I have a mixture of on and off-road kit – it all gets well-used and I know what works well, and what doesn’t. I’ve found that my favourite Euskadi shorts are amazingly comfortable in the saddle, but that the bib straps rub my nipples… I discovered that opposite ends of the budget can produce great kit, with excellent examples from DHB and Rapha… and I’ve realised that some companies could make brilliant kit if they only invested a little in the quality of their make-up.
