Mavic Hot Ride Base Layer Review + Fit

This thing is hot! I’m so sorry. I had to say it. I am extremely impressed with this base layer. Most of my base layers cost well over $100.00 Canadian and when I saw this on bikeinn.com for $62.99, I threw it into the shopping cart. Where I purchased it, I am not sponsored. I … Read more

I love base layers. I use them when I go to the gym, go out for runs, and of course when I’m cycling. I am always looking for base layers that have the best fabrics and will hopefully last me a very long time. I have 3 base layers that I have owned for 10 … Read more

My Café Du Cycliste Francine Cycling Jersey Review

If you’ve been watching my YouTube channel, you have probably figured out that I don’t mind paying a premium price for something that looks appealing to me.

Castelli Entrata Cycling Bib review

It was a restless night so I decided to read a book believe it or not. I was halfway through the first page until I smelled something. The smell was smoke coming from my lightbulb. The bulb was smoking.

A great starter bib. size medium.

I quickly grabbed the closest material to wrap my hand to remove the bulb. This ended up being my assos cycling bib. It burned the chamois. That same day, I headed to MEC and purchased the Castelli Entrata cycling bib. I should have just turned off the light.

This bib is great. Here is what I can tell you.

Pros

  • An affordable cycling bib that offers great quality and is from a reputable brand
  • the material keeps me cool during my summer rides
  • Chamois is decent
  • Straps are tight
  • Leg cuffs feel great

Cons

  • Two large logos in the back of the leg which make you look like a walking ad.

There isn’t many cons and even that isn’t that big of a deal. I think the chamois could be a bit thicker but that’s just me. The colour is great, the material is great, and if you don’t want to spend much, this is a great choice to go for.

I am 5’7 and 150lb here
Castelli does have a nice logo though.
