Equipment

Cycling clothing

- The Tempr Off-Road is a comfort-focused gravel and touring shoe with a flexible nylon sole, good roll-off characteristics and solid build quality, priced at €149.99.  
- A narrow fit with stronger support on the outer side of the foot, a secure Boa Li2 fastening at the midfoot, slightly less support at the forefoot, good breathability and good grip thanks to the lug pattern.  
- Sufficiently stiff for everyday use and touring, but not suitable for competition or maximum power transfer; weight 810 g (size 45); strengths: comfort; weakness: outer foot support.

- Falls whilst mountain biking often result in painful hand injuries, as hands instinctively break the fall.  
- Gloves reduce abrasion, improve grip, protect against branches and flying stones, and reduce fatigue in the hands and forearms.  
- Following a fall, it is essential to clean the wound, apply a cold compress, rest the affected area and, if pain or swelling persists, seek medical attention.

- Pee-friendly cargo bib shorts combine easier toilet breaks with thigh and back pockets, making them ideal for commuting, bikepacking and ultracycling.  
- Various designs: stretchy side straps, drop-tail, magnetic or clip fastenings, as well as strapless models, some with specialised chamois.  
- A wide range of brands, prices and features, from pad-free (everve) to menstrual pad options (Wilma) and limited-edition small-batch ranges (Kostüme, Petrichor).

- Micro-suede palm with silicone grip print for direct contact, precise handling and a secure grip rather than heavily padded cushioning.  
- Touch technology, elasticated cuff, reflective elements; versatile for cycling and outdoor sports, price: €39.99.

Kinetixx Farik Superlight: Minimalist summer gloves

- Deuter Attack 16: very high build quality, well-designed compartments, excellent carrying system, but relatively heavy and expensive.  
- Specialized Evade 4, First Degree Seeker, Sixpack Evo Rail Ultra: designed for racing, multi-purpose use and simple, lightweight saddle mounting.  
- Troy Lee Speed Pro: very lightweight, comfortable trail knee pads with Level 1 protection and good coverage, but limited ventilation.

Items at risk: helmets, rucksacks and shoes put to the test

- Hestra is applying its expertise in glove design to a new MTB collection featuring an ergonomic fit and models tailored to specific uses.  
- D3O models (Ergo Grip Enduro, Bike Guard) prioritise robust protection and vibration damping, whilst Race Cut and Ventair focus on minimalism and ventilation.  
- Sprint and Apex are robust all-rounders with a focus on comfort; their high prices are matched by exceptionally high-quality workmanship.

- Cargo bib shorts with four pockets, a seamless Endurance pad and a comfortable waistband, designed for long distances.
- The ‘pee-friendly’ strap design allows for quick toilet breaks, whilst the higher-cut back requires a little more dexterity.

Cycling to the World Cup public viewing: what cycling football fans need

- With the Air Jacket, Air Vest and three other models, Q36.5 is launching a collection for wind, rain and temperature fluctuations.  
- The Air Jacket weighs 69 g, uses 7-denier nylon ripstop with a wind-repellent membrane, DWR, mesh back and reflective elements.

Cycling jackets

- Leatt ThermaFlow 5.0: lightweight, stretchy MTB waistcoat with graphene waffle fleece, high collar, ventilation bar and three zip pockets.  
- Strengths: good temperature regulation in the transitional period, bluesign® materials, PFAS-free impregnation, plastic-free packaging.  
- Weaknesses: only wind-repellent, low moisture protection, flappy cut, taped seams coming loose; less suitable for wet conditions and long descents.

Warmth without heatstroke: the Leatt ThermaFlow 5.0 waistcoat in the test

- The decisive factors for MTB marathons are suitable equipment, well thought-out self-sufficiency and balanced weight planning depending on the route and conditions.
- Sufficient food and liquids, a tyre repair kit, multi-tool with chain rivet, chain lock, weather protection, GPS, mobile phone and money are essential.
- Transport via hydration waistcoat, frame storage compartment, Velcro fastenings and jersey pockets; rucksack and saddlebags are considered disadvantageous due to handling and comfort.

The must-haves for the long-distance MTB marathon

- Lightweight mesh base layers improve moisture wicking, evaporation and cooling in the height of summer, and prevent jerseys from becoming clammy.  
- The key factors are an open mesh structure, low weight, high breathability and a close-fitting, second-skin fit, rather than specific brands.  
- The following are particularly recommended for very hot, intense rides: Assos Summer NS Skin Layer P1, Craft Pro Dry Nanoweight and Castelli Core Mesh 3.

Functional underwear for summer: The 6 best base layers for hot days

- Raphaela Franke founded RaphRoxs to develop MTB clothing with a women’s-specific fit and incorporating feedback from the community.  
- Key features of the trousers include a specialised cut, an adjustable waistband, well-thought-out zip positions and a wide range of size and colour combinations.  
- This small, one-woman brand manufactures 95 per cent of its products in Europe, sells online and plans to expand the collection in collaboration with female cyclists.

- Performance base layers improve the microclimate against the skin whilst cycling by quickly wicking away sweat, providing a larger evaporation surface and keeping the jersey drier.  
- Lightweight mesh base layers are particularly useful for long, intense rides, varying levels of exertion, aero jerseys and heavy sweating.  
- The choice of material is crucial: polyester/polypropylene and mesh for hot conditions, merino/blended fabrics for changing conditions; the benefits depend on intensity, weather and duration.
