Tightening Type

A product’s ability to protect against the cold depends on its thermal resistance and breathability. The higher the thermal resistance, the more body heat it retains while you ride.
During intense rides, perspiration on your hands can make them feel cold. We therefore recommend exercising at a moderate intensity in cold weather.

Product warmth

Waterproofness is a fabric’s ability to prevent rainwater from soaking through. 
Water repellency refers to a fabric’s ability to make water bead off its surface without being absorbed. The fabric soaks up little or no moisture, dries more quickly, and remains light. Water repellency also helps keep the outer surface cleaner.
Water repellency is obtained by applying a treatment to the fabric's external surface.
This product is not waterproof!

Top Shape

To determine a fabric’s breathability, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower its resistance, the more perspiration escapes and the more breathable it is. •	RET < 6: extremely breathable, suitable for intense workouts
•	RET 6 to 12: very breathable, designed for moderate exercise
•	RET 12 to 20: average breathability, not comfortable for intense exercise
• RET >20: little breathability, inappropriate for exercise

Support Type

Protection Area

A product's ability to offer protection from the cold. It depends on the material's thermal resistance and how much air can pass through it. The higher its thermal resistance, the more the product retains the heat produced by the body while cycling.

To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092). 
The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapour produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is. 
For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric

Machine wash at 30°C. Synthetic cycle. Turn the garment inside out. Use minimal laundry detergent. Do not add softener. Line dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.

These products are complementary.
Toe covers give you more freedom and are much easier to put on and remove, but only work down to temperatures of 8–9°C.
Being both easy to use and compact makes them a popular choice with cyclists.

Overshoes or toe covers?

The easiest way is to slide your fingers over the instep of your shoe to separate the two. Then slide your fingers around under your shoe to pull the cover off over the cleat. And you’re done!

Taking your toe covers off

Main fabric: Rubber
Inner fabric: Polyamide.
Outer fabric: PU (polyurethane).

What we call neoprene is in fact a foam sandwiched between two layers. The outer layer is what makes the toe covers windproof and waterproof. The thickness of the foam (2–5 mm) helps keep you warm.

Technical specifications

To stop your feet from getting cold, you need good blood flow.
If you tighten your shoes too much, you will restrict blood flow to your feet, making them feel cold. Very thick winter shoes can also squeeze your feet inside your shoes.

It’s often the wind that makes you feel cold, so it’s a good idea to use a windproof toe cover.

Tips to stop your feet from getting cold

Durability

Zipperless design makes it easy to put on.

Overshoes specifically designed for road cycling in temperatures between 3°C and 10°C.

When it comes to waterproofness and durability, the weak link for overshoes is usually the zipper. The zipper is the most fragile part and will usually fail first due to the amount of pressure at the heel. 

Why no zipper? 

Here’s how to put it on without a zipper. Step 1: pull the overshoe on and up over the calf. Step 2: put your shoe on. Step 3: pull the overshoe back down over the shoe. 

Instructions

This product is designed to be used with road cycling shoes, which tend to be narrow. If your shoes are wider than average, then buy one size larger. 

Sizing

If your tights aren’t water repellent, they’re highly likely to soak up rain. Even the best overshoes in the world wouldn't help: if your tights are in contact with your socks, they'll absorb water through the capillary effect.
This is why all Van Rysel winter tights, such as the Racer long tights, are created with a water-repellent membrane.

Capillary action

Fleece lining offers good protection against the cold.

Highly breathable fabric (RET 5.2), merino mesh under the arms.

Zippered chest pocket, 5 back pockets (including 2 with zipper), 2 side pockets.

Full-length zipper allows good ventilation when you get warm.

Merino wool inserts under the arms reduce odour.

Odour control

Silicone band at the waist keeps the jersey in place.

Full-length zipper makes it easy to put on and remove.

Too cold for a short-sleeved jersey and too warm for a winter jacket? This long-sleeved jersey is designed to protect you in mid-season.

Classic fit: Fitted and comfortable. This timeless cut is perfect for your longer bike rides, whether you’re biking or having a break.

This fit is tighter than our Relaxed Fit, but not as tight as our Pro Fit.

To see if a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance (RET) based on the ISO 11092 standard. The lower the RET value, the more perspiration can escape and the more breathable the fabric is. 
•	RET < 6: extremely breathable, suitable for intense workouts
•	RET 6 to 12: very breathable, designed for moderate exercise
•	RET 12 to 20: average breathability, not comfortable for intense exercise
• RET >20: little breathability, not suitable for exercise

With Straps

To ensure greater comfort in the saddle, we created this medium density chamois pad.
The fabric is soft and breathable. The padded zone is soft, with a density of 100 kg/m³ and a thickness of 13 mm. Perforated fabric actively wicks away perspiration. The pad keeps you comfortable on rides of up to 2 hours.

Our new medium density pad

The shape of the padded zones was defined by tests on a sheet of pressure, designed from a dummy moulding and approved after various trials and usage tests. These tests, conducted on real cyclists, involved measuring the pressure points on the saddle. The padded zone covers contact points where pressure is greater. There is a dart at the front for a better fit.

Shape

The ischium bone and the perineum are covered and protected. The reinforced area between the legs is relatively narrow to prevent irritation from rubbing while pedalling. Channels have been embossed into the reinforcements to provide greater flexibility.

Reinforced areas

Machine wash at 30°C. Wash on a synthetics cycle. Turn the garment inside out. Do not add fabric softener. Hang to dry in a warm, well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not add bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.

Based at the Btwin Village in Lille, our product design team constantly works to make cycling more comfortable for our users.
