The Troy Lee Designs women's Ace 2.0 glove is a super-thin and light summer mountain bike glove, with a minimalist design we really like. They're well ventilated, work with a touch screen, and give good feel on your grips thanks to the thin palm. They can be hard to get on and off, however, especially with sweaty hands.

Ahead of the Coronavirus lockdown we made sure we were stacked with test kit, ready for the forthcoming weeks or perhaps months...... The first five coolest things from this drop of kit come from O'Neal, Giro, Endura and Alpina in the form of helmets, glasses and clothing. Dig in. 

Whether it be from online stores or direct buy brands, you can purchase many gravel bikes on the internet and get them shipped straight to your door in a matter of days. Most shops assure buyers of a full build and safety check prior to shipping to your home address too, ensuring you have a ride ready bike as soon as it lands. Here are the best bikes, scoring over 4 stars, that we have tested and that you can get posted to your front door.

Following on from the helmets featured in 5 cool things last week, we have more trail and enduro lids in for test from Giro, Bell and Lezyne. There are also new shoes from Pearl Izumi plus eyewear from Smith Optics and clothing from 7Mesh. 

The Smith Optics Convoy MIPS helmet is a great-quality trail lid at a bargain price. It's clear where costs have been saved, but that doesn't impact on safety, styling, comfort or fit – it's a very savvy choice for pound-stretched riders.

The Fizik Terra Powerstrap X4 is an off-road SPD and clipless shoe aimed squarely at the gravel rider. It's relatively stiff, comfy and fends off the weather very well indeed, and while the sole is not the best for muddy hiking, it's a stylish option. It will, no doubt, pique the interest of the fashion-conscious graveller.

We kick the week off with four new sets of knee pads from Alpinestars and O'Neal in the form of two lighter enduro style pads, plus two rather more aggressive pairs for gnarlier trails. We've also got a the IXS Trigger AM helmet on test, plus new women's riding gear also from O'Neal. 

Mountain bike guiding company, Trail Unknown have just launched their new webinar series. The series was born as their guiding work came to an enforced halt due to Coronavirus, the interactive webinar series will feature the interview of an outdoor industry expert each week and participants get the chance to ask their own questions too.

Just in time for the bout of gorgeous spring weather we are all enjoying in the UK right now, we've got a myriad of riding glasses in on test. The sunglasses come from various brands including Lazer, Madison, Smith and Tifosi. Plus we've got summer riding wear on test from 7Mesh.
