The Jacket that Changes with the Weather Even with the latest weather apps keeping you up to date, you can still be caught out by a sudden change in cycling conditions. However, with the Women's Phantom Cycling Jacket, featuring Gore-Tex® Infinium™ with GORE® WINDSTOPPER®, you can adapt to those changes quickly and easily via zip-off sleeves. Start the ride with a long sleeve jacket. End it with a short sleeve jacket. The weather changes. So does this jacket. When it’s chilly, the Gore-Tex® Infinium™ provides complete wind protection, locking in the body heat you’ve built up when cycling. And it will shrug off light rain too. But as the sun peeks out, you can prevent overheating simply by zipping off the long sleeves, leaving you with a wind-protective and yet highly breathable short sleeve cycling top. Fit to Move When it comes to the fit of the Phantom, you’ll find you can move easily thanks to the jacket's bike-specific tailoring. Not too tight nor too loose, it’s just right for any biking activity. Gripper elastic at the rear keeps it snug where it needs to be while a drop tail adds coverage when you’re in a riding position. At the back, spray-resistant pockets let you carry essentials with ease. And for rides that go on beyond sundown or start before sunrise, reflective details keep you visible on the road.
Heading into the hills for some fun mountain bike action? The weather forecast looking cool and changeable? Then the Fernflow Pants are just what you need when embracing the elements. To the knees, thighs and seat area Gore deploys their GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ material with GORE® WINDSTOPPER® technology. This keeps cold winds out and warmth locked in, and with a DWR (Durable Water-repellent) finish light rain and muddy puddles present no issues. And should the day turn sunny, zipped side vents let you dump heat and let in airflow. With a trail-specific cut, you'll also enjoy plenty of mobility and smooth pedalling. Preformed knees are just right for an attacking ride position while slim calves cut down on flapping and prevent catches in the drivetrain and on trailside bushes. Flexibility is also enhanced via 4-way stretch panels along the groin, lower front and back. These too are DWR treated to fend off drizzly weather. The waist features Velcro® tabs, letting you get the fit of your Fernflows right. Gripper elastic to the inside of the waistband also locks the pants securely in place. No slipping here other than your tyres on wet and muddy mountain bike trails.
Created for racing but equally at home on a trail riding day, the Trigger MTB Pants are made from X-stretch, a multi-directional stretch fabric, they're tailored perfectly for a riding position so no matter how much you need to move and shift body-weight these trousers will never hold you back. You'll also not want to be distracted by slipping pants mid-race and with their silicone inner print and waist adjusters, the Triggers aren't going to budge - the perfect fit every time. During an intense Downhill race, you'll also relish the quick-wicking and breathable performance of the pants, ensuring you're not overheating and getting clammy as you put in race-winning efforts.
As you drop into your favourite trails, lean into berms, fly over gaps and send it smoothly off drops, the Flow XTG Pants ensure it's all done with you enjoying maximum comfort and mobility. The key to their performance is the iXS X-Stretch fabric. This has a 4-way stretch built-in, allowing for unhindered movement no matter what the trail and terrain might throw your way. But not just that, X-Stretch also deals quickly with the sweat you generate when mountain biking. Excellent breathability allows moisture-vapour to escape while quick-wicking performance draws sweat off your skin, leaving you dry and comfortable during even the rowdiest of rides. At the waist, the board-short style closure keeps the fit snug and secure while making adjustment easy too. The tapered lower legs avoid your trousers catching in the chain and cut down on flapping too. And with zippered hand and cargo pockets, there's space to safely stash your small essentials.
Rain. Mud. Fun. Mountain biking in the wet can be full of thrills and spills, testing skills and grip to the limit. And when skies burst with rain, the Carve AW All Weather Pant come into their own. A waterproof rating of 10,000mm ensures that both drizzle and downpours are dealt with, keeping wet weather out for prolonged periods of riding. The fabric is also quick to dry, perfect for when the weather can't decide between staying wet or dry. For comfortable mountain biking, it's not just about the waterproof protection either. Ripping down slippery trails and pedalling up stiff climbs will soon see you building up a sweat. However, with a 10K breathability rating, moisture has an easy escape route, leaving you drier and more comfortable on the inside. Muddy trails also demand quick reactions and easy movement. And the Carve AW pants won't disappoint. The combination of 4-way stretch and an MTB rider-focused fit enables you to move, manoeuvre and pedal your bike unhindered. An internal silicone gripper and waist adjusters also keep your trousers locked in place no matter how riotous your riding.

The Aliante is 1 of fi’zi:k’s 3 Spine Concept™ Mens Road Saddle shapes. Of these 3, the Aliante shape is the widest and most longitudinally waved. The Aliante R3 offers the composite carbon shell with co-injected nylon Twin Flex™ ‘sweet spot’ at the centre combined with a fi’zi:k kium rail. Fi’zi:k launched the first Aliante in 1999. During the intervening fifteen years it has become one of the most loved and favoured saddles in the world, by both pros and enthusiasts alike. 2014 marked a milestone in the evolution of the Aliante with the launch of an all-new sleek profile. Boasting a TWIN FLEX ™ Carbon shell it offers unprecedented comfort and a low weight. Going from Curvy to Skinny, the new Aliante delivers a sharp aesthetic. Aliante R3 is for The Bull: Rigid Spine. If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. Your degree of Spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason you will rotate you pelvis fully.
