Why we chose the Crab Grab Champ Mitts:
The clue’s in the name: this glove is ready to take on all comers, and it’ll take a hell of a challenger to end its reign at the top.

Tech Talk
Materials, construction and features
The waffle-pattered liners are the standout feature of the Crab Grab Champ mitts; as well as being cosy, they allow air to move around, preventing the sweatbox effect.

Tester Verdict

Tristan Kennedy

“There’s a reason I’ve run these gloves day in, day out for two years. They’re ridiculously warm and comfortable for the price. The grippy palm also legitimately helps you get your tweak on (or certainly provides enough placebo effect to feel like it!). They also come in so many different colours and styles to match with your fit. No-brainer.”

This one’s a labour of love, handmade in Oregon by a team with a mission to make the best eco-friendly wax out there.
Riders who are fussy about their wax will appreciate the options on offer (warm, cold and all-temp), and the fact that it’s fully biodegradable shouldn’t go unnoticed either.

The Autumn Select Fit beanie is 100% acrylic, which combined with the medium thickness makes it a great ‘daily driver’ hat, from December to April, and from first chair to last call.

Tester Verdict

Sara Previte

“This hat is very comfortable and extremely trendy; Autumn hit the mark with their designs year after year. This quite basic hat is given a coolness with the alternating weave of colors so you get a red hat with a pop of another color in the knit.”

Tester Verdict

Kevin Frank

“Autumn makes the best touques, full stop. Great fit, exceptional build quality and material use, and classic and stylish colours! Not too much tech involved here; just a great hat. This specific model may be a bit thick to rock under a helmet though, if that’s your thing.”

Dragon DX3 Goggles 2025-2026

Dragon DX3 Goggles 2025-2026

PRICE: £60 / €71 / $75
LENS: Cylindrical
SYSTEM: Manual
SIZE: Medium
NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No

Why we chose the Dragon DX3 Goggles:
’Frameless’ was once the future, but by now it’s clear that classic-framed goggles will never die – especially when you’re looking at the more affordable price points.
With most goggles running to three figures these days, riders on a budget would be bonkers not to consider this one. A true classic, with a long record of service.

Tech Talk
Lens, frame, and straps
The lens isn’t easy to change by modern standards, but it can be done thanks to notches in the lens and anchor points in the frame. Likewise, we’ve seen better face foam, but we defy anyone not to find the Dragon DX3 goggles sitting comfortably on their face. They’re also available in a larger size, if that’s your thing.

Tester Verdict

Pat Nichols

“Price point goggles that were super effective, really comfortable. The field of vision was suitably wide, good contrast for clarity. The frame is nice and flexible for a snug fit. The bridge came up a little high in the inside of the nose, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. Hard to recommend better goggles for this price.”

Oakley Flow Scape Goggles 2025-2026

PRICE: £375 / €375 / $503
LENS: Conical
SYSTEM: Frame Lock
SIZE: Medium/Large
NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: Yes

Why we chose the Oakley Flow Scape Goggles:
Conical lenses have entered the building! It’s the first new configuration in a while, but based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s definitely been worth the wait.

Fans of bleeding-edge tech will want to try this new approach to goggles – but if you’re after something with bonus sustainability points, this one’s frame is made from bio-resin.

Tech Talk
Lens, frame, and straps
That lens isn’t just upping the field of vision – it’s pretty much guaranteed to banish distortion and fogging, largely thanks to its single-layer design. We also straight-up love Oakley’s Prizm lenses, and they come with a spare. The face foam on the Oakley Flow Scape goggles is also new, and cleverly positioned to stay out of sight.

Tester Verdict

Jim Walker

“I often find that when I wear good goggles I don’t notice them, and that’s been the bar by which I judge whether they’re good or not for a while now… However the Flow Scape has blown that method out of the water as I immediately noticed just how large the field of view was on these without major distortion. They’re absolutely amazing, super comfortable and crystal clear vision. I’d highly recommend them!”
