Nice.  And convenient.  Need to order a pair and see how it works with
the small.

BTW, what did you use to wrap the Nitto saddlebag grip?  Appears
worthy of imitation.

Yup, dig it.

What do you think of the Splats anyway?

I'm planning to order a pair to try them out. Function trumps Form -
when it's nasty.

The grip cover is part of an elkhide "city grip" from VO. Didn't need the whole 
length of one grip. I kept thinking it would come off. But after about a couple 
years of daily beausage it has not. That waxed thread is tough stuff.

I love 'em. I used them once last week and again today. Today's use was an 
utterly continuous one hour light-to-moderate rain. Result: dry shoes with only 
slightly trickly damp ankles. That's the gold standard for me.

In general they are a great compromise between protection and convenience. 
There may be somewhat superior solutions for people who have skinny shoes. In 
particular, for me, they're pert nigh perfection. They actually completely 
cover my 11.5 Keens! There's enough airflow under them that my feet don't get 
extra damp. And I can put the Splats on just by bending at the waist and 
lifting each foot (consecutively, not concurrently!). No need to find dry land 
to sit on. As the photos show, I can carry them easily. And after tonight's 
ride home I know they work in a good solid hour of rain.

Basically, I had a Splats-shaped void in my commuting life. So I'm very happy 
with them.

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean
