In transit, the lack of excess material means the Velosock cover is not flapping about in the wind unlike most conventional covers is a bonus, and the fact that the Velosock is very stylish is an added plus.

If you are tired of bicycle covers being generically shaped, flapping around in the breeze like a flag, and not truly keeping road and dust from under your bike, then this is absolutely the bike cover for you. Buy it, it’s worth every bit the price.!!

Velosock has a sleek design and easy to use

Velosock has a sleek design and easy to use.
Because we travel long distances, in hindsight, I wish we would have purchased the waterproof version instead of water resistant. We drove through a couple of rainstorms and while the bikes were fairly clean our bikes and seats were wet. On the same note, the grit and debris were mostly kept off which was awesome (except for the part where the bike rack strap goes through the zipper part at the bottom of the wheel).
I would recommend, and even pay more, to have a slit for the bike rack strap to go through to keep a tighter closer.

Very Good

I thought it was just another bike I was wrong this is the only bike cover you need fits an EMTB well looks good and protects your bike would certainly recommend

The fabric is too thin

The concept is good. The zippers are high-quality and wee-made, but the fabric is too thin. After just the first holiday trip, several holes were torn in the fabric by the kickstand, gears and hubs. That shouldn‘t happen.

It's excellent, good fit, great quality.

It's excellent, good fit, great quality. The info said it wouldn't fit over bar ends or large mudguards, but it did, perfectly - maybe helped by a small frame. The mudguard would go inside the cover, but might alter the shape especially if warm, but the zip lets it poke out a little. Might need securing but feels just fine. Super kit, thank you!

Excellent product - was initially put off by the price

Excellent product - was initially put off by the price but very please I bought it. Easy to fit and am using it to protect both bike and my boat where I am currently using it. Makes handling it in a confined space much easier and withouth scratches! No doubt will be equally useful on my car's bike rack

Excellent design and functionality.

Excellently designed to adapt perfectly to both carbon bikes and to the towbar bike rack.
Tested on a long route, with thunderstorms, they perfectly protected the bikes.

Lower zipper too short

Overall satisfied with the cover but do find it a bit complicated to get access to the wheel locking devices back and front. It would have helped a lot if the lower zipper had been longer so you wouldn’t have to stretch the cover so much
On a 29 ‘ E-MTB with a very long wheelbase it’s really hard to get access to the wheel locking devices and close the zipper. The lower zipper should at least have been 15 cm longer in both ends

Very good cover, tested with diffrerent

Very good cover. Tested in various conditions in northern Norway and Lapland, and overall it performed really well. Some dust and water still came through around the tyre zippers, but getting those completely sealed while keeping them practical might be difficult.

Great for the boat

I needed something to keep the salt spray of my bikes when transporting on the boat. The bikes were roof mounted and I didn't't know how well they would hold up with wind, etc... This is not going as fast as a car would so I took the gamble it would work and it was perfect. It's like a wet suit for a bike. Nice thick material. These are so well made and worth every penny.

Mystic Forrest covers/Sprinter/One up racks mounted vertically

I have a road bike and my e Mtn bike in vertical one up bike racks on my sprinter. These velo sock covers are exactly what I was looking for!
My bikes are protected from the elements and out of direct view.
I’m currently working my way down the CA coast. Camping and riding. So glad my bikes are covered when not in use.
I’m using a cable lock doubled which fits easily thru the zippered access in the triangle.
With the socks on the bikes are more manageable when putting them on the rack or taking them off.
It takes only a moment to remove the covers.
More like 5 min to put the cover on. It is easier with 2 people but one can manage no problem.
Super functional and great looking on the back of my van!!

Resultado genial

Me costó colocarla por primera vez, pero la segunda fue más fácil, y la bici llegó en los dos viajes de 1000km cada uno como nueva

Perfect protection in challenging weather conditions

I ordered the waterproof version. The first version I received did not fit my bike (the cover was supposed to fit saddle heights of up to 113 cm, but I couldn’t even fasten it around the saddle at 105 cm).

After I explained the issue and provided photos, a custom-made version was produced for me. This one fits perfectly.

Apart from that, the cover seems very sturdy and well-made. It has already passed its first test in the rain with flying colors. My road bike is now well protected on the bike rack of my camper van.

God but weak

I like the idea! Fits peerfekt and it is easy to put it on the bike. And it’s easy ro put the bike on the rack. But after 500km there is allready a hole wher the wheelaxle touches the Velosock. Could be stronger meterial there….

Vyzkoušel jsem už spoustu neforemně veobalů na

Vyzkoušel jsem už spoustu neforemně velkých obalů na kolo s cenovkou kolem 4000,takže počáteční ostych při ceně 9200 korun byl velký.
Za pár dní po objednání zboží přišlo a hned jsme ho vyzkoušeli na cestě do Italie. První oblékání bylo horší, další už celkem v pohodě i když bych spodní zapínání kolem pásku u kol protože to je celkem opruz ale dá se zvládnout i když to děláte na stěně na Obytce .
Takže za mě vřele doporučuji. Navíc jsou kola chráněna před zraky nenechavců

Brought cover to protect from the rain, no rain

I purchase the cover, as I travel regularly from Spain to the UK, a distance of 1900km each way. The cover fits well, and has protected the bike from the dust and general grime that it collected in the past, I’m not sure about how waterproof it is as it didn’t rain, (as my partner said typical).
The good.
Its easy to secure to the carrier and it does look good
Not so good.
By the halfway point of the trip, I noticed some marks in the material, like little pulls.
What could be improved
I have 40mm handlebar, with SRAM shifters, the material was very tight, and appeared to be stretching against them, I started with the rear derailleur in the small cog, but again it appears to be stretching the material, shifted to the large cog did remove some of the stretch, it might be worth trying to put a patch in that area to help remove the stretch.
Would I recommend.
Yes I would recommend this product, it is a very well manufactured and appears to be made of premium materials, more than happy with it, looking forward to many more trips using it.

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about our bike covers. For everything else, message our support team.

  • Standard — lightweight stretchy fabric. Protects from dust and dry dirt. Best for indoor storage and dry-weather transport.
  • Water-Repellent (most popular for transport) — handles light rain, road spray, and salt. Breathable and quick-drying.
  • Waterproof (top-tier) — 3-layer fully waterproof fabric with army-grade waterproof zippers. Designed to provide the highest level of protection against rain, snow, dust and other elements during storage and transport.

Most bikes fit our covers, but the right model depends on your handlebar type:

  • Drop bars (road, gravel) → Road cover
  • Flat bars (MTB, hybrid, e-MTB) → MTB / E-Bike cover
  • Aero bars (TT, triathlon) → Triathlon cover

Our covers stretch to accommodate frames up to 2.05 m in overall length (1.90 m for road covers). For unusual sizes or non-standard frames, please contact us at support@velosock.com.

Velosock products are designed to be used as bicycle covers. They feature multiple zippers that provide flexibility for bikes mounted on rear bike racks.

Suitability and safe use during transport always depend on factors outside our control — including the vehicle, the rack, the bicycle, the installation, the load and the driving conditions. Use during transport must therefore be assessed and carried out by the user in accordance with the instructions and restrictions of the relevant vehicle and rack manufacturer, and in compliance with applicable road-use rules.

For questions about the suitability or permitted use of a specific rack or rack configuration, please refer to the rack manufacturer.

Velosock products are bicycle covers. We do not specify or recommend a maximum driving speed.

Vehicle speed during transport must always be determined by the user, taking into account the vehicle, the rack, the bicycle, the installation, the load, weather and wind conditions, and applicable road-use rules. Always observe the manufacturer instructions of your vehicle and bike rack, as well as posted speed limits.

The Water-Repellent fabric is designed to resist light rain and road spray. The Waterproof fabric is designed to provide a higher level of resistance to water in more demanding conditions.

Real-world performance depends on the cover model, the duration and intensity of rain, the bicycle, and the transport setup.
