Stewart’s Clothing

Item Quantity Weight (Grams) Notes
dhb Classic Thermal Softshell JacketView dhb Classic Thermal Softshell Jacket 1 480 Another great product from dhb! Stew especially loves this softshell jacket.

Warm Winter Socks 1
Rab Lightweight Boxer ShortsView Rab Lightweight Boxer Shorts 1 58
SealSkinz Waterproof Beanie HatView SealSkinz Waterproof Beanie Hat 1 27 We cycled with this beanie under our helmets, wore it when we were exploring towns and cities. It is a bit crinkly, but not that bad, we even slept in it when camping in temperatures as low as -6.

BuffView Buff 1 35 You must take a buff! They're so versatile. Wear them to stay warm, protect your ears from cold and wind. We used to put our camping pillows into a buff and use it as a pillow case, too.
Men's Rab Downpour JacketView Men's Rab Downpour Jacket 1 We loved these Rab jackets. We bought at least two of these each over about seven years!

Berghaus Deluge OvertrousersView Berghaus Deluge Overtrousers 1 460 We both loved these trousers and wore them throughout the entire trip.

Rab Microlight Down JacketView Rab Microlight Down Jacket 1 290 We've slept in our down jackets, wore them in the rain, compressed them for most of their lives, and they're still in tip-top condition.
Karrimor Running GlobesView Karrimor Running Globes 1 31 Really handy gloves for wearing underneath larger gloves, or just for keeping the wind off your hands; sometimes this is all your need! Wear them under rubber gloves (the best waterproof gloves) when you want to keep the rain out, too!
Half Finger Bike GlovesView Half Finger Bike Gloves 1 37
Waterproof Gloves 1
BBB Hardware OvershoesView BBB Hardware Overshoes 1 240 Overshoes make an unbelievable difference to cold feet on wet days! Definitely consider taking overshoes on your cycling tour.

Reflective Trousers ClipsView Reflective Trousers Clips 1 20 Consider these reflective trouser clips to stop your trousers getting caught in your chain. Stew always wore them.

Salomon Speedcross ShoeView Salomon Speedcross Shoe 1 720 These shoes are amazingly light weight! Due to the light weight nature they're not super robust, but Stew wore these literally every single day of our bike trip and they lasted the year. Stew has bought at three three pairs of these, he loves them!

dhb Womens ShortsView dhb Womens Shorts 1 150 I absolutely love these dhb shorts. I've tried other brands, but for me, dhb are the best. I've cycled 24,000 miles in them and will always buy them. For me, the price to quality and comfort is outstanding.
Light weight socksView Light weight socks 1 58
RunderwearView Runderwear 1 If you're like me and like to wear underwear with your cycle shorts, then these are for you! They're also great for running and exercise generally because they're seamless.

Berghaus Deluge OvertrousersView Berghaus Deluge Overtrousers 1 410 Stew and I both wore these trousers. The men's trousers are way more comfortable for cycling! Women, get the men's version (find it in Stew's kit list). I was glad I switched to the men's style on the second half of the trip.
