Heading into winter is defined by cold windy days with the occasional snow shower - often before any real accumulation has hit the roads, where wider tires and fenders become permanent fixtures. It's the first sign of what's to come. More thermal insulation and added protection from the cold wind is key to balancing warmth with breathability. These pieces serve as the basis for most of the winter riding season and are designed to be as light and flexible as possible while providing excellent protection from the elements.
