If you're greeted by a cold but clear winter day, with clear blue skies and frost twinkling upon the ground, it's a great time to enjoy a bike ride. And it's for these days where the Women's Icon Long Sleeve Jersey comes into its own. The first thing you'll notice is the cosy thermal brushed-back fabric. Not only is it warm, insulating you nicely against colder temperatures, but it's also breathable too. You remain warm when the pace is steady but sweat is kept to a minimum when you're putting in more intense efforts. And thanks to the semi-fitted silhouette, it keeps you streamlined but still offers easy freedom of movement on the bike. Three rear pockets make space for winter cycling essentials, be it energy bars, spare tube or a rain jacket. A zippered pocket provides a secure place for keys and cash too. A silicone hem gripper provides a snug fit at the waist, even if you're in a lower, more aggressive riding position.
It's those crisp and chilly autumn rides or the first shoots of marginally milder weather in spring where the Women's Endurance Long Sleeve Jersey really makes sense. Body heat generated as you ride is trapped inside by the lightly fleeced inner face, creating insulation against a chill. Speaking of chills, the windproof chest and arm panels prevent the heat-sapping effects of windchill too. And with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) added to those panels, a light rain shower is no problem either. At the neck, the Polartec™ fleece-lined collar adds an extra level of cosiness while shaped wrist cuffs give a smooth seal against the elements. The semi-fitted cut balances streamlining with comfort and allows easy movement and a silicone gripper keeps your jersey in place. For rides stretching into the fading evening light, reflective details ensure you're made more visible to other road users. This really is a truly versatile jersey that can be layered up depending on the conditions.
Be it a camping trip by bike, exploring on foot, an e-bike adventure or urban adventures on a scooter, the Women's Grid Softshell Pants offer unrivalled do-it-all comfort. To the inside, Altura have given the Grid trousers a grid-fleece lining, trapping warmth and not letting it go. Meanwhile, the softshell outer is highly flexible, great for easy movement both on or off the bike. And it's got a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish too, shrugging off puddle splashes and light rain. Practical features include a tapered leg, preventing your trousers from catching in the chain. An adjustable waist lets you cinch in the fit for security or let it loose for a slouchier fit. Then there are zipped hand pockets, a useful place to stash away small essentials and valuables.
Lightly compressive and with plenty of flexibility, the Women's Progel Plus Waist Shorts will keep you comfortable on both your longest and shortest cycling adventures. At the waist, a highly flexible design gives a secure and comfortable fit while allowing you to breathe deeply when cycling hard. At the thighs, leg-grippers prevent your shorts from riding up. Elsewhere, the stretch mesh thigh pockets provide convenient extra storage space - an ideal spot to stash nutrition bars and gels or small tools within easy reach. Reflective details also keep you more visible as the light fades - just right for rides that stretch from dawn to dusk. Women's specific 3D Progel Plus Seat Pad Developed in partnership with Italian pad specialists Berenis, the Women's 3D Progel Plus Seat Pad features an innovative moulded design, exclusive to Altura. The design makes use of both dual-density foam and rooted gel to provide support and shock-absorbing comfort on the saddle. You'll also benefit from an anatomical shape that maintains comfort ride after ride.
This is a smaller version of Altura's larger Heritage Pannier crafted from the same 12oz waxed canvas and high-quality Rixen Kaul Vario fittings. It also has the same blend of classic style with a modern design with a wide range of features as the larger pannier but is great mounted on a rear rack for commuting or moved to a front rack with the larger pair at the rear when the thrill of adventure calls.
Built for all weather conditions, the Altura Thunderstorm City 20 Backpack is made from rugged polyester ripstop material with TPU coating, certified to an IPX6 waterproof certification. Meanwhile, helping you stay seen in low lighting conditions, the pack features reflective print panels with three light loops for enhanced visibility. The backpack features a roll-top closure system and adjustable fastenings which allow plenty of flexibility. The detachable chest trap further stabilises the fit, keeping the backpack in place during your commute.

Delivering 20L of versatile storage, the Altura Grid Travel Bag features a large zipped opening, revealing a structured main compartment with a laptop sleeve and file organiser. Meanwhile, the front of the bag is equipped with a front organiser and the sides are engineered with a bottle holder for hydration on the move. The Grid Travel Bag transforms, from a briefcase style travel bag, into a backpack with shoulder straps that can be tucked away. Keeping you cool during your ride, the bag’s back panel is engineered with an airmesh layer which allows air to circulate. Meanwhile, reflective print detailing and light loops help you stay seen in lower lighting conditions.
The Airstream Short Sleeve Jersey is an ever-popular part of Altura's warm-weather cycling range, and there's good reason for its popularity. It starts with the supremely comfortable and quick-wicking fabric used in its construction. Be it tackling a tough climb, enjoying the speed of a tailwind or taking on tough training, you'll always find it deals quickly and efficiently with perspiration. The number of seams is also kept to a minimum, removing any areas of irritation. Whether you're just starting out in cycling or you're a more experienced rider, the relaxed fit is great for all shapes, sizes and types of rider. There's space to move easily and you don't have to worry about treating yourself to that well-earned slice of cake at the cafe stop either. 3 rear pockets also provide convenient space for your cycling essentials.
Created for those of you who love to head off the beaten track, the Esker Trail Shorts are made to perform on the bike while offering a look that won't look out of place off the bike either. The durable fabric is tough enough to take on the rough and tumble of off-road trails while still remaining remarkably flexible for easy pedalling. If you're riding over damp terrain and trails, a durable water repellent finish prevents muddy splashes from soaking in. The relaxed fit delivers comfort for mountain biking, gravel riding and multi-day bikepacking trips. And with a thigh pocket, there's a handy place to stash valuables within easy reach.
Bright, fun and protective, the Kid's Airstream Cycling Gloves feature an Amara synthetic suede palm to give excellent durability, grip and protection for smaller hands. Memory foam padding is also used to soak up lumps and bumps and ease pressure where needed. The quick-wicking stretch back gives a comfortably snug fit and deals quickly with perspiration. A microfibre wipe over the thumb also helps keep brows sweat-free. A hook and loop cuff tab gives an easy to adjust fit and enables the mitts to grow with younger riders.
Take to the saddle and enjoy the smooth, flexible comfort of the Women's Progel 3 3/4 Cycling Tights. With their lightweight and breathable fabrics, they're just as comfortable as regular cycling shorts, but the extra length adds extra coverage across the knees. A mesh zone to the back of the knees also ensures plenty of pedalling comfort and extra breathability. If you're heading out on an epic ride, you'll also welcome the extra storage options offered by the thigh pockets. This makes it easy to stash smaller items within easy reach - the ideal spot for some gels or nutrition bars. Reflective detailing to the rear of the tights also makes it easier to spot you if you're starting your ride early in the day or finishing beyond sunset. Altura Progel Plus Women's Pad Developed in partnership with cycling pad experts Berenis, the Altura Progel Plus Women's Pad has been engineered to offer you superb on-the-saddle support and comfort.
