And actually it is interesting because it’s a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Even at the recent spike in electricity prices in the UK, an hour of Cardio54 usage cost just over 6p (less than a dime, Ameri-fans). Madison says a custom designed Italian pad has been made specifically for these indoor shorts by TMF.

Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? The only turbo specific clothing I have got is a Sweat Gutr Headband. Until a few years ago I didn't have that as I preferred to be outside and when I was inside I hardly sweated. But in the last couple of years my metabolism has changed and I sweat like a pig, hence the Gutr 😂 Ways of keeping corrosive sweat off your bike and the floor ought to be a priority too. Options here range from generic microfibre towel to bespoke sweat catcher with integrated smartphone window.The Shimano Climber's Jersey is breathable but not particularly lightweight, despite the name, and with its 'sports posture' cut it supplies a looser fit for riders who sit more upright – which also happens to make it great for indoor training.

The Vacmaster Cardio54 Fan is designed to enhance your training sessions with lifelike wind speeds of up to 54km per hour (33mph) for rapid cooling. The targeted, adjustable airflow helps you control your body temperature and heart rate, so you can focus on achieving that goal. With the included remote control you can cycle through 3 airflow speeds without interrupting your workout, providing just the right amount of cooling for your warmup, intervals, grand tours or cool down. Fasten the strap of the remote control to your handlebar, and it is always to hand. The Vacmaster Cardio54 is a powerful cooling system to add to your pain cave. Very stable and sturdy steel frame that provides support for notebooks, tablets and smartphones with an adjustable anti-slip, scratch-free soft rubber plate. this works grand for me. has remote with 3 settings and noise is low, well i can listen to audio books okWrangling the Cardio54 is so simple, it hardly warrants a section. But sure, I’ll throw a few words at it. it’s dog leaning out of a car window sort of airflow. The airflow is also quite directed, i.e. if it’s pointing at your face you won’t get any on your torso I've got one exactly like that and the cardio 54 is in a different league in terms of how much air it'll blow at your face. It's the nature of the air column rather than the volume. More focused and much faster. Now I have the 18" fan on the floor blowing at my legs... Rapha’s approach to the indoor training jersey is based on the fact that: “Theories abound as to what’s best to wear while training indoors.” So the British brand has gone for something that’s half baselayer, half old T-shirt. It’s a tank top with arm holes cut to make it comfortable in an on-bike position.

The second is the remote. This you can mount on your bars (via silicone strap) to control the three speed settings of the fan. Vacmaster doesn't make any claims for the remote being waterproof, so it's probably a good idea to keep it out of the sweat zone, or else cover it with a towel or plastic bag. Open mesh straps with soft binding are designed for breathability and comfort and there are silicone leg grippers to help them stay in place. We shall see if this is actually the panacea I have been looking for. Certainly my stand mounted desk fan wasn’t moving anywhere near enough air, nor was it focussed enough. This design is very focussed to the point of being quite directional but then, a static bike doesn’t really move anywhere so set it right and forget. The Nopinz Subzero Shorts are designed to offer the same cooling benefits as the Subzero Men's Suit above. They're cheaper than the suit, and they're a great option if you tend to overheat on your trainer and you're not worried about being half-dressed for your workout.
