Spatz wear epitomizes the clothing we NEED for winter riding. Born in the Yorkshire elements from an experienced road racer and team manager, Tom Barras, Spatz covers nearly every single eventuality with its range of overshoes, base layers, gloves and jerseys.
Designed from the foot up for use in the worst of conditions in the UK Spatz has developed a range of clothing that enables you to keep going in the wet and windy conditions regardless of how bad things get. The whole idea was to lengthen the ride on those horrible days by protecting the most vulnerable parts of the body from the conditions and getting your training done.
Developed by road racers and triathletes for athletes to continue the ride and continue to push the boundaries on the road Spatz is a brand we resonate with because they understand the demands of training and racing and how to get the most out of yourself even when the weather plays against you!
At VeloElite we pride ourselves on being cyclists active in riding and racing so continue to keep our fingers firmly on the pulse of what is working and what isn’t when it comes to clothing and equipment. We’re continually developing our own products to suit the needs of riders in all disciplines but also keeping an eye on what we’re using from other brands, and that is where our link with Spatz came in. Wet and cold feet led to needing better clothing through the winter so we went on the hunt for what was the best on the market, and we genuinely feel like we’ve found it!
The revolutionary full calf length overshoe from Spatz is what has kept us riding for longer and more comfortable in rubbish conditions, and that’s where we recommend you start your Spatz journey for this winter!
