#5 Weatherproof Denim
This product was recommended by Gary Lenett from DUER
The latest innovation in denim! DUER just launched its award-winning Weatherproof Denim for men. DUER has taken its proprietary Performance Denim fabric and lined it with a membrane that keeps water and wind from penetrating. The unique membrane is breathable and feels soft next-to-skin.
When creating the Weatherproof Denim, DUER wanted to produce a garment that solved the problem of stuffy, unattractive commuting gear. Truly the first of its kind, this Weatherproof Denim is designed to handle whatever Mother Nature throws at you – from rainy day commutes to windy walks. Rain, snow, wind, this denim can handle it all. And the best part? They look like a regular, fashionable pair of jeans.The Weatherproof Denim is based on DUER’s Performance Denim, offering not only the classic heritage look of denim, but spandex for stretch, COOLMAX® for temperature regulation, a Silvadur™ treatment for odor-neutralization, the DUER signature gusset, and of course the cherry on top – the water-repelling and windproof lining. It also has a reflective cuff for bikers.
#6 Vibrelli Universal Bike Phone Mount
This product was recommended by Jeff Boyle from Bicycling Magazine Online
Having a smartphone in view while cycling helps with navigation and tracking my ride. And while there are plenty of different handlebar mounts for phones, I really like the ease of use, universal fit and secure grip the Vibrelli Universal Mount provides.
The adjustable mount easily fit my road bike bar, and the stretchy silicone bands keep the phone stable while the sides are hugged by two substantial spring loaded clamps. A ball and socket joint allows me to rotate the phone as needed.
And if you’re riding without a phone, simply snap the silicone bands across the clamps to keep them from flapping in the breeze!
