Marc Abbott, 15 December 2011 11:58

Heat Holders Men’s Long Leg socks, £7 Time used: Two months. What’s good: Putting these socks on for the first time was a one of those rare revelatory motorcycle moments. They’re lining with a gloriously fleecy layer that has so far helped to keep my feet absolutely, 100% toasty in temperatures not far off freezing. They stretch to the top ...

They also come with the same knuckle protection featured on Alpinestars’ top-of-the-range GP Tech gloves, and fasten ...
