The value of a great wet weather bootie can not be understated for cyclists who live in regions where rain is a regular event. There is no reason why one can't ride in the rain if prepared and committed to safety with smart routes and bike control. For rainy areas during cooler times of the year, such as the spring and fall, the Fiandre Bootie from Sportful is essential gear that might be employed several days a week. Featuring GoreTex INFINIUM™ fabric, the Fiandre Bootie will stop water, deter wind, and deliver great fit at a light weight. Ankle fit is crucial for a high performance cycling bootie, as material that is too tight can be restricting, while too loose and it can rub against the crankarm and catch plenty of wind. The engineered stretch of INFINIUM is ideal for the application.

Sportful delivers all the details beyond fit and protection, such as the use of YKK zippers on the outside of the ankles for easy on-off. The zipper seals out water and has protective flap at the top the ankle so it won't interact with a light or midweight tight. The heel and toe zones have reinforced durable protection for walking, with both cleat and heel tap openings to ensure to allow the grip you normally have from your cycling shoes. The stitching features heavier grade thread, and the openings on the bottom of the shoe have a finished edge for greater durability. The Fiandre Bootie also carries reflective tabs and logos deliver some dynamic 360° reflective capability during the pedal stroke, giving drivers an obvious movement to pick-up in low-light conditions.
