11spd: This week's best new bike gear

http://ift.tt/1jogQ9h

Thank your lucky stars and give the person next to you a solid high-five: it's Friday. 

At BikeRadar's US offices we are still semi-comatose from celebrating Thanksgiving, where Americans feel obliged to overindulge in food in drink. (How is this different than normal, you ask? Really it just comes down to the turkey stuffing and cranberry sauce, things you couldn't pay us to eat any other time of the year.)

Despite this, we've muddled our way through the food coma to bring you an indulgence of something much more rewarding: 11 pieces of brand new bike gear. Now give thanks, and dig in.

New road bike gear

POC AVIP Spring Jacket

Visibility is thing number two in the AVIP acronym, and the white and bright orange are intentional for safety. The AVIP Spring Jacket is windproof on the chest but decently breathable. Unlike most jackets, the AVIP doesn't have separate collar panels but instead shapes the neck with the cut and seams.

While many companies have a pocket for a smartphone, POC goes with a small pocket marked 'My Info' in bright orange, with the idea being that first responders can ID you if you have a horrible crash.
