These are the long (non UCI event approved) version of the oversocks worn by Mathieu van der Poel and the entire Alpecin-Deceuninck team.
The Windsock2 LONG version were developed specifically to offer maximum advantage in situations where Spatz are not limited by the UCI sock / oversock height limit ruling. They are cut to just below the knee for maximum coverage. In-woven silicone grippers were used to ensure a very comfortable fit with zero slippage. If you want to go fast, remain comfortable and look like a boss, Windsock2 LONG are your weapon of choice.
Developed for when you need immunity from the wind or protection from the elements when speed is key. The new Windsock2 LONG have a waterproof, stretchy, sleek fitting main panel with a super aerodynamic lycra leg section.
New features include:
• 2x leg grippers to ensure a non-slip grip. Spatz have added a very sticky silicone tape to the hem, in addition to a woven-in silicone gripper. Spatz do not know of another manufacturer who has gone to these levels to ensure a good fit on the legs.
• Striated, aero fabric is cut and tuned to follow the contours of the ankle joint and articulate beautifully without wrinkling / creasing on the pedal stroke.
• Cut knee high to smash through UCI length regulations.
• A very tough velcro fastener tucks neatly behind the cleat/pedal interface to allow easy wearing, tuning of fit and a very aerodynamic silhouette.
• Spatz have added a Kevlar toe area to avoid nicks and tears to the fabric. This is another first in Aero Overshoe design.
• Silicone grippers have been placed inside the heel area to lock the booties solid against your shoes. They will not "ride up" your heels during a race situation.
• A subtle logo in mid grey keeps things classy.
• Spatz do not know of another aero / TT oversock which fits so well, stays in position so well and actually stands up to the rigours of racing as the new Windsock2 Long.
Seams are positioned strategically right where you need them. Designed to make the most of the wind and ensure race-long comfort.
Flat stitching around the foot to lay seamlessly against your shoe. A genuinely beautiful design which is a pleasure to wear and use.
