Pro-Tec Riot Helmet

If a skate-style helmet is more your thing, then have a look at the Pro-Tec Riot Helmet. Venting at the top lets the heat out, and a built-in peak at the front keeps your eyes protected from overhead glare. The fetching orange colour will stand out about town, but there’s also black and white if you want something less loud.

Howies Women’s Classic Merino Base Layer

Merino wool is renowned for its wicking and antimicrobial properties; it keeps you cool in the heat, warm in the cool, and stops you smelling after 10 minutes on the bike. That makes this top a perfect option for riding into work, and for looking stylish when you get there.

Howies Ladies Hollie Skinny Jeans

Okay, we admit these are not strictly speaking designed for cycling in. However, we reckon the high-cut on the waist, and the stretch fabric mean they’d work well for short trips across town or out to see friends.
