dhb Classic Thermal Softshell Jacket | 1 | 480 | Another great product from dhb! Stew especially loves this softshell jacket. He still wears it often, he wore it a lot when we were cycling the world. Stew's owned his jacket for five years and it's still used today. |
|
|
Rab Ultra Light T-Shirt | 1 | 91 | 1 Carried, 1 Worn |
|

dhb Fleece Leggings | 1 | 240 | Loved these fleece leggings, but we did only take them on the first half of our tour. |

Endura Padded Shorts | 1 | 150 | These are Stew's go-to cycling shorts, he loves them and wore them for the entire 24,000 of our world cycling tour. |
|
|
Light weight socks | 1 | 58 | |
|
|
DexShell Waterproof Biking Socks | 1 | 82 | I wore these socks with sandals in torrential rain and walked from the hotel to a restaurant. My feet were dry on arrival. See our review here |

|
|
Rab Lightweight Boxer Shorts | 1 | 58 | |
|
|
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. See our review here |
|
|
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 Jacket | 1 | We loved these Rab jackets. We bought at least two of these each over about seven years! See our review here |
|
|
|
Berghaus Deluge Overtrousers | 1 | 460 | We both loved these trousers and wore them throughout the entire trip. See our review here |
|
|
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 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 Gloves | 1 | 37 | |
| Waterproof Gloves | 1 | |||
|
|
BBB Hardware Overshoes | 1 | 240 | Overshoes make an unbelievable difference to cold feet on wet days! Definitely consider taking overshoes on your cycling tour. See our review here |

Reflective Trousers Clips | 1 | 20 | Consider these reflective trouser clips to stop your trousers getting caught in your chain. Stew always wore them. See our review here |
|
|
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 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 socks | 1 | 58 | |
|
|
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 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. See our review here |
