Not every rider is a weekend warrior, there are also professional riders racking up huge numbers of hours in the saddle. These pro riders are out in the elements every day, come rain or shine, so need hard-wearing kit that keeps them on the road. Oxford’s Courier Hotgrips are designed to fulfil that brief, so are made from a hard-wearing rubber, with denser material in some areas for extended life, and a square tread pattern that is said to reduce vibration. They have five heat settings, auto shut-off to preserve battery life and fit onto any 22mm diameter handlebar. SRP is £119.99.
The Courier Hotgrips are also “Clic Grip” ready, which means they have the facility to rapidly fit Oxford’s Courier Muffs to provide even more protection from the elements. They are made from Neoprene with a soft fleece lining. Waterproof seams and pullcord-adjusted weatherproof gaiter around the opening keep hands warm and dry. SRP is £54.99.
