Sportful Fiandre WS Booties

 

When cycling in cold weather, it’s the hands and feet that get the coldest. There are many glove and overshoe combinations out there designed to combat this, but we’re loving Sportful’s Fiandre women’s specific booties.

Using Gore Windstopper technology, these overshoes are water resistant and stretchy to comfortably fit over the shoe.

Strava Premium

Ah – Strava. Most roadies are a little bit addicted to the white and orange social media site. Using the software to upload rides, compare efforts and interact with club members is completely free. However, for £44.99 a year it’s possible to upgrade to ‘premium’. Going premium unlocks extra features – from advanced analysis to personalised coaching.

Muc-Off Athlete Performance Essential Bundle

Muc Off’s Athlete Performance range includes warm up oil, shaving cream, aftershave and dry shower foam. There are many items within the range that would make great gifts – but this pack of three seems like a great starter set.

Our favourite item in the trio is the fantastic Recovery Balm designed to ‘increase glycogen storage and hydrate muscle cells’ (smells great, too). Next up is the Chamois Cream, which is enriched with Provitamins and uses natural ingredients to create a mild cooling effect for total riding comfort. You also get the ‘Ultra Endurance’ balm which contains amino acids which play a vital role in building and repairing muscle.

This set is £55, and you can see it here – or pick up individual items…
