Our staff are testing kit all the time - check out their reviews below, and of course there's always expert advice available in store ...
Nike+ Sports Band
Review by Steve: If you want something that's small, easy to use and looks great, you NEED to get this. It tells you distance, calories, stopwatch and pace, using footpod technology. As well as brilliant online features, you can set up challenges with people all over the world. To get the most out of it the best thing to do is calibrate the band with your own running style. Accuracy is not amazing but at £40 pounds you can not beat it!
Helly Hansen Frost Hoody
Review by Rebecca: Lightweight HH Lifa, and surprisingly warm hoody! Amazing as an over layer in colder weather, but also comfortable enough to wear by itself as a single layer in milder conditions.
Skins compression (long tight)
Review by Laura: Love them, not sure how much of it is in my head but my legs feel renewed when I have them on they have done wonders for my calfs. And the staff at Up & Running were very helpful.
Ronhill Pink High Viz Jacket
Very lightweight and also provides a bit more warmth and visibility when on the road. It is compatible with the Vizion L.E.D. and the pink is a bit more feminine than the traditional yellow. I'm very happy with it.
Helly Hansen E-lite shell
Review by Tim: Love this awesome shell in black and wear it or carry it along on bike outings! I've crashed wearing it and not a tear - tough material, even though it's paper thin!
