[Closed] Ive had a stupendous idea! Neoprene foot cowls!

The cuffs of Marigold gloves work in a similar way. Druidh told me that one.

Hahah! Jojo and the Onion, that's superb. I have some marigolds at home.

Right if anyone sees a curious chap with bright yellow ankles on the penmachno later this week....Ill be the dry one. 🙂

Or get some of these:

I have some that I use hiking, but they wont stay up my bare leg long and they dont seal around the top where the rain drips down when riding.

You can get black rubber gloves these days, unless you prefer the yellow or pink ones...

I get over this by not caring that my feet are wet...Works for me, as long as they're warm, then I'm good to go...

and you'd know this because.....?

😉

I can see this getting complex:

Cycling specific gaiters. That's what we need.

nick - you were born with webbed toes, of course you dont mind having wet feet. The rest of us do 😉

Depends what you mean by "OK" 😯

Problem with drysuit seals is that the ankle seals are quite wide where they connect to the drysuit and would look completely rediculous. But you can easily get replacement drysuit seals on ebay.

What kind of f&*^ed up childhood do you need to have to find that shit arousing...

Or is it that I'm not sufficiently posh? just a Civil Service, Judge, director of the FIA, sort of thing?

[i]and would look completely rediculous. [/i]

You haven't seen Stoner riding a bike have you?

I reckon we should get madison to knock some up. My commissions is cheap.

My shimano boots came with built in Neoprene cuffs. They even have velcro on to allow for different sized legs.

"OK" for viewing in a lawyer's office Im guessing 😉

there is a better solution which I started making last night 🙂

Mine too but they still let the water in 🙁

Lots of dry and semi-dry suit seals and socks [url= http://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/Drysuit-Seals-Latex-seals1.html ]here[/url] but all in latex. I don't think I've ever seen neaoprene ones for sale as they tend to build them into neoprene suits, not graft them on afterwards like they do with membrane suits.

I fully expect an "of course you did" response but I was just thinking about dry suit cuffs over shoes as a solution to shoes filling up just last night.

nice one shedfull

this would work, wouldnt it? only £7

Gary - my solicitor has already been notified of your crude attempts to cash in on my Intellectual Property.

You have got to be shitting me...

nickc and sfb.
two peas in a pod.
😉

Thanks...

Be sure and remember to take a piccy, so we can all [s]point and laugh[/s] marvel at your ingenuity

my [i]dry[/i] ingenuity, if you please.

I think you'll find that latex seals don't take too kindly to being dragged through brambles and wouldn't last too long.

I'm working on a neoprene solution. Will be much harder wearing, work better and look a lot better.

Right, they're finished (apart from the glue drying) and should work a treat 🙂
kinda hoping it's wet for my thursday night ride!

Endura tights with the waterproof shin panels, pulled down over the outside of the neoprene cuff of shimano boots.

haven't leaked yet and they don't make me look like a gimp.

I made my own last night. 6 inch tubes of neoprene, they hardly show under leggings but completely seal the gaps round my skinny ankles.

Are you not just thinking of cycling overshoes?
