    I love the three pockets at the back - so practical for phone, cards, tissues etc - and love the long, long sleeves and high collar so I no longer need to fret about the sun. The top doesn't seem as anti-microbial as I was hoping though. At the end of the day, perhaps, polyester is still just polyester.

    Tip Top - versatile top

    This is a good top as a light extra layer on cooler days or on its own on warmer days for sun protection. Based on the size chart I bought a size 16 but it was too baggy and oversized so I exchanged it for a size 14, which is what I would normally buy. The 14 is a good fit so I would recommend buying your usual size. 'Fast Exchange' process was very easy.

    I already have one of these long sleeved tops, but decided to purchase another one in the blue. The main reason I have these is because I need to keep my arms protected from the sun and they do breath. As it gets colder I put a light merino underneath.

    Just right for autumn gravel rides

    Love the green colour and size is just right, not too tight. (purchased a size 12, I'm 164cm/64kg) Very comfy, good size pockets. Don't think I'll wear it in the middle of summer but mid-season it's perfect. Only change would be a different contrasting colour on the cuff, rather than white. Great quality product, as always from GE.

    This second pair of Double Happy cycle shorts are great with one exception. The dome clasp at the top of the fly zip is virtually impossible to open and I am concerned about ripping it out of the material as I try to undo it. I have been using the shorts by putting them on without opening the clasp.

    A softie Aucklander who loves this for the cold starts on a frosty (such as we get) morning. Combined with long sleeve Berglar top it is great for our mild winter commutes.

Keeps the core nice and warm without feeling heavy or restrictive. You need a moderate long sleeve underneath for a snug, ‘race’ fit. Rear pockets are ideal for some snacks and spare gloves, and the front pocket holds a lense cloth and cash/card/ID nicely.

    Brilliant. I use it for biking and trekking. I love the blue colour over my old orange one. I am a woman's 12 but got the 14 in the jacket, which fits a couple of merinos under nicely. It's worth splashing out on, especially if it lasts as long as the old one did!

Why do this - Having recently lost a very expensive hearing aid on a long MTB ride in the Brindabella mountains near Canberra, I was pleased to find an account of a Canberra cyclist who was injured in a cycling accident that offered a solution to avoiding future hearing aid losses. In the account, the hospital staff were pleased to see that the cyclist's helmet had died to save his head and the cyclist was delighted to find that his hearing aid was still alive underneath his bandanna. Inspired by this, not only have I found the bandannas to be great for protecting my hearing aids but light fabric has not impaired the effectiveness of my hearing aids. I also now wear a bandanna underneath my hat when I go bushwalking. So hopefully no more losses of hearing aids. To wear them, I have found that the bandanna fabric stretches easily when fitting. I have tied a knot at the rear of each bandanna, I then position it high on my forehead and then bring the knotted end down at the rear of my head so that it covers my ears - Easy!

But my new Draft Dodger jacket is by far my best ever buy. This jacket exceeds my highest expectations. It’s so warm and comfortable, well made, looks and feels great, and what is extra good are the four easily accessible, useful pockets - these are in addition to the large back pocket. This jacket gets my highest recommendation. Mike

    Two pairs of Tournadoes were used over the last two weeks riding the Munda Biddi Trail in Western Australia. Perfect fit and comfortable for this plus 6hour days on the trails. Highly recommended.

Easy to fix to my triple fork bosses, easy to take on/off. The 4.2l small size fits my cookset and towel in one side, electronics and puffer in the other. No rattles when riding, swing weight is negligible and the plastic fixing brackets don't stick out too bad with no bags. Winners

I was very happy with them. The gear is super well made, and a great size for MTB flatbars. While you could use any cylindrical dry-bag with the Harness, the sewn in red loops mean some extra security/stability in how it sits in the harness. My only complaint would be that the dry bag could benefit from an air valve (like the Revelate seat pack has), to help get air out of it when rolling it up. Not a big issue, however. All in, highly recommended

    Seems to work ok . Not easy to hold on chain and work pedals at the same time. Does produce a cleaner looking chain. Will continue to use as directed and ask the bike mechanic for his comment when next getting my e bike serviced .

    An easy to use system to get that annoying grit out of your chain - I thought it was pretty clean before I started but when I put the chain through the cleaner system there was a lot of fine stuff collected on the bottom of the container! Chain is sparkling clean now! Thanks team

    As usual, all your gear is good quality. My only other comment is that they are too tight on my forearms. I ordered the largest size and don’t think that my arms are particularly large
