As someone with no experience with wireless earphones, I was allowed to test the Teufel Airy TWS Pro. The packaging looks solid and clear, which gives a good first impression. The manual is available both on paper and digitally and the description is clearly arranged and logical. What is noted is that the time indications are very small and therefore slightly more difficult to read. However, you do need this information for correct use. The digital manual is a nice addition to the entire package and also a solution for the elderly reader who has difficulty with small letters and numbers.

The sound quality is very good: clear and full, with a nice balance between high and low tones. The earphones are comfortable and stay in place, even when moving.

Built for challenging rides, the Muc-Off Ride Pack is shaped by extensive rider feedback and testing. Not just for looking good, it features a modular design for a D30® back protector*. With the military 'Molle' system, attach other packs for more storage. Its roll top maximizes the 20L capacity without extra bulk, and the Climate Control system ensures cooling at key contact points. Whatever you can throw at it, our Ride Pack has you covered.

Vans have had my back since the mid-90’s and I’m honoured to launch this limited edition signature shoe. There are only 100 pairs available, so be quick! This shoe design was inspired by my art of this mouth painting. It was my first real attempt at creating something from a blank canvas. I didn’t really know how to start so I chose a fine tipped paint brush. I bit down on it with my teeth and slowly went to work. This seemed like it took forever, and it did! Learning how to control my breathing and having patience. Little by little at the pace of a snail, it slowly started to come together. After countless hours over a couple of months, I finally finished this beast of a tiger that I was actually proud of.

I worked back and forth with the designers at Vans to come up with the finished design.
