Second, it’s that great blend of warm enough but not sweat-inducing, so it’s awesome for fall days. But there are a few details that make this long-sleeve go from ‘sure, this is fine’ to ‘I freaking love this.’ First, it just fits well and doesn’t ride up when I run. I admit, I thought this was pretty ‘whatever’ when I first got it–comfortable long sleeve, great. Note: They have these in black, but I actually love the royal purple/blue ‘Astral’ color, despite my usual ‘all black all the time’ rule. I often find that for tights either slide down or feel so compressive that they’re not pleasant to run in, so these were a welcome surprise. Really, they’re a simple pair of tights that just works. They’re comfortable, they stay up, they look good, and they handle a wash/dry cycle without any issues. This is the first running tight in years that I’ve tried that I tolerate other than the lululemon Align 2 tights.

Like I said–it solved a problem I didn’t know I had! You can also run with it, though I would only do that if I was doing an easy run around town versus a full long, hard run, at which point I’d probably swap that for my Nathan vest. It’s simple looking, the silvery blue color is nice and neutral but not boring, and it’s surprisingly comfortable.

It’s bigger than your average fanny pack–2 liters–and can easily hold a big cycling water bottle plus snacks/phone/keys. Enter this sling bag, which can be worn across your chest or back (with a strap to keep it in place, or just wear it loose for easier access), or as a fanny pack. I don’t really have pockets on most of my clothing, but I don’t like wearing a full-on run pack on a hike. We hike a fair bit, and often I start carrying a water bottle, plus my phone and snacks for me and DW. This is the piece I didn’t know that I needed, to be honest. I recently checked out Janji’s women’s run tights and long sleeve run top plus their new running / hiking satchel, and I have to say, I was seriously impressed with the quality of all three pieces, especially at the price point! This is a brand you may not have heard of before, but they’ve been around for a while.

It ain't making the cover of Threads Magazine but I'm very happy with the result. Three photos from the back give you an idea: stabilizer in various states runner webbing visible. Then I jammed 10KG 9KG worth of weights in the bag and went riding :-). I reinforced the main strap with extra webbing at the stabiliser junction- the Kovac's strap is not a robust as a Kadet's - so it wouldn't fold over then tightening the stabilizer. At the bag's body the stabilizer floats on a length of 'runner' webbing sewn between the compression straps and is attached via snaps it holds the load in place without pulling it into your back and inhibiting motion. The side squeeze buckle ends are quick release and can be removed from the webbing in an instant. There's an integrated elasticated keeper on the stabilizer so it remains rolled up when removed, allowing the Kovac to cleanly function as a bum bag or carry-all. I wanted the strap and its paraphernalia to be easily removable and stowable. Here's the stabiliser strap I rigged up for my Chrome Kovac (basically a poorer cousin to your Kadet). Slings without stabilisers invariably perform poorly for cycling.
