Kit of the Year

1. Sportful Total Comfort Bib Short
2. Vulpine Softshell Jacket
3. Endura Equipe Overshoe

We’ve ridden many happy miles in Sportful’s Total Comfort Bib Shorts in 2013 and that’s an experience shared by many of you, with the Italian firm’s super-comfy shorts voted Kit of the Year.

We loved the supportive fit and plush pad when we reviewed the shorts in June and your comments reflect that, with praise including: “I have a pair and they are my go-to shorts. They look the part as well”, “Most comfortable bib shorts on the planet” and “The most aptly named product on the market”.

Vulpine’s Softshell Jacket occupies second spot on the podium and the British company’s stylish offering received plenty of praise as “a technical jacket that can be worn on a commute or pub run and not look out of place”, while the Endura Equipe Overshoe, one of our go-to winter products, rounds out the top three.
