Answer Grit gloves

ANSWER'S GRIT GLOVES are part of their Trail Builder range and are styled to look like you're about to get heavy-handed with a chainsaw.

Don't be fooled though -they're more than happy clamped around a set of grips too. Made from soft synthetic leather, the Grits are slightly preshaped and have articulated knuckle joints to keep movement free and easy. There's silicone print on the index and middle fingers for a bit of extra grip, along with a tech patch for touchscreens. Their shammy-like feel means comfort is right up there with the best of them. They're not particularly well vented though, so we'd save them for cooler days.

PRICE 33$

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.
