Gore Power Trail Insulated (Partial) jacket


This part-insulated version of Gore’s Power Trail jacket mixes their water-repellent Windstopper fabric with strategically-placed PrimaLoft Gold insulation. It puts the weatherproofing and insulation where you need it most, and joins it all up with highly breathable stretch panels. While it warms up quickly as you start riding, it doesn’t let you overheat, so it’s good for stop/start days. The fit is slim but not tight, with a drop hem, and allows complete range of movement, while the snug collar is higher than most. It has two zipped hand pockets and a chest pocket. We like the cut and construction of the sleeves and cuffs, which works perfectly with winter gloves to avoid gapping or bunching. This jacket's outstanding performance means we’ll be wearing it all winter, on and off the bike.

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.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
