When you live at 7000′, UV exposure is a real danger. Over the past few months, John has been putting a new piece of apparel through the wringer on gravel and mountain bike rides. The Ibex Sun Hoodie looks like other sun hoodies, but it packs the power of merino wool. Let’s check out his quick and succinct review below…
We’re back with another Radar Roundup where we take some of the news items to come across our inboxes into an easy-to-digest dump of sorts, culling down the clutter from our homepage and making it easier to stay on top of what’s going on in our little corner of the cycling industry. This will come particularly in handy when it comes to spring/summer product drops from our favorite brands.
Check out our Radar Roundup below with products, videos, and a Radavision entry…
Cascada approaches the cooler, inclement weather with two new merino baselayers. Choose either a short sleeve or long in tan or grey. These baselayers are made in Italy and in stock, shipping now from Cascada.
Cooler and frigid temps are on the way and Kitsbow has merino tights that are developed for a perfect on-the-bike fit but can be used in any number of situations. Complete with a phone pocket on both legs and available in two ankle-lengths to ensure the optimal fit, the Rockstacker might be the most robust merino tights on the market. These are made to order in North Carolina at Kitsbow and thus carry a premium price of $199 but in this case, you get what you pay for. Check out more at Kitsbow.
Available for men and women, in a variety of colors, the new Ibex Wool Shak Lite bomber jackets aren’t cycling-specific per se but they offer warmth and comfort in a naturally wicking and odor-free 100% merino Ponte wool construction in a classic bomber silhouette. Perfect for bicycle touring in shoulder seasons or riding in winter months. Ibex’ clothing is bombproof, designed to look great off the bike, at a bar, or cafe, while keeping you warm and protected from temperature fluctuations. This garment is classified as a Midlayer piece, with 19.5 micron wool, and 300 gm2 weight. The full-zip front allows for venting and the zippered pockets will keep your goods safe-n-secure.
