Do you remember in the not-so-distant past when every man seemed to go a primal and grew beards in varying degrees of patchiness and ginger? As quickly as this fad came along, it began to wane, and the bottles of hipster-branded beard oil were soon replaced by equally hipster-branded cut throat razors and shaving brushes.
YES! The Christmas toys are coming in, and as much fun as playing with all the gadgets in the office is, there is nothing better than getting to play with toys in the name of work. R2-D2 from Sphero is exactly the sort of thing that would have been at the top of my Christmas list when I was younger (who am I kidding it’s on there now).

Anyone who cycles seriously will probably agree that bib shorts are not the coolest element of cycling apparel, but fashion isn’t the priority here - cycling is all about performance. With that in mind, if you are going to invest in a pair of bib shorts, you needn’t look any further than the Rapha Classic Bib Shorts II.
This is the world’s first Bluetooth speaker skateboard. Skateboarding is all about having fun. Whether you are young or old, you will smile when you ride a board. My passion for skateboarding started shortly after I could walk, and I have only ever ridden a shortboard or what most people would consider a ‘normal’ skateboard. I have never tried a longboard before, as I thought they would be boring!
The EXV range from Giro has been designed to allow quick and seamless switching of lenses to adapt to changing weather and light conditions. The Snapshot Magnetic Lens system is a super-fast, idiot-proof way to change your lens. There are magnets around the edge of the semi-frameless goggles that securely guide the lens into the correct position - simply push on the upper right corner and it will click into place. To release the lens, press down on the shutter-style button on the top right of the frame and rip the lens way.
It has never been more fashionable to be fit, and with Instagram clogging up with photos and videos of people showing off a record-length plank or folding themselves into the Scorpion Broken Tail, it seems the whole world is in competition to be the best. Technology has quickly tried to squeeze itself into every corner of the market to help you record, analyse and share whatever your chosen exercise is, and Babolat have joined the game by creating a range of smart paddles, badminton racquets and tennis rackets.
The Torpedo Versa 500 from Xlab is a carbon fibre aerodynamic aerobar hydration system - in other words, a super swanky water bottle that you can attach to your bike for easy access. The Torpedo is compatible with Garmin bike computers and multisport watches, and it also comes with the Aero Computer Mount so you can use it with non-Garmin computers. You can either raise the computer mount up to tuck in an extra bottle for race day or lower it down for a standard bottle to provide you with a better view on training days.
