Getting cold and wet on bike rides is the worst. Once my hands, shorts, and feet are wet, I just want the ride to be over. Products like the Showers Pass Crosspoint Knit Waterproof Gloves (and their amazing socks) can transform what was a miserable slog to something far more bearable by keeping hands (and […]
Review: Leatt DBX 1.0 GripR Fracture Glove
When it comes to gloves, I want mine to fit — well, like a glove. They need to hold up under the rigors of regular riding, be comfortable, enhance the grip of the bars and manage heat. But returning to my first point, they need to fit well. Leatt’s DBX 1 GripR Fracture gloves do […]
Review: Handup Gloves
One can never have too many pairs of good cycling gloves. We’ve accrued a sizable collection, but amongst our recent favorites are the ‘Merican Gray Digi Camo gloves from a company out of Chattanooga called Handup Gloves. The Merican is a basic, low frills, light weight minimalist cycling glove offered at a very reasonable $26 bucks. […]

However, most DH/ FR gloves I’ve run really haven’t been my favorite gloves. Although the protection is a great idea, out of the gaggle of gloves I own, only one or two get to […]
Troy Lee Ace Gloves bring the glam to dirty girls
Some women say diamonds are a girls best friend, and I am going to have to agree – especially when they are on my MTB gloves (as rhinestone accents). I love the idea of bringing together a little glam to such a dirty and mostly male dominated sport. This is just another way for the […]
Mace Gear Round-up
Product from Mace isn’t as easily available in the states as it should be. They make a some solid product, and it is very reasonably priced. Yet another import from our Canadian friends from the north, I’ve been beating on a full kit for the last year. I’m happy to report that their gear has […]
