5 Extras That Will Add to your Cycling Experience

These Five Extras Will Add to Your Cycling Experience—or at Least Make You Look Good Trying. 61267n6f33L._SX355_

1. Giro Revel MIPS   |  Forget specialization. These busy days we look for a helmet that can do-it-all: bang singletrack, hang on group road rides, and cruise to the farmers’ market with the kids. The Revel can pull off all of that while providing plenty of ventilation and outstanding protection thanks to a MIPS system that helps cut down on your chances of sustaining a concussion.

2. Craft Glow Jersey  |  Meet another do-it-all piece. We took the Glow mountain biking, road riding and communiting. In all cases, the fabric pulled sweat away from our skin and kept out the chill. It also offered up built-in safety thanks to material that glows in headlights. Best of all, it had a bit more relaxed fit than so many cycling shirts made for svelte Euro freaks.

5. Zeal All In  |  It’s a plus to have cycling shades that can transition from road or trail to the coffe shop without making you look like a dork. These bad boys impart wide, wrap-around performance during the ride, but look damn good when you chill out and watch The Tour in a cafe post-game.
