Product review: Ultimate Add Ons iPhone hardwiring kit

Andy Downes, 07 June 2012 16:53

Ultimate Add Ons iPhone hardwiring kit £24.99Time used: One month What’s good: Motorcycle satnavs are great things that take a lot of the stress out of long trips but on a bike like my BMW S1000RR long term test bike, the lack of room in the cockpit makes fitting one a bit of a nightmare. One solution I have is ...

Andy Downes, 15 February 2012 11:51

Alpinestars S-MX5 waterproof boots, £179.95 at MCN ShopMiles covered/time: 3500/six months What’s good: These waterproof boots thankfully live up to their promise and manage to combine warmth with total waterproofing; something so many other claimed waterproof boots don’t. They may look like race boots rather than other rival boots that look more like wellies, but they still do a great ...

Spyke Fuel Race Gloves

Andy Downes, 09 November 2011 11:26

Spyke Fuel Race Gloves, £110 Miles covered/time: 6500/nine months What’s good: These Spyke gloves are a replacement for an older set that wore out after three years of constant use. From the start they have been comfortable and can cope with hot and cold temperatures. These are not winter gloves but manage to keep out the cold to around five ...

EDZ one-piece baselayer

Andy Downes, 27 October 2011 10:24

EDZ one-piece baselayer, £50 (now superseded, £60) Miles covered/time: 25,000/two years What's good: Once you have worn a baselayer under leathers the days of struggling to get in and out of them are gone forever. The EDZ suit is the best I have ever used by managing to be comfortable under the leathers, stopping them rubbing and also acting as an ...

Alpinestars S-MX5 waterproof boots

Andy Downes, 21 October 2011 09:16

Alpinestars S-MX5 boots, from £180 Miles covered/time: 4500/six months What's good: They are totally, utterly and completely waterproof which, for waterproof boots, comes as a tremendous relief if disappointing past experience is anything to go by with so many pairs. The build quality and style are top notch and even though these are waterproof touring boots they don't look like ...

EDZ Midlayer Fleece

Andy Downes, 21 October 2011 09:06

Miles covered/time: 5000/two years What's good: It's really comfortable and makes a massive difference to your body temperature. It may appear to be a very thin fleece but it manages to pack in a huge level of warming performance and will also go under fairly tight leathers so can be used on even really chilly winter days. During the colder ...

Alpinestars El Nino waterproofs

Andy Downes, 26 September 2011 17:19

Alpinestars El Nino waterproofs, £89.99 Miles covered/time: 1500miles/three years What’s good: They are completely waterproof which is handy as that is their only aim. I always find it incredibly disappointing when a one-use motorcycle garment fails to perform but there is no such worry with this one-piece waterproof oversuit. Some of the rides I have worn these Alpinestars El Nino ...

Product review: Autoglym visor cleaner

Andy Downes, 22 September 2011 12:44

Autoglym visor cleaner, £12.49 for 500mlTime used: Five years What’s good: I take this tiny bottle of visor cleaner with me everywhere I go as it’s small enough to travel but will last for at least a week or two of constant use when travelling. The price includes a large bottle that you refill the small spray bottle with. I ...
