Product Information
Full details
The Spatzwear Windsock Pro is a high-performance aerodynamic oversock designed for professional cyclists and competitive racers looking to shave valuable seconds off their time. Building on the race-proven success of the original Windsock2, this updated version features advanced fabrics and a newly engineered internal gripper system for a secure, non-compressive fit. While it offers industry-leading aerodynamic benefits confirmed by wind tunnel testing, users should note that its specialized design is optimized for elite performance rather than casual everyday commuting.

FAQs
Can I use these for daily training rides?
While durable enough for training, they are optimized for racing and aerodynamic performance; daily use may shorten the lifespan of the technical fabrics.
Does the gripper feel too tight?
No, the new vertical gripper system is designed to provide secure hold specifically without the compression usually required for grip.
Are these wind socks UCI legal?
Spatzwear products are designed to meet current professional racing standards, but always check specific event regulations for equipment restrictions.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size chart based on your shoe size and calf measurement to ensure the aerodynamic fit is not compromised by baggy fabric.
Will they tear easily?
They are made of technical performance fabric. Use care when pulling them on over cleat hardware to prevent snagging.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping down during a ride
Ensure the skin is free of oils, lotions, or embrocations before application to allow the vertical grippers to make full contact.
Difficulty pulling the sock over the shoe
Ensure you are using the correct size and pull the fabric evenly from the base to avoid excessive stretching or stress on the seams.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Proven wind tunnel performance for improved aerodynamics
- New vertical gripper system prevents slippage without tight compression
- Battle-tested in World Tour races and Classics
- Ultra-lightweight fabric design
Cons
- Designed primarily for elite racing rather than durability for daily use
- Specific fit requires precise sizing for aerodynamic benefits
- Higher investment compared to standard fabric oversocks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the Windsock Pro is placed directly against the skin or over high-performance base layers. When putting them on, roll the socks down, slide the foot through the cleat opening, and then carefully pull the upper section up the calf. For care, hand wash in cold water using a mild, technical detergent to preserve the integrity of the elastic grippers and the aerodynamic fabric weave. Avoid tumble drying or using bleach, as heat and harsh chemicals can degrade the specialized synthetic materials.
