Kit for your head hands and feet
Cycling kits for spring and summer can be a difficult choice. And, when you add autumn into the equation, it becomes even more problematic. Too often these days,kuts are designed for aesthetics and not performance and comfort. GripGrab however do things differently, and form and function lies at the heart of their latest PCR range of cycling kit for men and women.
Women’s cycling kit has different requirements to men, and thankfully brands are finally accepting this. Danish brand GripGrib excel at creating high-performance cycling clothing and accessories – which is why Kristi thought it was time to take a closer look at how they create style and performance in harmony
Scicon make some of the most stylish, high performance sunglasses in the world – just ask Tadejcar. And, whilst Kristi may not be leading the world peloton, she also knows that quality counts – which is why she recently tested the Scicon Aerostorm sunglasses for herself.
When it comes to testing cycling kit, Kristi is proably the ideal person. With European titles in CX, on gravel and on the road, this exceptional athlete and writer knows what works. She’s also from the Baltic region, which is cold now and again – and so Kristi also knows how to wrap up well! Time then to test Danish brand GripGrab, and how comfortable their latest kit actually is.
As a pro level mountain bike racer, with experience competing on the roads, too, cycling kit performance and comfort is crucial to me. It has to stop the elements in winter, allow me a good degree of movement, and give me that extra security that comes with high-performance and comfortable winter cycling clothing.
Heading into the hills on road or trail, especially when riding alone, can bring a wealth of risks to the ride. We want to be adventurous, but we also need others to know that we’re okay – and more importantly, when we’re not okay. Time to take a look at Crash Sensors and location devices for cyclists
Finding the best cycling shoes in the world is a challenge. Ultimately, we’re all built differently, and that includes the uniqueness of our feet and how we use them. Add to this, that brands can’t easily shout out that they probably make the best cycling shoes, then we’ve got an additional barrier. Time then to look at what does make a great cycling shoe even greater.
