GIORDANA FR-C PRO KIT
Made for and worn by professional athletes riding on the WorldTour, Giordana’s FR-C Pro jersey and bibs are ready for your most important rides—or every ride! The jersey utilizes Girodana’s top materials, each panel strategically placed to enhance performance and create a close, secondskin fit. The bibs feature High Compression Power Lycra and non-restrictive woven elastic leg cuffs as well as an aloe-infused chamois. Plus this spring/summer-weight kit is made in Italy. At $200 for the jersey and $250 for the bibs, this kit ain’t cheap, but you’ll be hard pressed to find something that fits or performs better.

POC VENTRAL AIR SPIN NFC
You know what’s smart? A helmet that offers maximum protection for your precious brain. You know what’s even smarter? A helmet that can talk to first responders for you when you can’t. The POC Ventral Air SPIN NFC takes the great style, exceptional ventilation and aerodynamics of the Ventral Air helmet and adds an NFC Medical ID chip. First responders can scan this chip helping them make care decisions faster in those vital moments after a crash. This might be the smartest helmet choice around.
