Gear Reviews – how does the gear I use hold up everyday use?

When it comes to riding gear and equipment, I don’t buy the latest gadget or replacing kit just because a new version has come out. (I’m far too tight for that!)
Some of the clothing wear is well over 20 years old, and it's still doing the job. Everything you'll find reviewed here has been properly used, tested and thoroughly abused on real rides in all sorts of conditions.
If it's good, I'll tell you. If it's not, I'll tell you that as well – no sales pitch, just honest opinions from someone who's actually lived with the gear.

I bought these gloves back in March 2024. What appealed to me was the classic look, they look like something from a bygone era, when bikes were not as refined as today, where practical protection from the elements stood for more than fancy materials, just leather and wool, natural fibres used for decades!

I’ve had lots of questions on the YouTube channel asking about navigation apps, what do I use?, how do I use them? and, which do I use?I have tried many navigation apps over the years, I’ve found Calimoto the easiest and most reliable, so now stick with it.
