Have used these all season for early morning century starts or to squeeze in a ride at dusk. Provide great visibility for such a small size. Also like the simple attachment - very quick. By no means an every day solution - but great for those times when you don't want to be caught out without electric visibility.

I've been using the Speedez for the last year or so in Nor Cal. Given our short rainy season, these are great to slap on when the weather turns wet, then quickly put back in the drawer until the next storm. Having more than one road bike, I appreciate being able to put these quickly on whatever steed I choose for the day. Definitely recommend trimming the rubber bands that wrap around your chain-stays/fork, as they come super long. I've tried using electrical tape to secure the excess material, but finally decided to hack off the ends.

As others have mentioned, expect that these are a quick fix fender. If you need something day-in/day-out, I'd go with a more traditional fender that will provide greater stability through a more permanent attachment mechanism.

This is a great cold weather jersey. The wool fabric is simply fantastic - great soft feel and breathes well. My only wish is for more traditional back pockets, as my tendency is to over-stuff with spare tubes, food, etc,... The pockets on this jersey hold a cellphone and keys easily, but won't hold all your necessities for a long ride. Given the styling of the product, you'll likely wear this as an everyday piece beyond just for cycling purposes.

I've been watching the tour daily and have seen Cavendish, Hincapie and Armstrong wearing these, so had to give them a try. Hands down these are the best cycling glasses I've ever had. Surprisingly lightweight. The lens changing technology is flawless, making it easy to clean up after a long, sweaty ride - or simply swap lenses depending on conditions. Thinking that these will also be great for skate skiing once the snow arrives.

This is a strong performer for the money. The on/off switch is conveniently located and easily toggles between modes. To move the light from my road bike to cross bike (which have different diameter seat posts) I simply removed one of the two included layer pieces on the collar. The batteries are a smaller size, not the typical AAA.

I've been trying various 3/4 cycling pants/knickers lately and these fit the best by far. The waistband is comfortable and there's plenty of room in the legs. Once I put these on, I didn't want to take them off. Perfect for the work commute.

I bought this jacket for my wife and she loves it. Castelli clearly spent time thinking about a woman's body when they designed this product, as the cut and fit are very flattering. She received more than one compliment the first time she took it out for a spin.
