GripGrab Arctic Waterproof Shoe Cover
GripGrab say that it’s the warmest overshoe on the market, and they’re probably correct. It’s cut and sewn from 4mm waterpoof neoprene, with a hollow fibre lining to ensure comfort, and it works.

You just need to look and feel these overshoes to know that they’re the very best quality. In fact, they look as good turned inside out as they do on the protective side. GripGrab have gone to town on the design and materials used, and they fit on easily, stretch with toughness, and simply perform superbly and look the business.
These really are a well thought out and we’ll made glove. Using a one piece, strong and stretchy Tavolara fabric on the back of the hand, with a long pull on tab that’s part of the palm cloth, they’re extremely light and very well fitted.
Absolute Black are absolute quality in terms of the items that they produce. We’re really impressed with the quality of the finishing, the machining and the anodising on their premium oval chain rings. The level of detail is superb, with obvious care and attention given to the finished item that carries their brand name.
Q -Rings from Rotor are not wholly new. Some of you will recall the Bio rings of a few years ago; but what Rotor have done is to research and refine things to get what they believe is the ultimate chainring. Question is then: ‘how do they perform off-road?’
I’ve been lucky enough to work in the cycling industry for some time, so I’d come across Q Rings before, a few years ago, but it was good to use them again. Having them fitted to a good Italian Sarto frame should do the trick for testing, and during the ride my legs felt great; they turned the cranks over nicely and didn’t feel fatigued at all.
Chris Froome used to swear by these chain rings, and with 4 Tour de France wins to his name, and a questionable second place to Wiggins (he should have been alowed to take the win), that should be a good recommendation.
