Kaden Gryla
Designed by women, for women, this 3/4-sleeve jersey is slightly fitted but features a raglan sleeve and side panel combo that allows for ample mobility when biking. The polyester and spandex blended fabric creates a soft, smooth feel on the body. When it comes to fit, the Gryla is a smidge longer than average length, sitting just slightly below the hip flexors. Available in Steel/Persimmon and Midnight Blue/Lilac (pictured).

Tested: Boulder Denim 3.0 Jeans
Wearing jeans for mountain biking is old-school legit. But most jeans aren't super comfortable for active pursuits. Boulder Denim 3.0 Jeans are durable and breathable (and sustainable), with features purpose-built for performance. We've been wearing ours for months, and the denim is both supple and strong, surviving more than one crash without ripping. Ecomade CoolMax technology helps wick away moisture and regulate body temperature, so you're not a rolling sweatbox. Ultra-deep pockets and a reinforced crotch gusset add utility. Great for the trail and town.

Tested: Tifosi Sledge
The Tifosi Sledge is a great full-coverage option, whether you pedal road, gravel, or trails. Specs include adjustable ear and nose pieces, UVA and UVB protection, glare guard, and hydrophilic rubber to ensure grip for the heavy sweaters among us. If you're an all-weather rider, the Sledge comes with three interchangeable lenses of different tints, with vents that improved air circulation and prevented fogging on our 100-mile test ride. Perhaps best of all, for the great price, you could buy two pairs in case you drop or lose one!
