One thing you always use while cycling is socks. Mantel's own cycling socks are classic and comfortable, and are made primarily from cotton. The elastic cuffs prevent them from slipping down during a ride. A great gift!
Are your shoes no longer as white as when you first started cycling? Dynamic Touch-Up not only makes them white again but also leaves a protective, nourishing layer. Its convenient size and built-in sponge make it easy to use anywhere.
During the cold months, to be able to cycle comfortably it is important to dress properly. With the GripGrab Ride Windproof Winter cycling gloves, your hands will stay warm thanks to their insulating, windproof and water-repellent design. The long knitted cuffs also provide comfort and extra insulation around the wrists.
The Rogelli Solid Scarf can be worn in different ways and is perfect to use on any bike ride to stay warm. If temperatures rise during the ride, you can easily stow the lightweight Solid Scarf in a back pocket. It is both breathable and insulating to give you just the right amount of warmth. A wonderful gift for the holidays!

Lieke Bonsma
I have been very active in endurance sports for a number of years now. It started with running and quickly expanded to cycling. I love being able to see so much when I'm on my bike. From trips to the dunes when I still lived in Rotterdam, to rides through the woods and across the heathland of the Veluwe. My passion for cycling and my work at Mantel are, of course, a fantastic combination!
