The Aussie Grit Apparel competition is now closed and we have a Winner!
Congratulations to - Richard Haycock.
Aussie Grit Apparel will be in contact with you shortly.
For all of you who didn't win this time we normally say best of luck and leave it there, but on this occasion, there will be a second chance to WIN some kit over on our sister site off.road.cc.
So best of luck to you all for that one!
Aussie Grit Apparel is a new Australian brand spearheaded by former Formula One driver and outdoor sports enthusiast Mark Webber. The company has released its first range of off-road cycling and running apparel to very positive reviews around the world. Their kit is perfectly suited to long rides on the gravel or trails and we've tested both the women's bike shorts and the women's thermal gilet earlier in the year on our sister site off.road.cc with both items scoring highly.
To celebrate the release of their first range of apparel, called flint, our friends at Aussie Grit Apparel are offering one lucky winner (male or female) an opportunity to be fully decked out in their range of flint clothing.
Here's what's up for grabs:
Check the Aussie Grit website for more information on technical specs of the items but below is a description of each of the brilliant prizes
- Aussie Grit Apparel Men’s or Women’s flint Bike Jersey
Designed for what mother nature serves up
You’re muddy, you’re dirty and you want to stay comfortable. That’s OK, because it’s just part of riding in the outdoors, right? But your gear needs to protect not only from mud and dirt but also temperature changes. We’ve designed our trail riding jersey with a performance merino blend chest plate to keep you warm when needed but to still breathe as you get warmer. Add to that a jersey that deflects the mud (not absorb it) and you’ve got total comfort
- Aussie Grit Apparel Men’s or Women’s flint Bike Shorts
Here is where the prizes differ slightly with different styles being offered for men’s and women’s shorts. You can read all about the women’s version in Rachael’s review on off.road.cc. and below is a description of the men’s version
Aussie Grit’s signature performance fit off-road riding short with innovative ‘Anchor’ waistband linking inner with outer
When you’re riding off road the last thing you want to be thinking about is the shorts you’ve got on. That’s why we spent a long time in the saddle creating a two-in-one cycle short, with all the comfort of a road riding short and the protection of a mountain bike short. So you can enjoy what matters most: the environment around you

Aussie Grit Apparel Men’s or Women’s choice of either the flint Bike Light Gilet or Thermal Gilet
Men’s flint Bike Thermal Gilet
An off-road thermal gilet that keeps you warm and allows you to move freely
When it’s cold and only one (or maybe two) base layer garments won’t cut it, this thermal gilet, worn over your jersey, maintains your core temperature but still allows the freedom of movement that the trail demands. Read Rachael's review of the women's version on off.road.cc here.
flint Men's & Women's Bike Light Gilet
The Aussie Grit Women’s Bike Light Gilet … easy to wear, easy to carry
You’re out, surrounded by nature; the temperature is cool but pleasant. This gilet is perfect for keeping your core warm until you’re really warmed up. Then you can pack it away neatly into your jersey pocket. As easy as that
· Aussie Grit Apparel Men’s or Women’s flint Bike Shell
This shell is the perfect wet weather option
Some of the most stylish pieces of apparel are the most versatile. We apply the same principle to designing for off-road riding. A protective shell, suitable for most weather and terrain types.

Leave no stone unturned… and hydrate
The Aussie Grit premium drink bottle is a stylish hydration aid for the outdoors
