Britton's Picks

Bontrager Ion 700 Light


This is one of the sweetest little bike lights anyone could purchase. Yes I said its little, and that is one of the things I really like about it. For it's size, the Ion 700 pumps out a strong 700 lumens with multiple brightness setting and even a strobe mode. With the brightest setting you feel more than comfortable riding in the darkest of nights, whether it be on trail or road. I have used and researched many other lights and the Ion 700 is the best bargain for the brightness. If your looking for a small, sturdy, bright light, look no further.

Bell Super Helmet


The Bell Super helmet is awesome. I was searching for a helmet that provided great protection, coverage, and also a great fit. The Super meets all of these needs. When you put this helmet on it wraps your head in such a way that you won't have to over tighten the helmet to eliminate unwanted wiggle. Some people don't believe that a helmet should be over $100, but if you are interested in one of the best fitting helmets on the market that has a GoPro mount and can stash a pair of goggles under the visor, here it is.

Adrian's Picks

Bontrager Skull Cap


The Bontrager Skull Cap is nice, packable and covers the ears. Keeping your head and ears from the harsh cold wind will help tremendously at keeping you nice and toasty on those chilly rides.

Bontrager RXL Toe Covers


Bontrager RXL Windshell Toe Covers are also a very packable item. Because they are super easy to put on and take off I'll throw a set of toe covers in my bag and easily break them out if I need them. They will keep your toes warm, dry and protected against the wind. 

Gavin's Picks

Bontrager B3 Hooded Long Sleeve Base Layer


Having any kind of a base layer is a necessity for a dedicated winter cyclist to keep the good times rolling. The B3 hooded base layer is perfect for mild conditions under your race jersey, to very cold weather under wind resistant outer layers. It has thumb holes to make sure there is no gap between your long sleeves and gloves and a hood with a long zipper to cover your head and mouth in case weather gets worse than expected. This is the perfect gift for any cyclist because it is adaptable to many different conditions and uses. It is one present that won't sit in a closet collecting dust!

Bontrager H5 Hardcase Tire


Any cyclist can appreciate new tires and the Bontrager H5 Hardcase tire is a versatile and long lasting tire. It is offered from 26x1.5-2.0 inch to 700x32c-45c starting at only $29.99. It has an option for just about any bike. It gives great resistance to avoid puncture flats and is smooth enough for road commuting, but has enough grip to get you around in the snow. This would make a great Christmas or any time gift for your cyclist in need of some new tires!
