Club Ride New West Jersey and Cargo Away Shorts
The Club Ride New West Jersey and Cargo Away shorts work really well on trail. And you'll probably wear them a whole bunch off the bike, too.
Bike Apparel & Armor
Specialized Tactic Helmet
Redesigned for 2013, the Specialized Tactic helmet does everything well, and at a good price.
Icebreaker Blast Long Sleeve Zip Jacket
For biking, running, skiing, touring, or all of the above, the Icebreaker Blast jacket is a great first line of defense from the elements.
Arcade Belts
If you’re going to bother to make a belt, you really ought to get it right. Arcade has.
Club Ride Bolt Jersey
If you don't want to look like either a roadie or a moto rider, the Club Ride Bolt jersey provides style without sacrificing technical performance.
Club Ride Half Rack Knickers
Club Ride Half Rack Knickers: functional, well-designed mountain bike shorts, made in the USA. If you're ready to rock man-pris, these are certainly worth a look.
Lizard Skins Knee/Shin Combo Body Armor
Reviewer Kevin Bazar has a lot of gripes with kneepads. A lot. So calling the Lizard Skins Knee/Shin Combo Body Armor "good pads" is a ringing endorsement. We agree.
POC Trabec Helmet
The Trabec is POC's first lightweight, in-mold helmet designed for the XC/AM/Enduro market. It's very well vented and offers good coverage, but its styling and colors might take some getting used to.
UPDATE: POC Cortex Flow Helmet
The POC Cortex Flow helmet is an impressively light, well ventilated, comfortable helmet that also offers good crash protection. (Yes, we checked.)
Fox Launch Pro Knee Pad
The Fox Launch Pro Knee Pad offers subtle styling, fit, comfort, and performance for downhill and freeriders.
Dainese Dynamo Armor Jacket
DH and ski protection that won't cause suffocation or heat stroke? Yes, please.
