Is excellent customer service and good value too much to ask? I don’t think so.

Are hands and feet that feel like blocks of ice during a ride or race acceptable in 2012? I don’t think so.

Is it impossible for form and functionality go hand in hand? I don’t think so.

I propose these questions to myself when searching for cycle clothing (Prendas Ciclismo when talking Spanish) accessories for my entire cycling career. Riding for a smaller professional team, alot of the time you have to search these pieces of clothing out for yourself.

I never looked further than Prendas Ciclismo (re-read the previous paragraph if you missed my non-subtle name drop, you’ll learn some Spanish.) It’s a brilliant bike clothing store based in Poole. I was looking for sponsorship and Prendas were the first company I asked. Thankfully they accepted even though they were over committed in their sponsorship, and I have a silly haircut, they still agreed to help me out. Up until this point I have only ever been a Prendas customer for non-team products. Check out my photos, and look specifically at my socks! First, look how much they sent me, then I’ll tell you about the best products!

The best of a great bunch, in my opinion are the “Air Tunnel” gloves and overshoes. The first day I wore them it was -3 degrees. Warm hands and feet. The 2nd day it was raining hard, and 3 degrees. Warm hands and feet. There’s a trend going on here! My training partner took a photo for me so I could show you just how well they are designed, style and fit wise (have a scroll down if you can’t see it). Everytime Prendas has been mentioned I have linked it to the website. If you missed it click HERE!
