Just because the temperature is starting to drop doesn’t mean you have to put your bike away. For this fall gear guide we have search for some of the best new cycling gear for 2013. In the process we found a lot of gear that will make riding this fall a lot more enjoyable. We also found the sweet Küat Bottle Lock bike lock that is both simple and convenient. The best part is that we are giving one away to one lucky reader.
For me fall is some of the best weather to get out and run in. The temperatures are cooler and it is easy to add a layer if it gets too cold. But the biggest problem with fall running is shorter days and the unpredictable weather. Finding the right gear is essential to keep you both safe and comfortable while training this fall. We have found many products that have 360 degree visibility to make you stand out when running in low-light situations.
I am always on the search for a great commuter bag. Getting my stuff back and forth from work with ease is important. I have now owned and tested several bags designed for commuting and there are things to love about each of them. I will be focusing on the STM Linear Medium Laptop Shoulder Bag in this article. This bag has proven to me over and over that it was designed to handle the daily abuse of commuting. We are also giving away a STM Arvo iPhone 5 case to one lucky reader, check it out below the review.
With the days getting shorter and the night longer, the chances of running this fall in low light conditions increases. Having the right running gear is essential, not only to keep you warmer on cool days but also more visible for safer runs. We have also included some great tech products so you can both track and share your running experience.
One thing to know about me is that I love seasons. By the end of summer I am ready for fall and can’t wait til it starts to snow. Fall though, is one of my favorite seasons as the temperature start to cool off but going into the outdoors doesn’t require a giant parka yet. Also with the fall colors, fall is a great time to get out to the mountains and go camping.
A good day pack is essential to any successful hiking trip, but finding a pack that works for you can be a little trickier. I find that a good day pack blends capacity with comfort. Each year I find myself gravitating towards certain packs and this year it has been the Platypus Sprinter XT 25. There is enough room to throw in extra layers and hauls a massive three liters of water. Along with this review the good people at Cascade Designs have been gracious enough to give away a MSR Model 9 T-Shirt to a lucky winner. Check out the box at the end of the article to enter to win.
