100% Ridefit gloves

100% Ridefit gloves

Out of the three pairs of gloves that 100% sent for our consideration, the Ridefit was easily my favorite. It wasn’t difficult to knock the iTrack model out of the running because the factory decided not to finish them prior to sending them out.

Not only did the claimed touchscreen capability not work, but one of the seams blew out while I was trying the gloves on at my desk. Too bad–they had such promise. The Simi model showed promise, too, but had a bit more protection than I need in an everyday glove. The Ridefit was just what I was looking for–the materials are a perfect blend of lightness, breathability and resilience. Based on the iTrack experience, I wasn’t expecting construction to be very good, but it was actually top notch. All the seams are bomber, and the touchscreen fingers work reliably. The Ridefit, as the name suggests, fit so well that they seemed to disappear on my hands. These and the Giro Rivets have a lot in common. Both are minimalistic, but I like that the Ridefit doesn’t use mesh between the fingers. Also, those who prefer a Velcro cuff closure should check this glove out.

GT Zaskar Evolution

While some bike models last just a couple of years, others change with the times to stay at the top of riders’ wishlists. In the second part of this series looking at the evolution of bikes that enjoy enduring popularity with UK riders, we turn to the GT Zaskar – a bike that was at the forefront of our sport for a long time and still has plenty of appeal today.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
