openingThree season product; cool to cold, damp to dry conditionsReflective detailingMachine wash cool, tumble dry low or hang dry.
