Overshoes

Although fairly warm for their lack of bulk and weight, these minimally styled overshoes are let down by a few key details

Superb weather protection and great performance but durability issues mean you might want them for 'Sunday best' rides only

For light winter temperatures and the odd rain shower, Q36.5's WP overshoes are a brilliant and comfortable choice

Deliver good all-round performance in changeable conditions

Good waterproofing, warmth and fit for not a huge amount of cash

Strong, light, windproof and very usefully water resistant – and the same price as the old version

Made-to-last overshoes with effective lighting at the heels, but a very tight fit

Exceptional warmth and excellent waterproofing – better than most winter boots

Impressive breathability, warmth and versatility, but a few areas need work

Fantastic close fit from a flexible fabric that isn't fully waterproof but keeps out drizzle and spray

Impressively robust and protective toe covers, if not the cheapest

Great attention to detail for a simple product and they're very warm
