About Pacelane

Why sizes first

A glove that is too tight goes numb on a cold descent; one that is too loose bunches under the bar tape. A helmet that rocks on your head is no use at all. Most sizing trouble comes from the same place: a medium from one maker is a large from another, and a shoe size says little about the sock that goes over it.

So the shop starts with your measurements. Enter the ones you need once, in centimetres, and every product reads its size from its own maker's table.

What we sell

Accessories for running and riding through the cold and dark months: gloves, helmets, caps and headwear, socks and overshoes, calf sleeves and arm warmers, bottles and soft flasks, front and rear lights, and reflective vests and bands.

How sizing works here

Each product with sizes is linked to its maker's own size table. We keep the table as the maker publishes it and mark the row your measurement falls in. When you are within half a centimetre of a line, we show both sizes and say which leaves room for a layer and which is a close fit.

We do not promise that something will fit. Bodies, fabrics and preferences differ; the table and your measurement are the best guide we have, and returns are there when it is not right.

What we will not say

We will not tell you a light or a vest will keep you safe on the road. We list what the maker states, such as lumens and mounting, and leave out claims we cannot check. Product pages carry no ratings or reviews, because we do not have real ones yet.

How an order works

You can order as a guest or with an account. You pay on the secure page of our payment provider, so your card details never reach us. We ship to the United Kingdom, Germany and France and e-mail you a tracking link when your order leaves the warehouse. Unused items can be returned within 30 days of delivery.
