Radioshack Leopard Trek Gloves 2013 by Ian Mitchell from United Kingdom on 05/20/2013![]() Really pleased with these gloves, great looking and really comfy and secure on the bike. However, some of the 'wonder web' type material used to secure the folded edges has, a,most immediately come adrift. Hence the 4 stars. Doesn't seem to affect their function and I'm still happy to have bought them.
Bern Brentwood Bomber Graphics Helmet by smashing from United Kingdom on 05/19/2013![]() I really love this helmet. It fits well, feels like a good strong design, covers the back of my head properly and seems like it will protect you in a collision.
My head measures about 61/62cm and the XL fits well. Perhaps could be a tiny, tiny bit bigger - but you can adjust the headband a little and that helps.
One thing to note, the visor on this does NOT flip up. I think some newer models from Bern do, but this one does not. You can always remove the liner and wear an old school cycling hat inside it and that will flip up nicely.
DZR Jetlag Pigeon Shoe by dario della morte from Italy on 05/19/2013![]() Recently j bought a DZR DICE SHOE (perfect for a bike). J think that the DZR Jetlag Pigeon Shoe, and so all the shoes without the shoelaces, are not comfortable:
the straps is not enough to tihten the shoe to the foot, the shoe is too large and hurts the heel. The same review is for the DZR Concubine shoe.
Vulpine Merino V-Neck T-Shirt by Alessandro from Italy on 05/19/2013![]() This is a very nice jersey to enjoy urban riding, especially in the late afternoon when temperature drops a bit, and wool will protect you from freezing after some sweat. The rear pocket is useful but a zip would have been better than the single button. Following the sizing table I ordered a medium but it was way too long (I'm 173 cm), so I returned it and the small is just perfect. I recommend it.
Vulpine Cotton Visibility Gilet by Alessandro from Italy on 05/19/2013![]() This gilet is made of cotton and has a good visibility. I have found it useful as a protection in windy/chill days. Pockets are placed right, and the rear red tail gives an extra protection/visibility. Recommended for your urban rides and commuting. I'm 173 and found the small size just right, so I'd suggest to go one size smaller than the one indicated by the sizing table.
Castelli Free Aero Race Bib Short by Joe from United Kingdom on 05/17/2013![]() Only had these shorts a few days but they are the best shorts I have owned. First the size - usually gone for a M Castelli as a 32, but went for a small this time and just right. Nicely fitted feel bit like a training compression short. When on the road a perfect fit with all round contact and support. Chamois also really effective to the point you don't notice it. Highly recommend these ones not to mention Always Ridings usual great service
Etxeondo Bira Bib Short by Kristof D'Haeseleer from Belgium on 05/17/2013![]() I wanted another set of bib shorts for mid week rides so I looked at this “budget” offering from the Basque brand. The chamois is of a thicker variety than what I have in my pricier Etxeondo 3/4s and tights but that doesn’t mean it’s of lesser quality! In fact, these bibs are so comfortable I’ve also been wearing them on longer rides. In my experience Etxeondo sizes a bit small (but not too much) so I took a size L (I’m 185cm / 75kg). The leg is a bit longer than what I’m used to but that’s also why I’ve gotten more mileage out of these than intended : in colder and wet conditions, like we're having this spring, they keep me very comfortable.
