REI<\/p>\n

Bivo Trio Insulated Water Bottle – 21 fl. oz.<\/p>\n

\"On\"Trio<\/a><\/p>\n

Bivo shook up the bottle market when it launched its stainless steel bottles five years ago. The small Richmond, Vermont-based company launched insulated bottles shortly after, and cyclists have fallen in love with them. They work well, look good, and don\u2019t have a funky taste.<\/p>\n

Rapha Core Lightweight Cycling Jersey – Women’s<\/p>\n

\"On\"Core<\/a><\/p>\n

Labor Day may be in the rearview mirror, but that doesn\u2019t mean warm rides are over. This lightweight jersey is perfect for hot days, with a fit that\u2019s comfortable\u2014neither too loose nor as tight as a race cut.<\/p>\n

Shop Men’s<\/a><\/p>\n

Pearl Izumi Women’s Quest Thermal Bike Jersey<\/p>\n

\"On\"Women's<\/a><\/p>\n

This jersey is built to be your go-to for cool weather rides. Layer it over a thermal base on cold days, or wear it over a short sleeve jersey for crisp starts\u2014then pack it easily into a pocket or bag once the temperature climbs.<\/p>\n

Wild Rye Women’s Ridge Chammy Cycling Shorts<\/p>\n

\"On\"Women's<\/a><\/p>\n

These shorts are as comfortable as they are eye-catching, and Wild Rye has plenty of great prints. They’re perfect for sweaty indoor sessions and the hottest days when you want the least amount of fabric touching your skin as possible. <\/p>\n

Rapha Women’s Core Thermal Long-Sleeve Cycling Jersey<\/p>\n

\"On\"Women's<\/a><\/p>\n

Cooler temps are just around the corner, and this mid-weight long sleeve jersey is perfect for those chilly fall rides\u2014offering just enough warmth while still being easy to pack in a jersey pocket once the day heats up.<\/p>\n

Bell Formula Mips Cycling Helmet<\/p>\n

\"On\"Formula<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after a solid helmet at a great price, look no further. This lightweight lid takes cues from premium models without the premium price tag.<\/p>\n

Competitive Cyclist<\/p>\n

Pearl iZUMi Pro Barrier Jacket – Men’s<\/p>\n

\"On\"Pro<\/a><\/p>\n

This form-fitting jacket is a must-have for shoulder season rides. It\u2019s ideal for cool fall days that never fully warm up, and just as useful on rides that start cold but heat up\u2014easy to peel off and stash in a pocket when you don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n

Assos Spring Fall EVO Glove<\/p>\n

\"On\"Spring<\/a><\/p>\n

Staying comfortable on cold rides starts with the right gloves\u2014which usually means owning a few pairs of different weights to cover all conditions. This thin but versatile option is perfect for fall, and since it\u2019s a premium glove that normally costs much more, it\u2019s a great chance to grab it at a discount.<\/p>\n

Assos UMA GTV Spring\/Fall Vest C2 – Women’s<\/p>\n

\"On\"UMA<\/a><\/p>\n

This may be the best deal you\u2019ll see on a premium wind vest. It\u2019s form-fitting, blocks wind on the front, and uses a light, breathable mesh on the back so you don\u2019t overheat. I reach for a vest like this on crisp days and on big climbing rides\u2014when you\u2019re burning up on the way up but need just a touch of warmth on the descent.<\/p>\n

POC Ventral Lite<\/p>\n

\"On\"Ventral<\/a><\/p>\n

This lid is packed with massive vents, feels feather-light, and stays comfortable on long, hot days. It\u2019s not cheap, but at this price it\u2019s a solid deal for a premium helmet.<\/p>\n

Giro Synthe Mips II<\/p>\n

\"On\"Synthe<\/a><\/p>\n

The Synthe<\/a> was Giro\u2019s flagship road helmet for years\u2014and for good reason. It\u2019s lightweight, exceptionally comfortable, and offers excellent ventilation. While it has since been replaced at the top of Giro\u2019s lineup, the Synthe remains a high-quality helmet and one of my all-time favorites. This is a great chance to grab a top-tier road lid at a fraction of the original price.<\/p>\n

NiteRider Lumina 1000 Boost Headlight<\/p>\n

\"On\"Lumina<\/a><\/p>\n

NiteRider is known for making durable, reliable lights, and the Lumina front\/Sabre rear combo is no exception. The Lumina\u2019s fiberglass-reinforced nylon body and aluminum heatsink fins keep the Li-Ion battery cool and protected. A built-in battery indicator glows blue when charged and red below 20%. The solid front mount stays secure over rough terrain. And with 1,000 Lumens at full power, this little light is a small but solid device that can keep you going after the sun has set. <\/p>\n

Smith Wildcat ChromaPop Sunglasses<\/p>\n

\"On\"Wildcat<\/a><\/p>\n

The Wildcat is among Smith\u2019s best sunglasses due flexible fit, visual clarity, comfort, and style. The glasses come in several lens options including the brand\u2019s color-enhancing Chromapop technology. These are great for riders who desire maximum coverage and a bold style.<\/p>\n
