EUROBIKE 2015 | Good Stuff for the Girls | ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine

Women’s kit in the MTB industry is going from strength to strength these days with more choice available than ever before. I was looking forward to checking out the new clothes and bikes on offer for women 2016 to see who had created rad gear for trail shredding and who had slumped into a pit of lazy design and a pink colour swatch. I’ve lined up my top ten pieces of kit I think will be big hits with the women that ride next year.

My colleagues have already touched on Giro's new line up, I especially like the look of the new Montara trail lid with deep coverage and MIPS to keep you safe. — My colleagues have already touched on Giro’s new line up, I especially like the look of the new Montara trail lid with deep coverage and MIPS to keep you safe.

This women's specific pack with back protector from Deuter seems worth a look. At 20L capacity though its pretty darn big! — This women’s specific pack with back protector from Deuter seems worth a look. At 20L capacity though its pretty darn big!

Not strictly female specific and even with my slight aversion to pink I still think the MET Parachute HES looks better for 2016 than its previous ancestors, just wish we could remove that chin guard.

Swiss band Qloom create some great looking kit, these gloves seem to have just the right amount of femininity.

Waterproof shorts from Maloja - these are on my must try list for next year! — Waterproof shorts from Maloja – these are on my must try list for next year!

A bit XC biased at the moment but with the ability to produce more relaxed fit jerseys in the future, brand ‘Primal’ caught my eye.

Located in the south of Germany and with no dealers over here in the UK we may have trouble getting hold of this Fanfiluca kit - still, looks sweet! — Located in the south of Germany and with no dealers over here in the UK we may have trouble getting hold of this Fanfiluca kit – still, looks sweet!

Last but not least - the Yeti Beti. Yeti's recently released, stunning addition to the women's market. It is a SB5c at heart just with different contact points for the ladies and shorter cranks. — Last but not least – the Yeti Beti. Yeti’s recently released, stunning addition to the women’s market.
