Castelli Prologo Full-Zip Jersey - Long-Sleeve - Men's

June 8, 2009

Neel,
I suppose that depends entirely on where you live. I do use this jersey on summer mornings in Wisconsin, and when I'm in Washington state I ride with it during mountainous days. For me, this jersey excels between 45-60 degrees.
Hope that helps!

Comfortable, with a caveat

Rating for this product: 3 June 8, 2009

For me these shorts are good for rides up to about 1.5-2 hours in length. Anything longer than this distance and the very large, thick chamois makes itself known in my size small pair.
Some of my riding buddies swear by these shorts in L and XL sizes, where the chamois is proportionately smaller, but if you're a S or M like me I suggest checking out Castelli's shorts and bibs.

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2009

After about a thousand miles with these gloves I've been impressed with their durability and functionality. The gel has held up well, even after multiple washings, and is placed correctly for my riding position (predominantly on the hoods, with some flat bar riding while climbing).
My only gripe with these gloves, and what keeps them from a perfect 5 star billing, is the velcro closure. It's useless and unnecessary, providing no real adjustment in these already well-fitting gloves. Further, it interferes with my watch (worn with the face on the bottom of my wrist). When these finally wear out I will be purchasing the Rosso Corsa glove, which doesn't have the velcro.

If there's someone out there that hasn't owned one of these bags, I'd be surprised!
Unless you're one of the fixie guys or gals that needs to separate yourself visually from the rest of the pack, any rider will find this bag functional, and big on storage nooks and crannies.

Pros: Lots of independent storage areas for small items.

Cons: all storage areas are on the front side of the bag. If the bag is relatively empty this leads to the front folding in against your back.

Also, if you ever carry two items that don't mix (gym clothes and magazines or papers, for example), I highly recommend you look into the laptop version of this bag. The laptop sleeve provides storage for paper items and keeps them from getting torn up and bent.

Very Bright!

Blackburn Mars 4.0 Rear Light

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2009

I've used many taillights over the last few years, and find this model to be my favorite. The 1-watt LED is amazingly bright, and friends who've passed me while riding have indicated that the light is much more visible than most riders they've passed.
My favorite use for this light is actually on my road bike during daylight hours. Whether it's overcast, or a time of day with long shadows cast, this baby goes a long way in keeping me visible and safe!
