MTB gear with F1 pedigree
Headed up by Australian Formula One driver Mark Webber, new outdoor clothing brand Aussie Grit boast of design “with an absence of negatives” – and we certainly hope that’s the case, given the eyewatering prices. Shown here are their Flint bike shorts, which are made from a four-way stretch fabric and have a built-in liner that’s joined to the outer through its elasticated, drawcord-secured ‘Anchor’ waistband. The matching jacket is fairly minimal in terms of features, and made from a three-layer breathable and waterproof fabric. It’s got shaped sleeves, a zipped chest pocket and an offset main zip. Does all this warrant the cost? We’ll find out soon when we put it to the test.
Price $225 (shorts), $330 (jacket)
