Sweet Protection – First Look
Sweet Protection are a Norwegian brand with a seriously tech line of biking gear, we check out some of their latest line up.
Sweet are already well known to kayakers and skiers, and through riders such as Tracy Mosley their presence in the UK is growing year on year. First up an outfit for the women shredders.
The Colchuck jersey is a light and silky feeling top with a fitted but not overly fitted cut. The graphics are bold and not as girly as some women’s options, though still adhering to the unwritten rules ow ladies outdoor kit, purples,blues, pastels! RRP64.99
We’ve paired the Colchuck with the Gasolina shorts. With a stretchy and water repellent fabric, as well as a relaxed cut and a zippable pocket they look like they will be a great all day short that doesn’t look too technical for the post ride pint. RRP£79.99
The Chiwaukum T shirt is a similar techy fabric that feels light to the touch, the strap line “fast and light” proving apt. A bold logo and simple colourways again mean you can enjoy a pint without turning too many heads, and thanks to the antibacterial treatment, the noses won’t be twitching either. RRP £39.99
The Mudride short is one of the most technical pair of shorts we’ve seen for some time. Fully waterproof, breathable and well fitted these are designed to feel like your normal riding gear while keeping you back end dry. They also feature two huge vents, two thigh pockets and draw cords on the knees to rock the MC Hammer look, or tighten up against a turn in the weather. As big fans of a proper filthy ride these look superb winter wear. RRP£129.99
