Winter Valise
Start the new year and those good intentions in style. We handpicked a selection of products that stand out in looks, quality and their designers’ creativity and innovation. This is our Winter valise.
KOO IT
A foldable design that actually works well,
and still looking timelessly fast. KOO is Kask’s eyewear brand, which means these are skilfully made in Italy. All glasses come with excellent Zeiss lenses, to look sharp and see sharp.
POSITIVE
By working with some of the toughest sustainability certifications in the industry, Dedicated is aiming to be the positive alternative in fashion. These Swedes not only got
the right vibe, but also the right look.
SMALL BATCH RYE
Those Fins know a couple of things about drinking, and about design. Kyrö combines the best of these supposedly opposite worlds into their small batch rye gin, whose
locally foraged botanicals
evoke the fragrance and flavours of a misty Scandinavian morning.
ALPHA
Kitsbow fitted their new vest with Polartec’s Alpha fabric, developed for US Special Forces to eliminate
the need of adding or dropping layers during dynamic and static activities. A sophisticated solution for layering problems that often
plague cyclists in winter.
ANTLER UP
Granted: there’s multiple ways to start your campfire properly, but a lot of those involve a firesteel. Karesuando has you covered with this one, craftily made from a reindeer’s antler.
CNC FOR LIFE
All Thomson components are CNC machined from single blocks of aluminium,
which makes them light, sturdy, reliable and above all effortlessly cool. We firmly believe their Elite stem improves the look of any bike.
READ & RIDE
STILL magazine is an independent publication featuring inventive writing
and photography, backed up by strong type and abiding design. Based in New York and Berlin, it’s cool that their issues are also available in German.
THE KOREA
A cinematic document by Joey Schusler about three adventurers riding the Yading Kora - a pilgrimage around the base of sacred Himalayan mountains. For the locals, this journey is a holy undertaking, and those lucky enough to finish the arduous 10-day circuit hope the effort will purify a lifetime of negative karma.

SOUND OF A GOD
The Kennerton Odin is a godly planar magnetic
headphone with a realistic soundscape. Its focus on reliability and durability means no plastic was used in the production, which
was signed off on by a Russian aerospace facility.

Besides looking pretty, these Strada Bianca’s by Challenge roll smoothly over both gravel and tarmac. Proper nice tires for your winter bike then. The Italian company makes a point of constructing by hand, and share their knowledge online too.
