Can anyone recommend LIGHT boot covers to cover my new Salomon RS
Carbon boots to protect them while learning to roller ski? Several
roller ski buddies told me that the first few weeks on roller skis
could destroy my boots and recommended I cover them. Since I'll be
learning in warmer May/June weather, can anyone recommend a boot cover
that is not particularly warm or windproof so it won't be stifling in
spring NE weather.
A neighbor and member of our rec.skiing.nordic, recommended these
bicycle shoe covers below. Not bad, except that they are dark and are
still designed for warmth and wind resistance. Hoped someone may have
seen something else that would work that's even lighter (and perhaps
light colored so as not to absorb sunlight). Even plain cloth would
work. Heck, I may even ask my local seamstress to sew light white
cotton covers (who cares how dirty they get).
