Christmas Gift Guide 2021

No matter how hard you try to ignore it, Christmas is well and truly on its way. And as much as you might want to wait until Christmas Eve to head to the petrol station for some last-minute presents, there's nothing like being prepared to avoid disappointment either for yourself or for your loved ones. 

 

A fellow Yorkshire based brand, OTE Sports has been fuelling some of the top athletes for several years. From protein bars to energy gels, there’s something for everyone to try. Their hydro tabs especially make great stocking fillers at under £10. And just in time for Christmas, we're collaborating with OTE to give our customers an exclusive 20% off their entire range on Amazon. Simply enter code VELOSKIN at checkout*. Click here to visit their store.

 

And if sticking at £10 or below is key, perhaps for a secret Santa, we have a couple of things you could choose from. Our starter pack, for example, includes a VeloSkin bidon and three sachets (including Chamois Cream, Recovery Gel and Moisturiser). It's a great way to try some of our most popular products before committing to a full-sized tin and makes the ideal stocking filler for the discerning cyclist in your life. 

 

Well-known for their high-end cycling kit, Le Col has become a staple in many a fashionable cyclist's wardrobes over the last couple of years. In fact, our own custom kit is made by them! As riders who want to stay outside as long as we can before retreating to the turbo, we like the look of the Arm & Leg Warmers Bundle, which saves 15% compared to buying the items separately, and is music to our frugal Yorkshire ears.

 

Whether it's protecting your eyes from the sun, or the spray being kicked up off the road in winter, sunglasses are key to cycling comfortably all year round. SunGod sunglasses are used by some of the best in the business, and for good reason. Their Pace series is designed especially for cycling, and features superb clarity lenses and a choice of frame shape.

 

 

Inner tubes. They may not be the most flash present in the world, but that’s because you haven’t been given Tubolito tubes. Made with the same puncture resistance of butyl tubes but with less of the weight (up to 70g per wheel on the road bike variations), these compact tubes make perfect sense for the weight-conscious rider. They even come in variations for different bikes, whether you're a mountain biker, a roadie, or a commuter. And did we mention they're orange?
