Cycling Winter Clothing – Seite 7

Warm in three layers

On the bike, winter clothing works in layers: one layer that moves sweat away from the skin, a warming layer such as a long sleeve jersey or midlayer, and a jacket on top against the wind. That way you can put on or take off layers as weather and pace change. Which layer makes sense when is explained in the layering guide for autumn and winter.

Frequently asked questions

Softshell or rain jacket in winter?

A softshell is windproof and water-repellent, breathes well and adds warmth. It suits dry, cold days. In steady rain, a rain jacket with a membrane goes over it or takes its place.

What are arm, leg and knee warmers for?

They turn a jersey and cycling shorts into an autumn outfit. On in the morning, in the jersey pocket at midday. Especially in the changing seasons, they save you a second set of clothing.

How do I wash winter clothing?

With little detergent, without fabric softener and with zips closed. How to care for softshells and membranes is explained in the washing guide.
