Cycling Layer Up We’ve got you covered with a wide variety of base layers, mid layers and outer layers designed to help you take on the challenge no matter the weather so that you can stay active all year long.

LAYER

UP

Winter in South Africa means something different to you depending on where you live in the country. Layering up is one way to stay warm and be ready for any changes in the conditions Mother Nature decides to throw at you. When building your outfit, think in three layers; a base layer, mid-layer and outer layer. The right combination of these layers will have you riding through winter regardless of the temperatures. 

Pro Tip:

A pre and post-ride coffee come highly recommended to help to add that extra layer of warmth inside during the depth of winter.

BASELAYERS

BASELAYERS

FROM THE BASE UP

The most underrated garment that you can add to your outfit on a chilly ride. These bottom layers are the unsung heroes of winter, they work overtime to regulate your core temperature by wicking sweat away from your body keeping you dry and warm. Our favourite base layer for winter riding is the Heatshield, available in a vest or long sleeve option. This base layer is so comfortable you may even find yourself pairing it with office attire during the week.

MIDLAYERS

TRAP THE WARMTH INSIDE

A mid-layer is exactly that, a middle layer. This layer can become your outer layer if the weather changes during your ride and you peel off your windbreaker. What you wear as your mid-layer is completely up to you.  A short sleeve jersey, a long sleeve jersey or even a thermal jersey: it’s your call. A good choice is something with wicking properties so that you won’t end up sweaty and cold.

OUTERLAYERS

OUTERLAYERS

TACKLE THE WEATHER

This outer layer is a game-changer for increasing the warmth of an outfit and keeping the cold out.  Typically these layers are lightweight and can be put on or taken off as the conditions change. Choose between a gilet or a jacket, waterproof or windproof. Zip this layer up on a chilly descent or open it up as you chase the pack up a climb. These layers also make great superhero capes and are guaranteed to make you feel faster when flying about in the wind.

ACCESSORIES

ADD WARMTH

Additional items like a pair of fleece-lined gloves or toe covers can make a big difference to your comfort when the temperatures get low. A neck gaiter that can be pulled up over your nose or a pair of toe caps over your shoes to protect you from the icy wind when you’re moving will keep your extremities warm. These accessories can also easily be removed if you get hot during a ride and packed into your pocket.
