This lens is also replaceable, so if you were to scratch it or damage it, you can simply replace it and off you go!

There is also an easy to use LCD screen built into the camera and a coloured light on the camera so you know what mode you are shooting in.

Superb Waterproof and Breathable quality motorcycle boots

If there was a boot I'd be happy to swap my old faithful Held Shaku boots for it would probably be these, the Held Joblin Outdry Boots. Just £139.99.

Held Joblin motorcycle touring boot available at GetGeared

• Motorcycle touring boots from Held: Leather outer
• Dual-sided ankle protection with shin protection
• Outdry waterproofing for dry feet all year
Leather motorcycle touring boots: These leather boots with textile inserts are the ideal touring companion. They're CE approved and offer great comfort and protection. Dual-sided ankle protection combined with a shin protector gives impact protection, whilst reflective detailing improves your visibility. They're easy to take on and off thanks to a wide opening and a Velcro tab offers decent adjustment.


Probably the best waterproofing in the world: The Outdry laminate membrane uses ground breaking technology to ensure that your boots are 100% waterproof. The Outdry membrane is laminated to the outer leather of the motorcycle boots. Usually in other waterproofing techniques there would be a separate membrane, it means that the rain would have to travel through the outer to the waterproof membrane and it would sit in between those two layers. That in turn means that your feet cannot breathe and they'd get cold! Outdry is laminated to the outer to ensure your feet can breathe and will be 100% dry and warm!

What We Wear- the Shark Vancore helmet

I fancied something a bit different in terms of a helmet and the Shark Vancore didn't disappoint. It looks mean, it turns heads, it looks different. But how does it perform?

The Vancore motorcycle helmet from Shark- From £209.99

I've been wearing this for about a year now. I have quite a few lids (you can never have too many!) and this is my preferred helmet unless it's very cold. Goggles will always let a bit of air around the area they sit against which can be a bit chilly in Winter. Otherwise I like this factor- nice and airy and giving the 'feel' of an open face - without the exposure. In the Vancore I feel more 'in' my surroundings, instead of 'inside' a helmet if that makes sense. 

The Goggles fit beautifully, have never fogged and offer superb vision, better vision in my opinion than via a full face visor. The interior is beautifully made and very comfortable and it's very light. I really do love wearing this helmet.

Our Official Word

• Shark Vancore helmet with 5-year warranty: Awesome
• Aerodynamic shell: Designed to fit the shape of the skull
• Connecting pocket for a quick recharge Sharktooth

Aggressive, street style helmet The Shark Vancore is a compact design, designed to fit the shape of the skull. Dubbed the full face version of the Raw, the Vancore's looks certainly set it apart.


Great features: Lightweight, weighing in at only 1250 grams for a size medium. It is equipped with a comfortable natural bamboo interior, with aeration channels and double position ventilation for good airflow. The goggles are anti fog and anti scratch and have a quick release system making them fast to unclip. There is a connecting pocket for a Sharktooth so communication is still possible with this helmet. This is a great street style to get you noticed!

Shark Vancore - we've got five different colour choices

Techy Info

• Injected thermo plastic shell

• 2 shell sizes

• Shark Easy fit glasses channels

• Micro lock buckle system

• Comfortable removable interior made of natural bamboo fibre, washable on a 30 degrees / delicates wash cycle

• Aeration channels & diffusers

• Goggles QRGS: goggle quick release system for fast unclipping

• Double blade anti-fog & anti-scratch goggles

• Aerodynamic shell: especially designed to fit the shape of the skull

• Double position ventilation

• Connecting pocket for a quick recharge Sharktooth

• Weight 1250 gms

What We Wear: Held's 'Cool Dry' Shirt

I've never tried 'temperature regulating' T-Shirts until now. In the past just regular T-shirts have sufficed, and been peeled off after many rides with the customary sweaty patches. Nice...

So, enter the Held Cool Dry T-shirt. Supposed to keep you warm in Winter and cool n' dry in Summer. RRP £18.99 (Polo version £24.99).

Enjoying the sun in the Held Cool Dry T-Shirt

I first tried the shirt out a few weeks ago when the weather was chilly. Under a hoodie. The really spooky thing was as soon as I put it on it felt warm- as it's supposed to do. Popping a hoodie on top it continued to feel warmer than a normal T-Shirt. I guess it must be able to use the body heat in a way that's more efficient than cotton.

Nice design with the Held logo on the side

Next test was riding in the sun over the last few days. OK, we still haven't reached the dizzy temperature heights of the English Summer, but it was warm enough with the black Held Sixty-Six jacket on and the Held Cool Dry T-Shirt underneath. So far so good- no sweaty patches and felt nice and comfortable all afternoon. 

The Held Cool Dry T-Shirt rear view

It's extremely comfortable to lounge around in too. Will keep you posted when (if!!) the temperatures sore ;) The T-Shirt is Cool-Dry material (100% polyester) and comes in sizes S to 3XL. It offers maximum breathability and it's main job is to regulate your body temperature.

Bonus feature: Looks very 'Race Team' or very 'Factory' as the lovely Carly from Motor Cycle Monthly Magazine commented...
