Winter is not over and done with yet, this week the cool stuff contains a toasty hoodie from Broken Riders, a new mudguard from Rapid Racer Products and a retro gravel bike from Marin Bikes. 

We sighted some fresh Snowdrops this week, this fact, plus the appearance of the first bit of summer mountain bike kit for test must mean spring is just around the corner! Aside from the arm-baring number from Morvelo we've also got a cool looking pump from Crankbrothers, some skinny tyres from Schwalbe and two lids from Kali and Bell.

The Scott Trail 20 jersey is a long sleeved women’s number for temperate conditions. It’s light and soft with clean lines and some funky colourways to brighten up your riding wardrobe.

The Inferna’s are a new winter glove for women from Giro. With a windproof backing and thin, grippy suede palm they suit cooler days whilst the stiff finger construction means they are better suited to longer and less technical rides.

The Klic Pump and Burst Tank is Crankbrothers answer to Topeak’s Joe Blow Booster, Bontrager’s TLR Flash Pump and the small but mighty Airshot to name but a few. A little late to the party, the Crank Bro’s features a removable pressurised chamber for inflating tubeless tyres and a pressure gauge on a hidden magnetic hose. Intrigued? Read on….

The Scott Trail 10 shorts are a relaxed ladies all mountain short that have ticked all the boxes where style and performance are concerned. It refreshing to see a short that is long enough in the leg to prevent any nasty thigh gap, there’s not much we don’t like about these shorts!

The days of women cyclists being forced to wear odd sized men's biking kit or having to don something that is pink or flowery are a long way behind us thankfully! The mountain bike industry as a whole now produces a range of practical and stylish jerseys for women. We've listed the best kit we've tried and tested, read on for our top rated jerseys. 

Some snow has delayed deliveries to the office but that didn't stop us gathering up six very cool things this week. These bits of kit are next on the test list, once we stop shivering in the office can get back on the bikes that is!

GÜP Industries (pronounced “goop”) is an all-in-one tyre sealant and inflator that seals and inflates tubeless tyres after a puncture. With a new distributor, Cyclorise on board, US brand GÜP is now available in the UK and will be the final thing all the 'enduroists' out there will need to attach to their bike frame!
