One cuts the top of the seal down until it is still tight but doesn't cut off circulation.
Water still runs down your leg but doesn't get in your shoes. My policy is that I don't do rain rides at below 40°. That prevents the worst of the scarring. Gloves are the most difficult issue. Either Giro 100 Proof or thick ragg wool with maybe leather over.
I embrace the water on my hands and wear neoprene gloves in the hard rain. They are wet from sweat on the inside and stay warm because of the neoprene and more wet isn’t noticed.
Thanks a lot for the tip. I will try it for sure. I’ve tried many things. Velotoze work, but are pain getting on and rip easy. Your method sounds promising.
