To this day, the Search and State arm warmers are my absolute favorite and when I saw these new S1-KW knee warmers, I knew I’d found a new staple in my autumn attire. If you’ve used the arm warmers, then you know how soft and durable they are. These are made from the same material, using the same detailing. Made in NYC and in stock now at Search and State for $65.
Combining two materials like bamboo and merino gives you the best of both worlds. You get the warmth and wicking of merino with the durability and softness of bamboo. Showers Pass has done just that with these men’s and women’s henley shirts. Perfect for autumn cycling, camping or even the office. Multi-functioning pieces like this make a lot of sense. Available now, at Shower’s Pass.
Ringtail have just re-upped stock on their Breeze Breaker jacket and Breezer vest, as well as introducing their Block Breaker jacket. The two jackets are made from solid, ultra light nylon while the Breezer Vest is perforated on the back allowing for ventilation during those cool autumn mornings. This run has slightly larger wrist openings at the sleeves to make putting them on and taking them off a bit easier.
All of Ringtail’s jackets are made in Los Angeles and are slim-fit. Check out stock and pricing at Ringtail.

I love nesting pouches and zippered wallets, especially for riding. It’s nice to have one place to throw in your Co2, patch kit, multitool, debit card, cash, “safety” stuffs and even your phone. While there are hundreds of options out there, I’m currently using the Strawfoot Ride Wallet and Zip Wallet.
The Ride Wallet fits my Sony RX100mk3, or an iPhone 6, or even a Yashica T4 while the Zip Wallet fits cash, cards and my riding keys. Both are made by hand in Santa Cruz from weather-resistant cordura, a waterproof zipper, ripcord handles and have a secondary pocket on in inside. In stock now at Strawfoot.
Our friends at Strawfoot have been busy making some special kit bags for Grinduro.
