Review: Rudy Project Protera MTB Helmet

by

The Protera MTB Helmet is the first MTB-specific helmet from Rudy Project, a brand best known for road cycling eyewear and helmets. Last year we had first saw the new MTB offerings at the Sea Otter Classic. For a road brand, the Protera MTB helmet looked like a more than respectable trail helmet; it was […]

Review: Showers Pass Crosspoint Knit Waterproof Gloves

by

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 […]

ABUS MonTrailer Helmet

by

ABUS is not a brand that comes to mind when it comes to helmets, but their MonTrailer helmet sure has some striking looks. While we need to reserve judgment for when we actually try one, the profile reminds me of something from the Last Starfighter or Battlestar Galactica, and that stirs my inner nerd. Like […]

First Look: 2019 Fox Fall Collection

by

Fox has really been stepping it up and the new fall collection is hot. There aren’t a lot of options for quality wet weather gear that fits like proper riding gear, and after running the Fox Attack Water Pants last season, they’ve made a fan out of me. Fox seems to have a good feel […]

Review: BLACKYAK Women’s Nelore Jacket

by

Always on the lookout for that perfect lightweight packable puffy jacket, when we discovered the BLACKYAK Women’s Nelore Jacket, I was obsessed with acquiring one to try. Founded in Seoul, Korea in 1973, BLACKYAK makes high-quality technical gear for mountaineering expeditions, along with other outdoor activities. BLACKYAK practically owns the outdoor space in South Korea; […]

Review: Leatt DBX DBX 4.0 Pants & 5.0 Jersey

by

Leatt dispatched a set of their 2019 cool riding kit to try out last fall. Arriving in December, it’s often a crap shoot on whether I’ll actually use it, as our trails turn from muck to being covered in snow this time of year. Fortunately (or not) thanks to a changing climate we’ve had some […]

by

2019 Leatt DBX 5.0 All Mountain Jacket and Shorts in the ink color.
