Tested by: Steve Rose¦£129 & £159¦www.kriega.com¦01244 280487 I ‘borrowed’ the R25 in 2005 from a colleague on another magazine. Eleven years and somewhere around 250,000 miles later I still don’t want to give it back (sorry Olly).

Tested by: John Milbank¦£19.99 to £34.99¦www.oxfordproducts.com¦01993 862300 I store my bikes in the garage, but I also use that same space for metal and wood-work. Even welding.

Tested by: John Milbank¦£169.99¦www.nevis.uk.com¦01425 478936 I was convinced I’d never find a better pair of street-style motorcycle boots than the TCX X-Blends I’ve been wearing.

And it’s around half the price of some other gear using similar technology. Textiles generally have a ‘drop-liner’ – a waterproof, breathable membrane hanging separately to the outer shell, whereas a laminated membrane is bonded to the…
