Cyclepro Ultra 5 in 1 multi-tool - open

Commanding the best part of 13 quid, Cyclepro's Ultra Five in One multi-tool looks overpriced and on cursory inspection indistinguishable from loads of others leaving Taiwanese factories in their millions. That said, the build quality is generally better than I've come to expect and it's certainly small and light.

Road.cc verdict:

Well made and surprisingly pleasant to use, but pricey for a tool with so few functions

dhb Sync Waterproof Jacket

The dhb Sync cycling jacket is an impressive piece of kit; a full-on waterproof and windproof outer layer, giving excellent protection against the elements. In design, it's more like a jacket for hiking or hill-walking, so may well appeal to people looking for versatility - although it has a bit of an urban flava as well, so may be useful for commuters. It also looks similar to the understated jackets from brands such as Rohan aimed at stylish world travellers.

Road.cc verdict:

Good quality, heavy-duty waterproof and windproof jacket. May appeal for expedition cycling or gentle commuting - as well as travel or general outdoor activities - but various features make it unsuitable for many road riders
