Tall veloToze Shoe Covers will be the review product of this article. I tried to find good cycling overshoes for rainy conditions, that have a good fit against the calf muscles of the lower leg. Especially when you have long thin calf muscles it can be difficult to find good overshoes.
The Assos rainBootie_S7 shoe covers were beaten by the tall veloToze ones for a fraction of the price.

pOcpac Neck Tube is a multi functional neck scarf that can be used in 10 different ways. The functionality is comparable to the well known Buff products. In other words it is a solid Buff alternative for a good price.
The pOcpac Neck Tube has a cool unique design from John McFaul and was limited available. I have been using the neck tube both on and off the bike, and I will briefly share my experiences.
