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. […]

Lumicycle LED 3SI

The Lumicycle light is not as bling as its pricier test-mates but its performance is easily on a par with them. Full beam isn’t far off the Sigma and it has a perfect blend of spot and flood. From the reasonably compact and frame- friendly fabric-clad power pack, you get 3hrs of burn at full […]

Electron Terra 2

This twin light package, primarily because of its individual controls, gives an amazingly versatile set-up. One can be aimed just ahead of your front wheel to take advantage of the flood and pick up potholes, while the other can be fired into the distance. With both blazing full, you still get 5hrs of burn time […]

Cannondale Windfront

Typically for Cannondale, these gloves aren’t cheap, but the extra money isn’t wasted. The water and windproof fabric shrugs off serious showers and properly arctic, frosty morning descents before cold or wet creeps through. There’s very little sweat build-up and the long cuffs give a good wrist sealing. There’s useful reflectivity on your little finger, […]

Saucony ProGrid Guide

The strength of the Saucony Guide is that it suits a wide spectrum of runners. The cushioning rides well for runners of a wide range of weights, the transition from heel to forefoot is fine and it has no problems coping with forefoot strike. The fit is true, with an upper that holds your foot […]

Aqua Sphere Kayenne

The brains behind some of the most innovative and award-winning goggles on the market have recently launched the Kayenne: a goggle with a low-drag frame that offers four-way vision (up and down as well as 180° to the sides). The extra visibility is a great bonus for open-water swimming, where you’ll want to be able […]
