Silca

Gear Wipes

Great product, but overpriced

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Like most people, I use these when working on my bike. They are excellent for basically any cleaning purpose: they remove dirt, grease, and grime from threads, drivetrain parts, and basically any part of my bike. As a bonus, they smell great, leave no residue, and are safe to use on human skin. Compared to baby wipes / cheaper alternatives, these are generally very low on lint. They will sometimes get a bit cut up if using on sharp surfaces (disc brake rotors), but for a disposable cloth, it is understandable. Like many of Silca's products, it's overpriced. I could give it a 5/5 if it cost $25 or less (this is the cycling industry, after all), but $40 is a ridiculous price when a similar (but inferior) container of presoaked cleaning cloths can be bought at the grocery store for $5-8.
