Endura SingleTrack Softshell jacket


Essentially a technical hoody, the SingleTrack is light and comfy, with a relaxed cut that’s all casual style off the bike but, thanks to a longer back hem and plenty of movement through the shoulders, works well on it too. The DWR finish will keep a shower off but it’s not waterproof, and if you ride hard it gets warm, though not to the point where you overheat. To aid breathability it has ventilation holes under the arms, but we’re not sure these make a lot of difference. Despite its simple styling it has two zipped hand-warmer pockets, an internal chest pocket (with media port) and useful inner stash pockets that are perfect for keeping gloves in. The taped back neck is a quality construction detail. In case you don’t love colour blocking, the SingleTrack comes in an understated black finish as well.

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.
