Pick up an affordable option for cycling gloves in the shape of these fingerless Giro Jagg Mitts. They’re lightly padded along the palms over key pressure points, the top part being made out of a smooth, four-way stretch Lycra for comfort and fit, which is further aided by the slim Velcro top closure.

Gloves are especially useful to aid grip during hilly rides and to prevent sores from pressure-points, as well as providing a little extra warmth. For less than £20, these Giro mitts are handy for shorter journeys, though may feel a little big for extra small hands due to the unisex sizing.

Huub Commit Long Course Tri Suit

• £119.99

A classic in the HUUB range and for sub-£120, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better quality suit for your money. This long-distance primed tri suit feels silky smooth on and has just the right amount of tri-specific chammy padding to cushion you on the bike, while not getting in the way when running.

The stylish ombre design’s a big tick in our books, too (women’s design’s blue, see top image). Comfort extends to the neat zip garage and medium-sized leg grippers. Angled pockets make grabbing a gel super easy, plus the lightweight fabric’s quick-drying on the move.
