1. Garmin
2. Optilabs glasses with reaction lenses
3. Lezyne front light for night rides.
I'm a cheap and cheerful kind of chap in just about every regard, but outside of bike purchases these three are by far the most expensive cycling things I've bought to date.
It's not the cost though, it's the freedom they give my cycling. Exploring new places without the faff of maps, being able to go out in winter safely when the kids are in bed, and being able to see properly

1. My bike - Jamis Komodo Pro 2016.
It's a hardtail that pissed off the MBR reviewer immensely as it wasn't a full suss with plus tyres costing £3k, so he got all whiny and wimpy about it "oh mummy I can feel little stones beneath the wheels.. bleat ... bleat... bleat..."
2. Camelbak - Had it for 12 years and never a complaint.
3. Specialized Rockhopper MTB shoes - Body geometry stuff actually made a difference for me and these babies take everything thrown at them. In fact I don't know what to replace them with! Great with Sealskinz socks.
