It's that time of the week again when BikeRadar staff in various corners of the globe can be found frantically ripping open packages, emptying components from desk drawers and asking photogenic colleagues to get their best model face on and slip into this Lycra please.
Yes, it's Friday and that can only mean 11spd, our round-up of the tastiest cycling kit to land in our laps, this week brought to you as a little slice of Anglo-Australian harmony courtesy of our Bristol and Sydney offices.
New mountain bike gear
Dog and Bone Wetsuit Direct Touch phone case
ADVERTISEMENT
Waterproof and impact resistant phone cases have been around for a while and in recent years they’ve become much less bulky and easier to use, but they all have the same problem. The current crop have built in screen protectors which are needed to keep water and dust out, but when you’ve got mountain bike gloves on they're damn near impossible to use.
Aussie outfit Dog and Bone has just released the "WORLD'S FIRST (sic) topless waterproof mobile phone case”. Basically this case forgoes the built in screen protector for an o-ring that creates a seal directly on your phone’s screen for ultimate touchscreen sensitivity.
We haven’t tested the waterproofing yet, but Dog and Bone claim the Wetsuit Direct Touch carries an water and dust ingress protection rating of IP68 (the highest on the scale) and can withstand drops to 2m (6.6ft).
