"Couldn't fit my Crud2 on to my BMC as no clearance so went for the Swan, really like how easy it was to fit, it keep's the muck and filth of your back.
Really surprised by the quality and doesn't obstruct my rear light either.

If your in two mind's getting a mudguard and you commute I would highly recommend getting one, its amazing how much dryer you stay and when you do get wet your not covered in road filth."

"First day back commuting and got a puncture on the way home, could not believe how fast this inflated my tyre literally 2 seconds.
Never used one of these before and it was dark but just twisted on then slowly untwist to releases the CO2 and job done...now just need to get a replacement!"

"This is great on those the cold winter rides, my ears and nice and warm and it never feels too hot!
I previously got a balaclava for the really cold mornings but found it quote styfling after about 15mins and always ended up pulling it down, so asked Santa for one of these.
I totally recommend this its great quality feels unobtrusive under the crash helmet, ears have a thicker layer keeping them toasty warm."

"Originally went for the DHB over shoes but they were sold out until next year so was advised to get these from Wiggle and so glad i've got them now.
They are easy to put on, well built and most of all they are nice and warm (i've gone down to about -2 so far with no problems) and have keep my feet dry so far.
I just wish I'd got a pair of these sooner. Highly Recommended!"

"After using this balaclava I wondered how I managed without it, its snug & warm without being suffocating.
Its surprising how much benefit it gives you on a cold day, i'm guessing where im loosing less heat from my head my legs are keeping slightly warmer...strange!
Totally recommended of you are ridding through the winter."

"Awesome little light packs a big punch, only let down but the bracket, the light keeps moving out of position, why can they use the tried and tested rubber band system the clamp bracket provided is a real shame.
The light it self is amazingly bright and have noticed a real difference in the behaviour of road traffic now giving me a wide birth."

"Now the weathers starting to change I decided to get a long sleeve with wind proofing, love the DHB brand as quality is usually top notch.
This jersey in no exception, warm cosy, and fits like a glove.

For reference, i'm 30inch waist 39inch chest and im 5'9" a Medium fits perfectly.
I use mine every day with a rucksack (Commuting) and have notice piling as some others have mentioned.
Could have ale done with more reflective marking on sleeves but overall i'm completely happy with this garment and feel confident it will see me through the winter."

wiggy1977's Questions
Featuring the forgiving ride of our internally butted Superlite tubing, the F95 brings the F's sharp handling and responsive feel to an incredibly value-packed bike. With its durable but lightweight components few bikes offer as much as the F95.
What's the weight?
Just need to get an idea of the total weight please?

Washing instructions
Just bought Vaeon Zeros and instructions say to wash with a "neutral, non-aggressive detergent". Er, what is that in man-speak? Will normal Persil/Ariel be OK?

Sizing?? 5'7", 158lbs.
I'm 5'7", 158lbs (11st 4lbs# with a chest size of 37" and waist of 33".
My current tights #cannondales) are not bibs with waist of 29" in size medium. These fit well except they are a little too long.
Any help on sizing would be great.

Hi Guys, I have now made my purchase and got the medium size and its a perfect fit, it's one of the best garments I have ever purchased, it's great for winter and have ridden down to about 1 deg with just a base layer.
