We praised the Vaude Aqua Back Light Panniers for their exceptional lightweight design, robust waterproofing, and eco-friendly features. Weighing only 1,220g, these panniers boast a PVC-free construction and climate-neutral manufacturing, while the quick-adjustment system and compatibility with various racks mean they're likely gonna suit most bikes.

The Smith Dispatch Helmet is a commuting companion that doesn't mess around when it comes to safety and style. We awarded it with a solid 9/10 in our review, and concluded that this commuter helmet isn't just good-looking; it's loaded with features like Mips and Koroyd for top-notch protection. It weighs 357g, which not be the lightest, but boasts a rear LED and magnetic buckle adding a touch of practicality. You can't really put a price on the peace of mind this helmet offers during busy rides, which makes it a great cyclist Christmas gift.

Bone conduction headphone options are pretty abundant out there, but for cycling, we found that these OneOdio OpenRock S Open-Ear Air Conduction Sport Earbuds, are great. They offer quality sound without compromising awareness of the surroundings, and offer an exceptional battery life of 60 hours, with 19 hours from the earphones themselves and quick top-ups providing an hour of play. The touch controls may be a bit fiddly, and the case is relatively large, but the comfort, sound quality, and effective noise cancellation make them stand out in their price category. We also found that they remain comfy with a helmet on! If you know the cyclist you're buying a gift for enjoys a podcast or some motivating tunes on their cycles, then these are a great option. 

If you want your cyclist friend to unwrap the perfect cycling companion this Christmas, that might be this Poc Omne Lite helmet. it's a sleek and lightweight lid that combines comfort, excellent fit (just make sure to check the gift recipient's head size first!) and airy design. Although the price tag of £170 might seem like a festive splurge, the Omne Lite delivers lots of safety and you can't put a price on that - and with the minimalistic design, you can be quite sure this gift will be well received.

Something as practical as a track pump doesn't need to be quite as fancy as this Silca one is, but if your cycling friend appreciates engineering and style, then this is an absolutely great Christmas gift for them. It's great for both high-volume and high-pressure tyres and features a sturdy aluminium build, a hand-turned ash handle, and an attractive olive green tri-axis base. The chuck, based on Silca's award-winning Tattico mini pump design, effortlessly works with both Schrader and Presta valves. The heavy-duty 3-inch gauge, with Multi-Scale Gauge technology, ensures pinpoint accuracy, meaning that no matter if your cycling friend rides road, gravel, mountain, or fat bikes, they will always have their tyre pressures perfectly tuned.
