Our box arrived yesterday from Planet Bike and inside was our new gloves and shock pump. The Shockmate is a Hi/Low suspension pump available for just under $30. The specs:

• No air leak valve release system
• Swivel hose and pump head for easy attachment
• Alloy barrel for smooth pumping action
• Easy-read industrial class gauge rated to 400 psi
• Bleeder valve for fine tuning pressure

The gloves we will also be reviewing are the Orion Gel full fingered version in size large. The specs:

• Amara palm gel padding to absorb vibration
• Stretch Terry and Spandex body with woven Lycra forchettes for a durable snug fit
• Ventilated Mesh Upper for increased cooling
• Extra large thumb Terry for maximum perspiration absorption
• Velcro closure and Airprene cuff with easy on pull tab

We will be using and reviewing this stuff in the weeks to come.
