French online brand Ekoi has unveiled its new Competition 9 winter clothing range that comes in seven different colours with two different seat pad options.
We’ve not tried out the Competition 9 clothing yet but we do know that it’s all made in Italy and it looks, on the face of it, to offer a lot for the money.
Check out our review of Ekoi's Rainstopper arm warmers here.
The Competition 9 range comprises jackets, long sleeve jerseys and bib tights.
The jersey (£67.05, size medium was out of stock when we checked earlier today) is made from polyester with an elasticated waist band at the rear. The cuffs are Lycra and you get a shorts protection flap at the bottom of the zip. The jersey is said to be suitable for temperatures from 10-18°C, when worn with nothing over the top.
The Competition 9 Aerosoto bib tights are priced from £92.20 and you can choose between Aero Sotto and Gel padding. The more expensive Gel pad is “designed for sensitive people or long distances” while the Aero Sotto – without gel inserts – is intended to be an all-rounder.
The tights are made from Miti Lombardia Lycra and have silicone tape, zips at the ankles, and they’re said to be good down to 0°C.
The Full Dry bib tights (£134.13) have a water repellent treatment.
The standard Competition 9 thermal jacket (£100.59) wasn’t in stock when we checked, and the Competition 9 Dry Full was out of stock in the most common sizes too.
We’re checking to see whether they’re likely to be available again soon.

Um...no. Spitting is grim and there is never any excuse.
Q36.5 Gregarius Essential Bib Knickers fit the bill: 3/4 length bib tights for warm weather.
Jolly good. Only it hasn't been and it is still a public bridleway. Feel free to look it up.
"...it feels more like a £100+ jersey". It's almost as if cycling apparel is over priced.
