{"product_id":"spatzwear-windsock-pro","title":"Spatzwear Windsock Pro","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Spatzwear launched the Windsock2 some years ago, we created a brand new niche. Since then, the Windsock2 has been worn to victory in Tour de France stages as well as many of the Classics races (including the Tour of Flanders, Paris Roubaix and Milan San Remo), not forgetting the UCI World Gravel Championships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 2026, we have developed an oversock that pushes the boundaries even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Windsock PRO shares many of the fabrics and features of our legendary Windsock2 but adds a new internal gripper which has been in development for 2 years. The new vertical grippers offer a secure grip on the leg without any extra compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTesting at the SSE Hub wind tunnel (George Fox Cycling Solutions) indicated that the Windsock PRO is more aerodynamic than any other similar product we tested. Here are our findings from the tunnel:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eCdA Run Average Difference vs Wind Socks: -0.0002\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDelivers improved aerodynamic performance over Wind Socks.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCdA reductions are slightly greater across most yaw and speed angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDifferences range from:  0 to -0.0005 in most yaw-speed combinations.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummary:  Wind Sock Pro is the most aerodynamically efficient of the three models, delivering consistent and deeper CdA reductions than the baseline Wind Socks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion when using Wind Socks as the baseline: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWind Sock Pro is the top performer, offering the best aerodynamic advantage. All three models perform well, with Wind Sock Pro leading by a small but consistent margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"These results suggest that the Windsock PRO is the optimal choice for riders seeking the best aerodynamic performance in varying wind conditions without wanting or needing a full overshoe\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are the oversocks worn by Mathieu van der Poel in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in 2026. At the time of this event, we sent one pair of Windsock PRO to Alpecin-Premier Tech for evaluation by the riders. The results speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped for when you need immunity from the wind or protection from the elements when speed is paramount. The new Windsock PRO has a waterproof, stretchy, sleek fitting main panel with a super aerodynamic lycra leg section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSpecification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone-Slip-Grip Brand new vertical grippers run up the leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace Proven Performance Worn to win by Alpecin-Premier Tech and MVDP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered for Speed Aero fabrics shaped to move without creasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnmatched Fit Twin silicone leg grippers and internal heel grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for Battle Kevlar toe and velcro closure for race durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean Aesthetic Subtle reflective logo and flat foot stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x radial leg grippers plus 4 x vertical grippers to ensure a non-slip grip. We have added a very sticky silicone tape to the hem, in addition to a woven-in silicone gripper.
