New EMTB Rider Help Required To Select Some Kit

[Clad-Hach]

Hi all,

I've recently retired and just bought a new EMTB (my first bike for over 40 years) and need some help selecting some riding gear, for starters I need a decent helmet and gloves.

As for clothing that will have to a bit as I have some weight to loose first...no point in buying twice is there.

Any help is greatly appreciated..!!!

Get yourself down to a local bike shop, Tredz or if you're lucky enough to have one near you a Decathlon. Try a load on, pick one that fits and is comfortable, the staff should be able to help you. Also things like helmets may look funky in pictures, but then look terrible when you put one on your swede. Gloves the same, ones that are comfy, different makes have slightly different sizings.
