Joking about the weather may be a national pastime in the UK, but what is unique about these islands is that we do have the most unstable weather in the world. Therefore, although it is great to have a kit made by enthusiasts in California or Catalonia, no one knows what British cyclists need better than other British cyclists. This means that no one knows better than Altura.
With decades of experience in manufacturing the most valued bicycle products, and all of these products are designed in the UK, the elements of Alturaâ???? products are exactly the same as those faced by British riders on bicycles. Altura said that each of its products stems from some specific needs: perfect functions, encouraging riders to further push themselves on greater comfort and higher safety.
Once the basic elements are in place, Altura’s designers can use their own experience to adjust and refine the details, whether it is to install additional pockets for convenience, or add alternative fastening designs to improve comfort, Â use a proprietary weave to provide more High breathability or better fit, and even approach specific clothing designs from a new direction.
This concept has produced some market-leading clothing, and with the arrival of the brand’s 25th anniversary in 2022, it has placed Altura products on the feet, hands, arms, legs and backs of hundreds of thousands of British riders. Therefore, no matter what type of ride you are doing, Altura can provide you with the perfect gear-???? With cold days following closely, will you find it? ? It has never been so popular as it is now.
When it comes to effective bicycle clothing choices, one word sums up the perfect method: layering. By adding and removing layers, you can adjust for cold mornings, warm afternoons, gusts of wind and rain, and even self-generated heat and humidity.
1. Let’s start with the basic layer. For winter riding, long-sleeved warm base layer ???? For example, Altura’s Merino 50 Unisex Baselayer ???? is a good choice. Then you can add layers on top to fit.
2. For the legs, full-length tights â????? is the best choice for heat, such as Alturaâ??s Icon or Progel Plus tights?? will handle ultra-low temperature. For milder and changeable weather, leg warmers can flexibly add or remove protection.
3. Similarly, the arm warmer is good on days when it is cold at first but will definitely warm up in the future. On cold days, a long-sleeved sweatshirt, such as the Icon long-sleeved sweatshirt, will add another effective barrier to the cold.
4. An insulated but breathable soft shell jacket like Endurance Mistral provides the most important ability to withstand cold temperatures for the entire upper body.
5. Even if you-starting on a good day, it is wise to bring a lightweight, foldable waterproof and windproof jacket in case the situation gets worse.
6. If the weather has been bad from the beginning, or you know it is due to deterioration, a stronger winter jacket will be better. Remember to make sure it provides maximum breathability, so you don’t overheat or get damp!
7. Modern riding helmets provide very effective airflow, which is good in summer, but not very popular in cold winter mornings. Wear a head cap to keep your head warm.
8. Don’t forget the area around your neck and collar? ? ? ? The scarf will provide good protection.
9. There is no pain in riding a bicycle like cold feet. You can buy special winter cycling boots, although most riders use overshoes. But for the ultimate experience of dry feet, wear waterproof socks.
10. Wear full-finger, insulated gloves â???? such as Alturaâ????s Polartec gloves???? At the coldest temperature. Â
11. Finally, protect your eyes. Low sun altitude and stinging wind and rain can affect eye comfort, and sprayed road cleaners may contain grit, salt, and debris, so now biking glasses are usually more important than summer.
Wet, drenched and cold feet are one of your most painful experiences while riding a bicycle. However, Altura gave a comprehensive answer. No matter how effective your shoes or overshoes are, these soft and seamless waterproof socks-with Rainguard membrane-???? will keep your toes comfortable and dry when the sky opens.

Add reflective details and hot-brushed back fabric, and you have a winter wardrobe hero.
The neck and upper chest area are the main areas where people feel their presence in cold conditions, but there is a super simple answer. Alturaâ????’s merino wool blend neck warm scarf provides wide coverage to resist the cold, while its merino wool elements provide greater comfort and help wick away perspiration.

Winter gear may need to be practical, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Icon long-sleeved cycling jerseys are suitable for male and female riders. Both versions feature a semi-fitting design concept, insulated Polartec Powergrid wool, reflective details, convenient pockets and exciting bold styling.

Manual Neuer, Virgil van Bike, Saddle-o Mané… I will be back with the rest of my five-man team later.
Thank you for the information, it is very interesting. The maximum sentence may be the same, but are the sentences for the two crimes similar? I suspect it is not, but it can…
Like many of us here, I also drive. Last Sunday, I drove my Volkswagen Passat and took my Labrador for a long walk in the forest. The sun is really bright. . .
