AEROPRESS
This state-of-the-art coffee maker turns out expert brews on the go. Simply add the grounds, pour in the water and plunge the coffee into your mug. We’re big fans of the Aeropress at Cycling Weekly, and even took one around the Tour this year so we could get our fix wherever we were.

RAPHA INSULATED CUP
Created by Black+Blum and stamped with Rapha’s approval, this reusable stainless steel cup keeps contents hot for up to five hours. The design fits cosily into standard bottle cages, meaning you can sip something warm when you’re out in the sticks on your winter rides.

UNIVERSAL COLOURS BEANIE
Merino wool has become a staple winter material for cyclists, be that in winter base layers or socks. Universal Colours has woven the material into a snug beanie to keep you warm for those times when you’re not wearing a helmet. Available in grey, green and garish gold (pictured).
Price: £25 | www.universalcolours.com

RAPHA EXPLORE DOWN JACKET
Warm, packable, lightweight. What’s not to love? Rapha’s down jacket is one of the clothing brand’s best-selling products, and has just undergone a design update. Stow it away in your bar bag for your gravel adventures, or wear it casually when you’re walking the dog.

SUNGOD ZEPHYRS SUNGLASSES
What do Geraint Thomas, Kate Middleton and the Lionesses all have in common? They wear SunGod sunglasses, of course. You too can join the ever-growing club with these slick, boxy-looking Zephyrs shades, fully customisable on the brand’s website. We’ve gone for a timeless black and gold.
