review Complete with wind tunnel data and six months of real-world testing

review The Insulated Trigger gloves are the most capable winter gloves I have used

review On paper and the road, the Tarmac SL8 is better than the SL7 in every way, but does it beat its competition in 2025?

review The Hiplok Z Lok Combo is an incredibly lightweight and portable combination lock for low-security situations

review DMT’s concept could be a game changer, further improvements would take it to the next level

Review More like a high-performance armoured shell than a cycling jacket, with more features than you can shake a stick at, but at a price so high it makes my head spin

review The Thermobooster base layer is yet another piece of impressive kit from Assos that does a specific job or two very well indeed

Review Beautifully tailored, incredibly comfortable, and effective at both high and low intensity with the right layers

Review Supremely well insulated, waterproof enough to shrug off rain, and with enough room for substantial mid layers. With this on the market, what's stopping you riding now?

review Huge amounts and variation of storage, great levels of insulation, and superb value, but not the best fit or breathability.

Review The Winter LS Skin Layer just might be one of the most comfortable pieces of cycling kit I've ever worn

Review Excellent chest strap heart rate sensor with dual connectivity

review The Lake CX146 is the perfect winter cycling shoe if you have wide feet, and will keep you covered into sub-zero conditions with the right socks

Review A very gradual beam cutoff means the Magicshine Ray 2600B works well on and off-road

review The POC Thermal Cargo tights are highly capable, but the pricing is top tier

Review An accurate, easy-to-wear heart rate monitor that crucially isn't a chest strap

Review They came out on top in our own wind tunnel tests, but how did the Scope Artech 6.A wheels fare in the real world?

review My experience wearing the Whoop 4.0 alongside Apple, Garmin and Polar watches, plus dozens of heart rate monitors

Review The Pirelli P Zero Race TLR RS has decent wattage figures, but often breaks traction on steeper climbs in the wet

review The Sidi Nix winter boots are comfortable and durable but some of the classic winter shoe weak spots remain
