Gore Bike Wear Oxygen GT AS Jacket
At the Gore-Tex Active Shell launch last year, we were given a prototype jacket to test – and were very impressed. So seeing this breathable waterproof laminate on the market in garments like the Oxygen is exciting indeed. Gore Bike Wear consistently produces superior products from its sister company’s laminates, and this is no exception. […]
FuelBelt Revenge R20
Over the last four years, FuelBelt has done a great job of aligning its products with some of the world’s best Ironman triathletes, including Chris McCormack and Chrissie Wellington. The Revenge R20 is a variation on its classic model, and has the capacity to carry two 7oz (just over 200ml) sports cap bottles, and also […]
Supernova Airstream
Cooled using 20 airflow regulating fins on the body, this light is another piece of German precision engineering. The Airstream’s push button takes you through the four beam intensities in order, ranging from the maximum – using its entire 370 Lumen potential – to an adequate urban light that burns for up to 24hrs. Beam […]
Maru Training Fins
There’s little triathletes detest more than kicking drills in the swimming pool; legs that are heavy from cycling or tired from running are certainly not automatically conditioned for front-crawl kick. However, training fins like these ones from Maru can come to the rescue by helping to develop your ankle flexibility and build strength in the […]
Rolf Prima Carbon Disc
This flat, carbon, tubular tyre disc comes with a titanium hub body and SRAM, Shimano or Campag options. It weighs in at 930g, accelerates quickly and, in the acid test, doesn’t feel draggy uphill. There’s an increasing tendency to design discs with certain frames in mind, so the disc deals optimally with the way air […]
Giro Aeon
Launched this year at the Tour of Flanders, and now with a host of new colour schemes, the Giro Aeon is an incredibly light helmet. At 190g for a small and 222g for a medium, it almost feels flimsy but, in reality, it’s as rugged as Flanders itself and is fully CE certified. Weight has […]
Nike Pro Combat Hyperwarm Shield Mock
Nike need little introduction, and you can rest assured that a lot of time and research has gone into creating this compression base layer. The top fits closely to the size advertised and features flatlock stitching on the seams, which are positioned away from areas liable to chafe. The fabric is capable of four-way stretch […]

Brooks PureConnect
Brooks is a latecomer to the minimalist barefoot run brigade. However, its new PureProject range proves it hasn’t been sitting around idly. This set of lightweight and high-feel shoes aims to inspire a more natural run gait. Dip into the PureConnect and, we hate to say it, the moulded fit really does make you feel […]
Endurance Junkie Hot Ice Sportwool Tri-Suit
Endurance Junkie’s Hot Ice model features a completely white back panel to reflect heat. The shorts are a compressive Lycra-based fabric and the top is Merino-based Sportwool, which is comfy and quick drying. Covering your body in the heat may seem counterintuitive, but will make sense if you’ve ever been burnt riding the Queen K. […]
For Goodness Shakes Nectar Fuel
Don’t let the motor-oil aesthetics of the packaging put you off here because what’s kept inside is, as we’ve come to expect from For Goodness Shakes, good stuff. Both the lemon and lime, and orange, flavours are subtle and easy on the palette, with no nasty aftertaste. It provides hypotonic (lower carb concentration than your […]
Xplova G3 GPS
The Xplova G3 aims to deliver GPS performance monitoring, route planning and navigation at a bargain price – £200 less than Garmin’s Edge 800 and £55 under its 705. Compared to the 705 – its head-on rival – the G3 is only 9g heavier, has near-identical dimensions and the same size colour screen. Although low […]

Stella Light and Motion Dual
A two-lamp set-up (with one a dedicated spot and the other a wide-ranging flood) that allows infinite tweakability. This means you’re guaranteed to get the perfect beam balance for what you’re doing. Its full power, giving 2.5hrs of burn, is enough for off-road riding and full-paced road training, but not being able to helmet mount […]
