Sometimes a bike comes along that completely delivers in its capabilities, looks and build quality. The Mason ISO - In Search Of -  is one of those bikes. With an Italian hand-built frame, a superb level of finish and detail it nonchalantly comes along and redefines what a drop-bar bike is assumed to be capable of being.

Decathlon is synonymous with keenly priced outdoor kit and their in-house brand Rockrider AM mountain shorts deliver just that. They're well priced and clean looking with a no-frills approach on the features, but the cut is a little old school and the cost-saving can be felt in the materials.

Northwave's Outcross 2 Plus shoes are comfortable and casual looking clipless pedal shoes that still manage to perform off-road. They have a dial tensioner and velcro closures, plus a Michelin tread coupled with abrasion and impact details. All in all, they are great shoes for everyday off-road use or longer trips on rougher terrain.

Unashamedly aimed as a first-timer helmet, the Bell Nomad is a smart and functional lid for not much money, with up to date styling, clean looks and decent vents. Even without the MIPS option on this model, it’s a great first lid choice.

On-bike storage has become more popular of late, and 76 Projects' Little Piggy offers a neat way of mounting the essentials. When used with an optional dry bag that accompanies it, it’s a clean and fairly simple way to carry some kit securely.

ProtoTape has put together a very cheap glove packed some good elements, but it’s let down by some odd proportions and a lack of attention to the sizing across the glove.

Alpkit is always a good stop for reasonably priced, well made and smartly designed outdoor kit and this Airo 180 sleep mat is no exception. Small and light enough for bikepacking, it made overnight bike adventures that little more comfortable.

We’ve all had that disc brake that just won’t stop squealing and Juice Lubes Brake Juice disc brake cleaner helps combat the dreaded brake howl. It's quick and simple to use, works as advertised and it's decent value too.

Juice Lubes has an ever-increasing range of cleaning and maintenance products in their range and this Frame Juice frame polish does exactly what it says on the tin and it also protects by creating a surface that mud and muck don’t stick to so easily. It works and seems to last a good length of time too.

7mesh's Outflow hoody is a lightweight and insulated compact jacket, perfect for after ride warming up, off-bike use, cold days riding and bike packing trips. I’ve found the Outflow to be a great, versatile jacket despite the odd name.
