Over the past few years, dhb's collections have been rivaling those that cost three times as much. The designs have been on point and the quality is shockingly good. Good enough to win 2015 Brand of the Year at the Total Women's Cycling Awards (not to mention parent company Wiggle.com winning two years in a... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Velocio ES Jersey, Wind Vest, & Signature Fly Bib Short
YOU GUYS. If you have been following me for long enough, then you know my love for Velocio runs deep. Deeper than my #wcw on Taylor Wiles, deeper than my admiration for Kristy Scymgeour. As if I needed more reasons to buy Velocio... This spring into summer I rode in the new ES Jersey, charcoal... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Velobici Premgripp Sock
I've had the great joy of riding in these socks for several months, over short rides and long, on the trainer and on the road.

I first came to know Dotout at Interbike in Las Vegas. I had seen their Instagram but there is no denying that touching a fabric is far superior to staring at a screen wondering if it would look right on you. Dotout is a fairly new brand on the market, coming out of Italy. They... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Arrueda

The Domestique Critique: Giro Amare II Helmet
It happens. Myself, the pavement and my helmet all meet at the same time with brute force and unfortunate circumstance. Enter Giro Amare II. I needed a new helmet and was intrigued to try something from the new Giro Chrono line at my LBS. I was initially attracted to the helmet because it matches the rad new lace-up... Continue Reading →
