Words by Cole Gregg | Photos by Emma Wooldridge I would like to say that over the years I have had many pairs of the Speed Style Gloves from Fasthouse, but that would be a lie. They last to darn long to have had multiple pairs! In all seriousness these gloves have been a long time to go for when I choose to wear finger covers. In fact I still have a pair I purchased in 2018, only this year I retired them to trail building gloves.

Devinci’s story starts back in 1987 on the Eastern Coast of Canada.

STAY WARM IN STYLE Words by Cole Gregg | Photos by Emma Wooldridge When the brand name Alpinestars comes up I can’t help but be brought back to those first moto boots I had back in 2008. Fun fact: they are still in my garage! In 2023 I started seeing a lot more MTB Athletes sporting the AStar logo, and coming into 2024 this growth seems to be continuing. Looking across Alpinestars portfolio of gear, they have a subdued yet unique design that really draws my eye.

ALL AROUND FUNWords by Cole GreggPhotos by Emma Wooldridge & Cole GreggWhen I first had the conversation about testing the new 2023 Cannondale Habit LT, I was immediately brought back to my neighborhood cul de sac circa 2004. That was the last time I rode a Cannondale, and the first MTB I swung a leg over. Thankfully bikes have come a long way since the Head Shok days, and I was stoked to spend the summer on a bike I deemed a perfect fit for my riding zones.
