At Gobik, we seek to create products that not only suit your needs, but also allow you to make sure that extreme conditions don't ruin your rides. The boot covers AVERT are a clear example of this philosophy, designed to protect your feet from the cold, wind and rain on gravel or mountain bike rides. With functional details and highly resistant materials, these shoe covers are ready to face any winter challenge.

The shoe covers for extreme conditions

The AVERT are specially designed to combat very low temperatures, with an optimal range of use from -5 to 10 ºC. Constructed in 3 mm reinforced neoprene, they offer an effective thermal barrier against cold and water. In addition, their design includes reinforcements in key areas to ensure durability and allow for easy walking on technical terrain. Designed for mountain bike or gravel shoes, they are your "salvation" for the harshest winter months.

Protection without compromising efficiency

The big handicap of winter garments is often the "discomfort" that the different types of fabrics can generate to your efficiency during the routes. Molded reinforcements and details such as the Kevlar-finished openings offer durability and resistance to face the most demanding terrain without affecting your pedaling. Plus, the heat-sealed, reflective side zipper adds functionality and safety in low visibility conditions.

Details that make a difference

  • Full winter protection: Ideal for temperatures between -5 and 10°C, these shoe covers keep your feet warm and dry in extreme cold, wind and rain.
  • Highly resistant materials: 3 mm reinforced neoprene and vulcanized rubber reinforcements on toe cap, sides and sole ensure long life, even on technical terrain.
  • Comfort and functionality: Velcro closure integrated into the sole and heat-sealed side zipper make it easy to put on, while the PVC-reinforced heel provides stability.
  • Practical and secure design: Kevlar thread-finished sole openings add durability, and the extended shank height ensures extra coverage. In addition, reflective details enhance visibility on low-light trails.

Tested in the toughest conditions

The AVERT have been put to the test on gravel and mountain bike trails in extreme cold and technical terrain. Their ability to keep feet warm, dry and protected even in heavy rain or extreme cold makes them an ideal choice for cyclists looking for reliable winter gear. On the other hand, their abrasion resistance and ease of use make them perfect for terrain where walking is part of the journey without worrying that they might break.
