The Helicon Jacket's many pockets are a huge convenience. The lower arm zip and the inside cell phone and iPod stash spots give everything a place to go. An inside insulated layer keeps you nice and toasty and the vent zips are a great option when the weather is mild.

Electric EG1 Chrome Goggle - Chrome

Rating for this product: 5 December 16, 2005

This is my first experience with an Electric goggle and I can honestly say that the lens technology they utilize is stellar. The wide view of the goggle coupled with the orange chrome lens makes the performance of this piece top of the line. Not to mention they are sick looking too. I have yet to see these puppies fog up and I have a feeling it won't be happening.

Julbo Reflex Sunglasses

Rating for this product: 5 December 16, 2005

I have never really been a big fan of interchangeable lenses mostly due to not liking the fit. However, I do have to say that the Julbo Reflexes are the sweetest pair of interchangeable sunglasses I have yet to see. Not only do they look good, but they will also be the perfect setup when mountain biking. The superb fit of these sunglasses ensures that vision is not going to be an issue no matter what you are doing.
