Three Conditions. One Goal.
Winter Kits For Whatever Winter You Get
Winter howls past the coastlines, saturates the hillsides, and frosts the valleys. As riders, we don’t choose the winter we get, but we can choose to face it. We’ve picked winter layers to match the cool, the cold, and the wet, so whatever your forecast brings, you don’t have to wait for it to pass.

Cool Weather Kits
Layers For 50+ Degrees
In places like California’s coastline, winter can be mild. If your rides take place in 50+ degrees, we recommend grabbing lightweight and easy-to-shed layers. These thermal jerseys, vests, and warmers keep you insulated for basemiles but cool enough not to overheat on fast-paced weekend group rides.

Cold Weather Kits
Layers For Below 50 Degrees
Full thermals and extra protective layers are a must if your winter is cold and often hovers at or below freezing. You’ll likely encounter rain, sleet, or snow on some of your rides, so we picked styles that seal out wind, water, and the cold.

Wet Weather Kits
Layers For Rain, Sleet & Snow
Wet weather is extra harsh in winter, and maintaining your core temp (not to mention extremities) is top-of-mind. From lightweight shells to weather-resistant layers that offer protection from the cold, these are the caps, gloves, booties, jackets, and tights we recommend if you ride through the worst weather.
