You can grant permissions in the app for data to be transferred to Strava and it did so without any problems. During my ride, the strap did not slide down or require any adjustments. Highly recommend!” Dave :)

The Manta physio-roller is designed by a professional osteopath. The roller provides a deep muscle massage to relieve tension and reduce muscle pain. This foam roller for the back has a spinal groove design for targeting hard-to-reach muscles in the lower and upper back.
Review: “I have serious degenerative back issues and have had discectomy surgery twice, this roller 100% helps me, when I roll slowly on this you can hear air being released from spine joints and feel immediately that muscles have relaxed and movement is easier. If you have ‘blocks’ in your back just get one of these.” Domingo
5. Belay Glasses for Rock Climbing
Top Pick
Use these belay glasses when climbing rocks. The glasses have the perfect angle (60°) to belay your partner. Also, they can be used with eyeglasses and sunglasses. In the package, you get a hard case with a carabiner, a neck strap, a microfiber glasses cloth, and spare screws.
Review: “It’s amazing how your brain adapts. I thought using these glasses would be weird but really as soon as you put them on you don’t even notice them — they just work. I used them for the first time on a climbing trip to Greece last week. They were excellent. The case they come in is sturdy and protects them well. I can’t fault them at all. Very happy.” N.P.D. Doyle

Review: “Back skating after a 20 yr absence, skateboarding is not like ’riding a bike’ :-) You do forget!
These are fantastic to help you with learning the technical side of a trick safely — knowing that the wheels will not roll. Great product, does exactly what it claims to, fast delivery, and a decent price — thank you.” Pete.
7. Lumos Ultra Smart Helmet | Bicycle Helmet
Top Pick
For cycling enthusiasts, this is the perfect product. With LED lights on the helmet, you will be visible from all sides.

Battery life is up to 10 hours and uses a universal USB Type-C charging cable.
Review: “Looks good and is easy to adjust for a good fit. The charging port is a USB type ‘c’ rather than proprietary. Lights are bright and have the option of flashing. The turn indicators have an audible click in the helmet so you’re very unlikely to leave them on. Very good value for increased road safety.” AM S.

Review: “I received my bottle belt wondering why it was so hard to get the bottles into the holder, but did manage! Only for me to receive another one in the post yesterday and wondering why eventually reading my messages in my inbox I got a lovely message from you explaining that it was the wrong bottle size you’d sent. I’d have been none the wiser so thank you so much for your honesty. I used this excellent belt to run the London marathon this year. There’s plenty of space in the zip pocket and it didn’t move about when running. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you.” R Malley
