No round up of the best kit for cycling would be complete without an entry from Wiggle’s great value own brand dhb, and summer socks are not let down thanks to the dhb Light Weight Cycling Sock. Also made from lightweight Coolmax, if you’re not fussed on the brand snobbery of having Campagnolo around your ankles, these good value offerings from dhb will do a very similar job at keeping your feet feeling loved. Reinforced at the toe to prevent wearing, these will see you through many a sportive.

Price: £6.99, available from Wiggle.
