When you’re heading off into the wilds this summer, exploring back roads and gravel byways by bike, the Women's Escape Supergiara Cycling Jersey is the ideal pick for comfort on the bike. It’s thanks to the lightweight construction that comfort levels are kept high, with the fabric also quick to wick away sweat and let your skin breathe. The fit is trim, aimed at conserving energy for the long haul, but you can still move freely as the terrain changes. When it comes to cargo capacity, the 6 rear pockets offer plenty of space for essentials. Anything not in your bar or frame back is within easy reach when wearing the Supergiara.

As more and more of us take to quiet off-road tracks, seeking an escape from increasing traffic and to get back to the simple thrill of cycling through beautiful countryside, we still want the same comfort from our off-road kit as we enjoy on road. Sportful have addressed this move towards all-surface riding with their Giara range, and here, in particular, the Women's Super Giara Bib Shorts. The cut is designed for a slightly more upright riding position and the fabric is more durable to take on trailside vegetation and come through unscathed. To give you extra load carrying capacity you'll find mesh pockets on the back of the bibs and a thigh pocket for easy access to gels and bars. This allows extra space in bar and saddlebags for more kit. The lie-flat bibs use an open mesh so you'll find that ventilation is optimised and sweat is wicked away for dryness all ride long. For on-the-saddle comfort, Sportful have turned to their exemplary Women's Total Comfort Seat Pad. With continuously variable closed-cell urethane foam of up to 18 mm thickness, it gives you the highest level of support and vibration absorption across rough terrain. Every detail of the pad has a singular focus on comfort, eliminating chafing and keeping the seat pad dry as you build up body heat. The Women's Super Giara Bib Shorts are all about the thrill of adventure and the simple enjoyment of a bike ride on new or old routes made fresh and exciting thanks to two wheels that can take you anywhere.

And should conditions improve, the gilet is light enough to roll up and stash easily in a jersey pocket or backpack. A full-length front zipper makes it easy to pull on and off as well as offering easy control of ventilation for when you want to cool down after harder pedalling efforts. A stretch trim across the bottom of the vest also keeps it in place.
