Excellent jersey that works best in warm to hot conditions and I primarily reach for this jersey in the sumemr months. However, I have ridden this jersey with a base layer into the high 50s and remained comfortable. I am 5' 11", about 177 lbs, with a 40R chest. I purchased a size XL and it works well for my preferences. I could have fit into a size L due to the stretch fabric if I wanted a tight race fit. The fabric breaths very effectively and is very comfortable. To be honest, one of the big selling points was the excellent choices in bright, solid colors. I have both the vivid orange (my favorite color for visibility) and the red and I am very happy with the purchases. These jerseys are a very good value when the jerseys are on sale.
Kind of pricey, but WOW. These are without a doubt the best photochromic lenses I have ever used. Huge range in VLT and they transition really fast. Even in full sun they are really good. I was not expecting them to be this good, but now I might be bringing these along on more rides.
As a total optics nerd I have tried almost every major brand out there, but I always come back to KOO. This lens is no exception. My other fav lens is the fire lens becuase it actually does pretty well in lower light unlike many other red/fire mirror lenses. Def worth a try for MTB or if you have a lot of sun/shade on rides.
After trying several different bibs, I decided on these. The price appears reasonable, the chamois quality is comfortable and supportive, and the material is generally of good quality. The pockets are particularly convenient, with one on each side of the leg, and are ideal for carrying gels or power bars.
In my opinion, these are an excellent choice for gravel or road cycling.
For reference, I am 5'10" and weigh 172 lbs, and I ordered two pairs in a large size.
Had higher hopes than what I got. For starters, I expected a glove that had "arenberg" in title to have thicker padding. I have a pair of corsa rosso road fingerless gloves and the padding between to two is a bit similar. I had bought these with the purpose of using them cool weather gravel. To that effect my dainty hands were not quite as comfortable as I hoped. Another shortcoming is the snot strip. It's suede rather than fleece and thus not very good. The grip is decent but they made no effort to add touch screen compatibility. Considering how bike computers are heading in that direction whether we like it or not this would make it tough to adjust things let alone check your phone without taking off your gloves. I'll give these gloves credit for being gloves and better than nothing for shoulder season. I'm hoping as they break in the sharpness in the fabric between the thumb and first finger will soften.
