The Early Days
In the winter of 2006 he put pen to paper and developed early prototypes, but the right materials were not available yet. The project was shelved until Tom retired from cycling competitively.
Fast Forward
Fast forward to the winter of 2016, Tom met a famous triathlete in Ilkley, Yorkshire for a standard Wednesday bike ride. It was freezing cold and the roads were flooded. But they need to ride for 4 hours. They needed to train.
Between the two of them, they developed an overshoe system which will allow you to train longer and further than your competitors in cold wet conditions. Spatz will shield your lower legs and feet from the elements like no other product.
