Total Compression SuperThermal crew neck compression top


A GOOD BASELAYER is essential to wick sweat away from your body and keep you comfortable in both hot and cold conditions. Compression layers, which up the ante with a tight fit designed to reduce muscle stiffness and soreness, have become especially popular of late - though usually at a price.

Made from polyester and elastane, this four-way stretch top from Total Compression is tight fitting and very warm. High quality flatlock seams and a good overall cut give a high-end feel, and the sides of the torso and underarms are made from lighter, ventilated material. Despite being a touch warmer than other baselayers, we can't really fault it at this price.

PRICE: 21$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
