Moon Saddle
It’s about time someone came up with a new design of the traditional bike saddle. We took the saddle out for a two-hour road ride. Although it took a few minutes to get used to the fact that you are only sitting on your “sit bones,” we really noticed the difference. We’re now firm “Moonie” believers. If you are one of a number of riders who experience pain of the perineum, try this as an alternative. Moon Saddle will be exhibiting at this year’s Seattle International Bicycle Expo.$79.50. www.moonsaddle.com |

Virve Goggles
Great for changing mountain conditions, Gordini has developed what they believe is the fastest and easiest lens changing system on the market. The Virve features a convex (Toric) shaped lense with vented rims that easily snap in and out of the frame. The rims are vented to direct airflow away from the eyes and across the lens, resulting in a fog-free lense. Helmet compatible. $100. www.gordini.com |

Skins
New on the market, Skins offers endurance and competitive athletes a compression-based fabric made of lycra and Meryl microfiber. Skins are designed to fit tight which increases blood flow, while reducing lactic acid build-up immediately after sustained periods of exercise. The result: less fatigue and muscle soreness and faster recovery. Skins gear wicks away moisture and offers SPF 50+ sun protection. Available in a variety of colors and sizes for men, women and youth in bottoms and tops. $49–$99. www.skins.net |
