The reflective coating on the Giro Empires are ultra fragile too. Mine are properly fucked after about 6 months use.
don't say that I just bought a pair..
when are you going to wear them? I wouldnt mind some reflective slippers but for me I would want them for when its dark, like all of winter.
Wouldn't be that bad if there was a greyish base under the coating and not black. Giro would make a fortune if they sold touch up markers for these.
As for wearing in fall/winter, I find them a bit too cold for comfort, but nothing oversocks can't fix.
