Ecolyte Elite – Doing right by our planet and people
If you attended outdoor manufacturer shows this year you probably noticed that "eco materials" have reached saturation amongst manufacturers. And that's a good thing! , many company's are heavily vested into introducing or starting to use more "eco" in their future products. I use the term "eco" to mean "environmentally conscious" or "sustainably minded". For... Continue Reading →
Product Review: Apex – Marino Wool Tech Tee
The Apex Tech Tee is designed to be worn as a single layer, perfect for summer. I have always been a fan of wool as three season base layers so you could use this either way.

Product Review : Castelli Difesa 2 winter cycling cap / hat

NoxGear 39g Bluetooth Speaker Review.
Small and light is an understatement - the product's name of 39g doesn't lie. Most of us don't actually know what 39 grams feels like. If you have felt any other Bluetooth speaker, well, the lack of 39g's weight speaks for itself. For comparison a JBL blue tooth speaker weighs 550 grams, and the Boombotix... Continue Reading →

Coming soon… Noxgear 39g vs Boombotix bluetooth speaker review for cyclists
Having commuted by bicycle for a log time, I am familiar with needing something to break up the monotony.

Product Review : Indoor training fans and the art of cooling
Today's inside training / riding inside is a lot more complex than it used to be for me. Software, hardware, ERG modes, etc... if you are like me, then one of the last things on your mind when getting into indoor training is fans! Recent changes to the amount of indoor training I was doing... Continue Reading →
Tips: Cold Winters, Hot Liquid

With an abundance of refinement comes the 3rd generation sock waterproof sock.
