There’s no feeling quite like the summer breeze whisking over your arms and dancing around your chest as you blitz past caravans on the open A-roads in summer, and whether you’re bobbing along the back-roads or racing around Cadwell, you’re sure to work up a sweat if you haven’t got some vented kit in your arsenal.

And with another heat-wave on the cards this year, it’s looking like we’re going to need some extra cooling capability, so we’re taking a look at all kinds of vented bike kit this week.

Last week’s bargains

Exploring the roads less travelled can lead to all kinds of unexpected discoveries, from amazing new rides to fascinating out-of-the-way places and fabulous vistas that a straightforward route would have otherwise avoided. Yep, adventure touring is some of the most fun you can have on a bike, plus it doesn’t even have to stop when you run out of tarmac.

It’s important then to pick clothing that can handle the varying conditions, both in terms of terrain and weather, so this week we’ve picked a bundle of versatile jackets that can be adapted for the journey as necessary. Matching trousers are available for all bar one, so you can get properly suited up too.
