iXS Clothing

Doing a 1,000 mile trip with this glove, with a lot of rain in Scotland. It's one of the only gloves I could find that has full armour, is waterproof, but doesn't have a thermal liner, making it suitable for summer. Initially feels stiff, but quickly shapes to your hand. The leather outer does eventually wet out and feels cold, but the water doesn't come through the inner liner. Works very well.

Of course it's the very last pair out of the ELEVEN you try on that are perfect!
These jeans are my holy grail. They look like a stylish normal pair of jeans and you can barely tell they're armoured so they'd be great for all day wear. That's not to say the armour isn't substantial though, I feel confident my knees and hips are going to be well protected.
The high rise waist isn't normally something I'm a fan of but for bike jeans is a must.
I've gone a size up from my standard dress size as I've found every single pair of bike jeans to be very snug on the thighs and bum (and I have, shall we say, "powerful" thighs) but these are spot on.
After trying 7 other brands I think I'll now be sticking with iXS. Although the Revit Victoria jeans were a nice fit too!
