The ultimate armour for spring exploration. Roam wherever the mission takes you, warm and protected from all the gnarly elements along the way. Or if the mission is comfort in your local street, this is the kit you need for all the right feels. We took Ohau on the 'Siberia Experience' near Mt. Aspiring to ensure it stood up to all nature could throw at it. Get yours for 40% off - limited stock, so make sure you get in quick.

Talk about a once in a lifetime ride, well our great southern detour adventure with VENTOURO would definitely qualify. When we set out to explore some of New Zealand’s most beautiful locations with a crew of legends, we knew we had a very unique time ahead of us. Panoramic views and postcard scenery don’t get much better than this. Rocking our full detour range of gravel kit including our brand new Nevis jackets and vests, the once in a lifetime ride through to Mavora Lake is worth a watch of the video on our site. While there, pick up the Detour ride kit in our once in a lifetime ride sale for your next 120km mission. 🚴

Thrashed. Soaked. Filthy. Functional. When we get a brief to build a piece of kit this weather-able, we can’t help but get excited... Ok it may be somewhat more tameable than most hybrid gravel pack animals we know, but this weapon is made for the #dayforit. The unisex ergonomic cloak of tech packed performance fabric makes the Nevis a performance softshell that can hack 5,000mm water column pressure thanks to our ilabb TEAMTECH outer shell Technology, while maintaining a breathable comfy lining of poly-microfleece all handled against the bod. Throw in added aeration eyelets for increased airflow and a bunch of logical pockets and reflective details, everything is where it needs to be when you hit the track or just pedal your way into lockdown freedom. A grip hem with silicone embossed elastic will keep it set on your frame so you an focus on the ride of a lifetime and less about the elements messing up your day with wardrobe malfunctions. Nah uh. Not on our watch.

It is a fast paced recipe so make sure you have everything you need out and ready to go. · You will need: Aeropress and filters, Coffee, Scales and a spoon or stirrer and of course hot water. First thing is to make sure you rinse your paper filter with plenty of hot water, and then grind your beans so they are fresh for brewing. The recipe is as follows: 20g of coffee - 200g water in total. 100g in the Aeropress and 100g as a bypass. 0’00 Place all the coffee in the Aeropress chamber and pour in 100g of water. 0’15 Stir vigorously 20 times - Place the cap on. 0'45 flip over and press down with a bit of force for 30 seconds. 1'30 the brew should be finished and ready to add the extra 100g of water.
