The Madison Crypto sunglasses received rare full marks by reviewer Liam earlier this year, and for good reason. They're cheap, and offer incredible performance whether you're on a road, gravel or mountain bike.

Madison says the plastic the glasses are constructed from have memory so they can flex before returning to their original shape, and the single piece lens is interchangeable and impact and scratch resistant.

They also fend off fog pretty well and provide exceptional coverage and comfort, making them easy to recommend.

A great little bit of kit for the cyclist in your life that likes to be prepared on the road is the Prestacycle Prestaratchet Go.

Awarded a 10/10 by our reviewer, Mike, it's a good jersey in the pocket solution to mid-ride mechanicals as well as being at home in the car or van for some post-ride fettling.

You get a ratchet as well as necessary bits and other tools for £30, plus a five-year warranty, which is pretty hard to beat.

A neck warmer is a nice addition to any cyclist's wardrobe, particularly for those who still venture outside during winter.

We rated the Sportful SRK Neck Warmer as a stellar choice for a reliable and stylish accessory for wintry rides. There are four other colours (including hi-vis) to choose from, too.

It provides excellent wind-blocking capabilities and proved invaluable during chilly rides for our reviewer.

Arm warmers are another staple of the year-round cyclist's wardrobe, particularly useful as they can easily be added or removed during a ride if you find the forecast was incorrect...

There are lots of different arm warmers on the market, but we like these from Velocio (even though they're a bit pricier than some other options) because they're stripped back to basics. No silicone, grippers or the like, and yet they stay put and offer a generous length.

Toe covers are a greatin-betweensolution for those whose feet run warm, or even if you want a little extra coverage over your overshoes when it's super chilly.

This option fromGalibieris pretty cheap, too at just £12.90. They come in two sizes and keep your feet warm and dry - what more could you ask for?!

Cyclists can never have too many lights, right? In case you forget to charge one, or one falls off on a bumpy road, or well, you just want to light your bike up like a Christmas tree.

The Lezyen Strip Drive 300+ LED Rear Light is a great option for under £50, with long run times and a range of powerful modes as well as solid waterproofing.

You don't need to spend a fortune on a decent track pump, as evidenced by the Topeak JoeBlow Roadie EX.

It looks great and works well, and for the money it's easy to recommend. There are a few niggles, but if the budget is tight then it's one of the best track pumps you'll find for under £50.

If you have a female cyclist in your life in need of a present, a sports bra could be something they'd appreciate, just make sure you get the right size...

This bra from SportJock offers medium support so covers sports like cycling, and also provides superb comfort and softness without chafing.

At £32 it's also pretty reasonably priced, too.

Perhaps a little bit of a niche gift to receive this Christmas, but useful nonetheless...is the Restrap Side Release Bottle Cage.

It's relatively inexpensive, yet pretty nifty and offers a great solution for those with teeny tiny frames. Or, those who run frame bags and still want access to their water bottles.

No Christmas gift guide would be complete without socks, right?!
