A new addition to the world of cycling clothing, Giro (known for its good value helmets) has launched a range of casual-looking performance wear with the promise that it’ll perform as well as any high-end kit. Layering is key to the New Road collection and the rain jacket is its pinnacle. It’s fully rainproof and breathable, and made from a soft, 2.5 layer four-way stretch fabric with fully taped seams and reflective piping.

Price:  £169.99, available from Giro.
