SCOTT’s trail storm jersey is designed for the chilliest winter rides. It works well as a warm layer fending off the wind chill and is cut to be comfortable yet well covering. The soft-touch fabric is pleasant, but heat build-up is noticeable once the temperature warms just a little.

Scott Trail Storm Shorts are a well-fitting, adjustable and breathable pair of shorts that work well at light waterproof duties. Unfortunately, the material isn’t fully waterproof for those prolonged mid-winter bum-soaking days out. 

The Nukeproof Blackline Shorts and liner are high-quality, lightweight trail shorts made of tough, breathable fabric. The sizing is spot on, and the stretchy material offers little restriction whilst pedalling. Being picky, the only downside is the pocket size and placement, but at this price point, it's hard to find many faults.

The Nukeproof Blackline jersey in short and long sleeve versions really hit the nail on the head for summer riding apparel. They are mega airy, well-fitting and at an excellent price point. Hard to argue with and not to be overlooked when looking for your next jersey. 

The Acerbis Mudout mountain bike fender is a bit left field as far as front mudguard options go, but it has performed with the best of them. The sturdy fixings on the fork leg make this pretty stiff. It doesn’t rattle or move, and considering its size, it does a great job of fending off the mud. As long as you have a drill at home to make the holes, this fender is a worthy contender.

Birzman’s Packman series is designed for travel and offers a range of bags to attach to various parts of your bike. These can be mixed and matched to cater to your individual needs. The Satellite is one of a two-part frame carrying system. The smaller Satellite bag is a handy size, perfect for essentials, easy to fit, but isn’t completely waterproof.  

Our friends at Road.cc reviewed the original Muc-Off Tubeless Valves back in 2019 and had nothing bad to say about them. An updated version has now been released which has some subtle-but-handy improvements making these one of the best tubeless tyre valve options on the market.

Lezyne is known for producing quality products and its Power Lever XL is no exception. The extra leverage and composite nylon material make these levers a no-brainer if you have a tight tyre and rim combination.
