Excellent for all-day riding in hot weather – top quality but not top price

Very comfortable shorts with a good, supportive fit and a great pad to match

Excellent user-friendly seatpack that should last years, and for a great price

Comfy fleece lining and wind/water resistent outer prove perfect for spring and summer, and it’s highly packable to boot

Good weatherproofing and a cosy, fleecy lining, but fiddly rear pocket and not as reflective as the competition

Long, stiff-based and great for fast road riding, yet usefully comfortable too

Clear, tough and very water repellent, these look great on and off the bike – polarised option is expensive though

Compact, with good battery life, useful choice of modes and handy swivel mount

Great value with useful modes, a good beam and excellent battery life

Rugged construction, with braking tech and several flashing modes, but concerns over battery life take the shine off
