Review: Endura MT500 Burner Short, Burner Jersey, & Supercraft tee
Endura is known for high performance cycling apparel, and I still have set of the Humvee shorts that are still holding up years that attest to the durable materials and construction of their products. Until recently though, I had yet to try any of the newer pieces from the MT500 series. Earlier this year Endura […]

Review: Leatt DBX DBX 4.0 Pants & 5.0 Jersey
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 […]

Showers Pass Short Sleeve Henley
The Showers Pass Short Sleeve Merino Henley is made of a bamboo-merino blend of fibers that pair the best properties of both materials.
