So keep coming back to see what other gear your dad might just need, and if you are anything like me, maybe the gear you need as well.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong> Axiom Corker DLX Mini Tool <\/strong>(pictured above)<\/p>\n<p>Possibly the perfect fathers day gift; the Corker DLX will give your dad something extra, peace of mind. Never will he be stuck with a bottle he can\u2019t open or a bike he can\u2019t repair. This is a multi tool that can tackle almost any bicycle repair and ensure that he never gets too thirsty. Able to open beer bottles and wine bottles with ease, this antiqued brass superhero fits into any pocket and can even repair a broken chain if the need arises. \u00a0Yes, there are few things it cannot do. And when dad gets to the end of his ride, he will be the envy of his riding buddies, because he will be the only one with a bottle opener that is also a multi tool.

Inspired by a rich European cycling heritage, each pattern is an authentic, original DannyShane design. The proprietary materials, milled specifically for this collection, feature a grid texture that enhances the artistic composition of each of these singularly unique patterns.<\/p>\n<p>All DannyShane cycling jerseys are infused with bamboo white ash in every weave of fabric. This eco-friendly fiber provides natural moisture-wicking capabilities that will not irritate skin or rinse out like a chemical will. Bamboo also captures odor naturally, provides natural UV protection, offers ultra soft comfort and dries quickly. The DannyShane jersey fabric is made from 50% bamboo white ash. This makes DannyShane jerseys breathable, thermal regulating, soft and odor resistant.

The Trabec Race in-mold helmet for single track and enduro, is developed to provide the highest possible degree of protection without compromising functionality or performance. The construction is borrowed from how a skeleton is built for resistance and durability. The Aramid filament reinforced EPS core is tough and the outer PC shell is optimized with no seams at the most exposed areas. An aerodynamic channel system and 16 vent holes provides good ventilation. Compared to a traditional helmet, which sits on top rather than around your head, Trabec fits more like a skateboard helmet.
