I wanted something to protect my new bike when it is in or on the car. The velo sock bike cover is perfect for the job. Delivered quickly and on time. Great product.
I was looking for a bike cover for a rear bike rack that is suitable for rainy and sunny days. So basically a cover that I can use all year round. Unfortunately, the search was very time-consuming. But it was worth it. I found this website and am totally thrilled. I was able to create my own cover and have it applied. So far so good. Great idea, but what will it look like in the end? For a ‘I'll just give it a try’, the rather high price compared to other covers is a big risk. Yes, there were great photos etc. to influence my decision, but everyone knows about photo editing programmes etc. Nevertheless, I was somehow convinced by the options on offer and ultimately took the risk. Apart from the initial delivery problems, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. It really turned out absolutely great. The photo I submitted with the minimal pixel specifications was applied to the material perfectly in line with my ideas. I opted for the waterproof cover. This is also absolutely perfect for my purposes. I work in the field and am therefore on the road every day. I always have my bike with me. So it's constantly exposed to sun and rain.
Well, it is actually completely protected against external impacts. Nothing got wet, no condensation. Packing is also a good solution thanks to the many zips and the stretchable material. However, it does require a little practice. Conclusion: Absolutely TOP, 5 out of 5 stars.
The cover I got started to tear apart from the first use especially in the area of the bike pedals. Too expensive for the quality I got.
The velosock was delivered quickly, appears to be of high qualität and ford my bike well.
The pedal covers also fit perfectly. You should take a little time putting it on for the first time but if you have done it once it works pretty fast.
What is a shame, however, is the fact that i ordered the velosock in „Mystic Forest“ but „Motion Wave“ was delivered!
But since i needed the velosock and couldn‘t want for an exchange, i decided not to complain.
Very unfortunate!!!
Wir nutzen es aktuell beim Transport im Camper. Alles bleibt sauber und die Carbonräder sind geschützt. So soll das sein.
I was concerned about the fit of this cover on a 52cm frame but it is fine. I ordered the carbon black which, unfortunately is nothing like the image on the website and is really disappointing
After several weeks of uncertainty and several emails we eventually purchased 2 covers for our enduro style mountain bikes to protect them from the grime and spray of the road when they are on our towbar mounted rack (after experience of salt related damage - don't ask!).
Initial attempt to put the cover on was an exercise in frustration, with our knobbly tyres it is not as simple as the video makes out. You need 4 hands for a mountain bike or lots of patience ;-) Now we have a good system the covers slide on easily and fit brilliantly, they even fit across my wife's 820mm wide handlebars without a problem. Early concerns about pedals proved to be less of an issue as everything just stretches nicely and the pedal socks (included, nice touch) protect the cover from any sharp points on flat pedals. A little tricky to get onto the rack at first, especially getting the wheel straps through and tight but again a little practice and adjustment of zips made that easier.
And they did exactly what we wanted. The water resistance is good and the covers stopped all the road grime getting onto brake pads and discs especially. Plus they covered our bikes completely, looked great and even got several comments from the MTB community and general public.
I bought these stylish bike socks to protect my new bike. During the first transport, the retaining clamp of the rear carrier (Thule) came loose, probably due to the shaking back and forth as the wind travels in the bike sock and on the holder. The stupid thing is that you didn't notice it through the bike socks because they are opaque. The bike was only prevented from folding down from the carrier by the bike mounted behind it. My new bike (carbon) suffered damage in the top tube and the rear derailleur. During the second transport, only one bike was mounted on the rear rack. I made sure that everything was assembled and fastened well and correctly. But still, the bike came loose at around 100 km/h and folded backwards from the wheel carrier. Not a nice experience in the middle of the expressway. Had to drive onto the hard shoulder and took off the damn sock. Luckily nothing happened to the bike the second time. The product is a bad design, you think that you can protect your little one better, but exactly the opposite is the case. I can only advise against this product! Do not buy!

I used my new Velosock cover driving in France last week, through very heavy rain. It kept alot of dirt off my Giant road bike, very pleased! The whole process of design, order and receiving was easy. Also impressed by the clarity of the image printed considering that the photo was taken on a basic iPhone. I had a couple of questions and Velosock support answered very quickly. Thank you!
This is a great way to protect my bike for transport and when not in use. The product has very good quality and looks exactly as it looks
"Cool. Can I get one, too?" That was the first reaction I received when I showed the first crude picture of our club design. It is super easy to have your own design realized. Especially when you have such a great icon for your club as we have. ;)
Back to nuts and bolts: Easy editor to upload the idea. Feedback question from the designer, asking for the original graphic to improve the design, and a few days later, the new velosock was at my home. We will get some more to have many of our bikes equipped. Look for them at the tracks. You want one? DM on instagram and I will see what I can do...
Super service, great quality and looks the part.
Simple to wrap the bike, keeping wheels / crank and pedals safe.
Got my velosock. It’s good and looks excellent in my country colour. Only little detail would be something to close the opening a bit. Mine gapes too much so I’m using two small pegs to hold it all snug.
The elasticated bike cover is easy to use, fits a range of bikes well and is an effective protection from dirt and oil for my camper van... all good.
Had been very happy with the Velosock previously purchased and decided to go for more protection for my bike. However, the rack full cover disappointed… the zip pull broke first use, bag would not easily fit my size small framed gravel bike and I was forced to tear the zipper apart to get my bike out. However, I have received full refund from the company, so “chapeau” for that.
I use the velosock to protect my bike and my car. It works good. Although it is a great opportunity to take the bike in hotel rooms.
Order process, shipping etc as per industry std.
The build quality is premium and I can recommend.
Great product does exactly what it should very well. My only problem is I can never make putting it on my bike look as easy as the video🤣
La housse s’enfile comme un gant, la matière paraît solide légèrement extensible, belle décoration, je cherchais depuis longtemps une protection pour le transport de mes vélos, certes c’est un investissement surtout en waterproof, on verra à l’usage mais je suis confiant.
this sock was a gift ...the receiver was very pleased with the quality of the material.. deep black color was wat he liked a lot for this protection material
I’ve not used it yet. Got it for when I go on holiday. First thought it’s good quality
