In this article I will review the Giro Monaco Cycling Gloves. These cycling gloves seem to have a good and allround feature set for the highly interesting price-point of € 23,-.
Gloves are in addition to a helmet the very few protection items for road cyclists. So I’ll share my personal view on comfort and features.

Tall veloToze Shoe Covers will be the review product of this article. I tried to find good cycling overshoes for rainy conditions, that have a good fit against the calf muscles of the lower leg. Especially when you have long thin calf muscles it can be difficult to find good overshoes.
The Assos rainBootie_S7 shoe covers were beaten by the tall veloToze ones for a fraction of the price.

pOcpac Neck Tube is a multi functional neck scarf that can be used in 10 different ways. The functionality is comparable to the well known Buff products. In other words it is a solid Buff alternative for a good price.
The pOcpac Neck Tube has a cool unique design from John McFaul and was limited available. I have been using the neck tube both on and off the bike, and I will briefly share my experiences.

While installation is not that hard I would like to know if I can still use the Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Speedplay to install these new Walkable cleats.

Finally I will share a brief overview of the other Solestar cycling insoles.
