Cycling Weekly Verdict

Chrome industries’ Midweight Cycle Gloves make a great, low-bulk option for winter riding and commuting. They feature a waterproof layer and are impressively warm, while still delivering a good sense of feeling at the handlebars and stuffing away quite small. However, the very short cuff does limit their use in more miserable winter conditions.

After winning the 2019 National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Biking Championships and claiming the plushie unicorn (true story), Stefan swapped the flat-bars for drop-bars and has never looked back. 

Since then, he’s earnt his 2ⁿᵈ cat racing licence in his first season racing as a third, completed the South Downs Double in under 20 hours and Everested in under 12.

But his favourite rides are multiday bikepacking trips, with all the huge amount of cycling tech and long days spent exploring new roads and trails - as well as histories and cultures. Most recently, he’s spent two weeks riding from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia
