The cold is here to stay for a few months. We don’t know whether you handle it well or not, or what kind of weather you usually face when you head out for a ride but one thing’s for sure: no one likes being cold on the bike. It’s not a pleasant feeling, especially when you’re soaked in sweat and the cold wind starts to cut through you.
“I should’ve dressed warmer,” “this cold is unreal,” “I’m not riding again in this weather”... we’re pretty sure you’ve thought or said something like this when the cold has frozen your body and left your feet and hands numb on the bike.
Luckily, you can avoid this by wearing the right cycling gear for every situation. You’ll find all the key tips in this blog article where we show you how to dress for winter cycling.
At Eltin, we won’t let the cold stop you or become an excuse to stop pedalling. That’s why we’ve combined cutting-edge technology with our passion for cycling to create two essential pieces that no cyclist’s wardrobe should be without: a jacket and a vest.
The cycling jacket is an essential piece of kit for riding through the winter months. While in autumn and spring, with milder temperatures, you can often get away with two layers (thermal base and jersey, jersey and arm warmers...), in winter, when the temperatures drop, it’s crucial to add a jacket that protects you from the cold and damp while keeping your body heat in.
Not just any jacket will do even if it’s a mountain jacket or designed for very low temperatures. It needs to be a cycling-specific jacket, as these are built to provide the dual function of shielding you from the cold while wicking away sweat. They also guarantee comfort on the bike and are designed with your riding position in mind.
At Eltin, we’ve been looking forward to introducing our new Malefic jacket. It’s finally here and we couldn’t be happier with the result.
All these features come together to create the Eltin Malefic Jacket a unisex garment available in 2 colour combinations: grey/black/fluorescent yellow and grey/black/red. Stylish and easy to pair with your kit, these jackets feature high-visibility details in fluorescent yellow or red and reflective elements to help you stay visible an essential factor for road safety.
The cycling vest is a versatile garment for many situations an essential piece you should always have on hand, no matter the season. When the temperature is pleasant but there’s a bit of wind, it’s the perfect solution to throw on during descents to minimise the wind chill on your sweat-soaked body. During milder seasons, it may be all you need to block out the wind and cold, paired with arm warmers, a thermal base layer, or a long-sleeve jersey. And when the temperatures drop and you need an extra layer, it boosts your protection and comfort.
At Eltin, we know just how important a cycling vest can be and with our Electric model, we’ve packed in all the key features you should expect from one.
All these features come together to create the Eltin Electric cycling vest a unisex garment available in 3 colours: fluorescent yellow, black, and olive green. Choose your favourite style and start enjoying the comfort and functionality it brings to every ride.
At Eltin, nothing makes us happier than seeing our products help you keep enjoying cycling. Watching riders like you out on the road, equipped with our jackets and vests, riding comfortably and staying protected that’s the goal we had in mind from the very start of the design process.
