I’m just disappointed Benji didn’t model it, can of Stella in hand.

Ahem, "sleeveless seamless base layer". Brings real performance to sitting in a folding campchair drinking warm Stella

I have some Paramo clothing and I have just the slight suspicion that while that jacket will be wonderful in many ways it might be a little hot for lots of conditions.

When it's very wet and windy Paramo are that dry but you seem to stay warm.

The 100% Sling gloves were my favourite until they died. 

But generally I think 100% gloves are the best ones out there.

Have fox learnt not to block the negative chamber bypass with excess grease? That will probably give a bigger performance improvement than this tinkering.

 

Also do they make 1.5mm spacers to those with Shimano rotors?

Those sling gloves will give an 'interesting' tan in the summer.

You mean washers?
