Every Friday we round up all of the fun stuff we’ve been sent to review and we show it to you, ready for you to pull it apart, lust after it, or just be rude. We all need some Friday gadgets to look at, eh?
Montane’s Atomic Stretch Jacket weighs in at just 310g and thanks to the jacket’s Entrant DT fabric it is waterproof, windproof, breathable and lighter than conventional outerwear. “A unique inner surface treatment gives this fabric a smooth and dry touch and feels refreshing and pleasant on the skin.”
It’ll cost £125 from the Climbers’ Shop in Ambleside or direct from Montane, with £75 going to Mountain Rescue England & Wales.
Orange Switch 6er. Stif Squatcher. Schwalbe Magic Mary Purple Addix front. Maxxis DHR II 3C MaxxTerra rear. Coil fan. Ebikes are not evil.
I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld.
Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
Been picking the gorse thorns out the back of my nuckles recently – looking for new gloves with a bit more padding in this area. 661 and Answer used to be good for this but recent efforts have had less and less… fashion… pah!
Those american classic wheels look sweeeet and at £400 a set there are great price. May have to invest in a set, replace my rather heavy set of mavic rimmed hopes.
I like the bit about Oakley helping Fox design the glasses, I think someone at Oakley saw it as an opportunity to kill off the competition by coming up with something so hideous know one would buy them.
Oh and that micro pump would be pointless on a road bike to.
Aliator. NICE. Those Smith spex look familiar….
Spookily I was going to buy an uppy downy post this weekend to go to Afan with but now I’m going to get a kayak instead.
Too much happening on the glove. I just want simple gloves y’know, leather palm, plain top…sigh
I’m strangely like the American Classics… wonder how much

American Classic wheels are ace, they do loads of road, track and MTB wheels but seem to be overshadowed by the big M.
nice fox sunnies could be a tad larger though 72mm circumference was so last year 74 is where its at this year
Sim, are they grey hairs I spy?! :)
Mate, if you worked here you’d have grey hair too. :-)
Best thing on there is Sim’s T Shirt! ;)
Will order Follow Me now if you have it. Amazon was quoting August for delivery, strangely when I looked!!
Please, whoever writes these articles, put the description then the picture. The way you do it is not right, and it gets on my titties.
Are Fox joking with those glasses? They all look awful/rdiculous.

Who actually sells Smith glasses? The UK distributor isn’t any help, and google throws up seemingly only foreign sites.
