These are the oversocks worn by Mathieu van der Poel and the entire Alpecin-Deceuninck team. In 2024, they have been ridden to victory many times, including the Tour of Flanders.
Designed specifically for (and developed by) a 2x Olympic Champion and in partnership with Alpecin Deceuninck Pro Cycling Team.
The brand new "Windsock2" aero oversocks are designed absolutely from scratch and are a complete redesign of the now outdated (but much loved) original Spatz Windsocks.
Developed for when you need immunity from the wind or protection from the elements when speed is key. The new Windsock2 has a waterproof, stretchy, sleek fitting main panel with a super aerodynamic lycra leg section.
New features include:
2x leg 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. We do not know of another manufacturer who has gone to these levels to ensure a good fit on the legs.
Striated, aero fabric is cut and tuned to follow the contours of the ankle joint and articulate beautifully without wrinkling / creasing on the pedal stroke.
Cut tall to meet UCI length regulations.
A very tough velcro fastener tucks neatly behind the cleat/pedal interface to allow easy wearing, tuning of fit and a very aerodynamic silhouette.
We have added a Kevlar toe area to avoid nicks and tears to the fabric. This is another first in Aero Overshoe design.
Silicone grippers have been placed inside the heel area to lock the booties solid against your shoes. They will not "ride up" your heels during a race situation.
A subtle logo in mid grey keeps things classy.
We do not know of another aero / TT oversock which fits so well, stays in position so well and actually stands up to the rigours of racing as the new Windsock2.
Seams are positioned strategically right where you need them. Designed to make the most of the wind and ensure race-long comfort.
Flat stitching around the foot to lay seamlessly against your shoe. A genuinely beautiful design which is a pleasure to wear and use.

Great looking overshoe so an extra star! I just did the UCI Turkey GranFondo. Used these for the 20km TT, perfect. Easy to get on/off. However I did get two small holes from my SIDI shoes in the lycra material around the back of the ankle. Given it was their first use, I would suggest that material is not that strong - take care!! I then used them for the 100km road race in miserable conditions and unfortunately these slipped down. Both legs. They do have some grippy inner but not sufficient to hold them up in the rigours of a race. Or maybe my skinny legs. Disappointed to say the least, expected better.

Quality socks and fit like a glove
Today a dry fit, checking the quality and most important, the easy fit. No extreme stretching to put them on, I never had sock that fit so easy, and the quality of the sock, I’m impressed for sure. I hope a.s.a.p to test them on a bike trip. I think an extra pair will be in progress.

great but fragile heel
Gutted that I tore a hole at the heel from first use. Could have benefitted from the same kevlar material as used in the toe. Also, I recieved two left pairs? Otherwise they are brilliant. Don't care much about the aero gains but the spray and muck protection they offer is just what I need. Looks stealthy in black too.
Hi Troels,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’ve experienced, and I really appreciate your feedback. We intentionally avoided using Kevlar in the Windsocks to ensure they fit snugly and maintain an aerodynamic profile against the leg and shoes.
If you could kindly email me at info@spatzwear.com with a few photos of the issue, I’ll be happy to arrange a replacement pair for you. We very rarely receive complaints about the Windsocks, so I’m confident we can resolve this and prevent it happening again in the future.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
Many thanks,
Ted
