5 cool things from RexSpecs, Madison, Leatt, Oxford and Bontrager
This week is an exciting one for all the trail dog owners out there, we have some RexSpecs in for test by a little hound who likes to run too close to the rear wheel. Plus there are more waterproofs from Madison and Leatt, proving that winter isn't over just yet! Lastly, there's bike wash and pedals from Oxford and a smart-looking high volume mini pump from Bontrager.

First up are some awesome looking dog goggles, or as the internet repeatedly named them last week - doggles!
