Sugoi was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, which ‘enjoys’ a climate not dissimilar to our own.

That means it’s rarely too hot, nor unbearably cold, but regularly wet. They should know a thing or two about designing winter clothing well-suited to UK riding, then.

Our latest batch of test kit comes from the Canadian brand and includes the RSE Neoshell Jacket, which arrives with a significant claim as to it’s ability to keep you dry both on the inside and outside, as well as the RS Zero Jersey, Carbon Base Layer and RS Rain Glove.

It’s time to take a closer look at each, and offer some first impressions, before we head out on the road. Check back soon for full reviews.
