Whether it’s the latest e-bike or a favourite folder bike, as you’re enjoying skipping past traffic on your way from A to B, the Nightvision Electron Women's Jacket ensures that you’re both highly visible and nicely protected from the elements. Starting with visibility, this is enhanced first and foremost by the integrated light strips that adorn the back and shoulders. Powered by a removable power bank this offers up to 24 hours of bright illumination, drawing the attention of other road users. This is complemented by Altura’s highly reflective detailing, catching the eye when caught in the shine of vehicle headlamps. Then comes the outstanding weather protection. With 10k/10k waterproof and breathability ratings, the Electron not only enjoys keeping the rain out but ensures you won’t arrive at your destination soaked in sweat either. Fleece-lined front and sides are also present, locking in warmth when temperatures edge lower. Details such as easy to adjust cuffs, stowaway hood and the relaxed fit all make the jacket great to wear on or off the bike. And there’s also handy storage via the zipped chest and side hand pockets. The Electron Powers up your commute.
With the redesign of the Progel Cycling Gloves, Altura have focused on removing seams from the area where the carpel tunnel nerves meet the bars, easing the pressure and boosting comfort. There's also an increase in Progel padding compared to previous models, soaking up bumps and vibrations from the road. The Amara suede palm is tough but flexible, the cut designed to give a more natural curve and excellent bar feel. The bonded cuff is smooth and comfortable and a towelling wipe is there for when you need to wipe your brow of sweat. Reflective details are the final touch, adding visibility as the daylight fades.
Designed to withstand the rigours of an urban commute, Altura's Grid Pannier Backpack offers great versatility, transforming from pannier to backpack when needed, and features a Rixen and Kaul Vario Hook fitting system which locks in place quick and easily, alongside a reinforced back panel that provides stability. Lightweight, durable and water repellent, the convertible bag is completed with a roll-top closure and internal organiser, ensuring it is easy to pack, while reflective details help you stand out on the road on those early mornings or late evenings.
The ProGel Plus Cycling Waist Shorts pack in plenty of cycling comfort without emptying your wallet. It starts with the use of supportive and flexible quick-wicking fabrics. These ensure greater comfort as you build up body heat and allow you easy movement in and out of the saddle. To the waist, a soft feel waistband construction keeps the shorts in place. At the thighs, the leg grippers use an internal silicone print to prevent your shorts from riding up. Subtle reflective details are also added to make it easier to spot you on rides that stretch on into the lower light of evening. 3D Progel Plus Seat Pad The Progel pad has always been a great pad. However, it's been re-engineered to make it better than ever. Rated for 4 hours or more of in-the-saddle time, it offers superb comfort and support via a combination of dual-density 14mm foam and Gel inserts. These retain their shape ride after ride. The anatomic design and flexibility allow it to move with you. And the high-wicking, microbial top-sheet keeps you dry and fresh all ride.
Made from a high-stretch fabric, the Icon Bib Short fit just right, offering light muscle compression so you feel support as you pedal.

On the larger XL and XXL sizes, extra support is offered by a higher density 120kgm3 foam, still in 11mm thickness to minimise bulk. Quick-wicking and breathable materials plus sweat absorption channels ensure sweat is dealt with quickly before discomfort sets in. And with an anatomic design, this pad offers excellent comfort and flexibility when you're pedalling.

The Grid Travel Bag transforms, from a briefcase style travel bag, into a backpack with shoulder straps that can be tucked away.

With the natural insulation and heat-regulating properties of merino wool, the Merino Liner Gloves are able to bring you comfort across a wide range of temperatures. Meanwhile, the use of polyester fibres gives a boost to sweat-wicking performance. Slip them under a waterproof outer glove and you'll benefit from extra warmth on a freezing cold and wet day. And even as you generate perspiration from cycling, the moisture-wicking and breathable nature of the gloves will prevent dampness from taking hold. On days with a chill in the air, they also serve well as an outer glove, taking the bite out of cooler temperatures but with plenty of air exchange to keep your hands sweat-free as you pick up the pace. And should the day warm, they're easily stashed away in a jersey pocket.
Having first been introduced in 1997, the Altura Chinook Backpack returns after 25 years as a re-designed and re-imagined adventure cycling pack brought up to date with modern fabrics and technologies. The bag is now made with 100% Polyester and recycled content alongside a water-resistant finish to keep the rain out and your gear dry. There is also a secure helmet carrier and a separate bladder sleeve for when you need to stay hydrated, as well as plenty of storage including bottle sleeves for those long days out. Additionally, side compression straps ensure a comfortable fit, while adjustable and removable waist and chest straps allow you to adapt this backpack to your own adventure.
It's those crisp and chilly autumn rides or the first shoots of marginally milder weather in spring where the Endurance Long Sleeve Men's 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.
The chillier cycling conditions of spring and autumn are where the Women's Airstream Long Sleeve Jersey excels. During those transitional months that bookend winter, it serves perfectly as a warming outer layer. And even during winter, you'll find it's a brilliant layering piece worn under a winter jacket. Altura have used a brushed back thermal fabric for the Airstream. The fleecy inner face of the fabric traps warm air to create an insulating barrier against the cold. But not just that, it's breathable too. This ensures you can inject some pace and intensity to your ride without being drenched in sweat when you back off the pace. A relaxed fit women's specific gives you space to move easily about your bike as well as the space to add varying weights of base layers below. A branded silicone gripper at the lower hem keeps your jersey snug around the waist. And with 3 rear pockets, you can load up with gels, spares and an emergency jacket or vest for a change in the weather.
Packing away into its own pocket, the Airstream Jacket is easy to pop in a jersey pocket, ready and waiting for when the weather turns cooler and damper. A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating shrugs off light rain, keeping you pedalling rather than running for cover. The mini-ripstop nylon construction is also highly durable. Mesh panels are deployed to ensure you don't overheat and sweat can still escape while a two-way front zipper lets you control ventilation and easily access jersey pockets. A zipped chest pocket makes space for small essentials, while also doubling as a pack-away pocket for the jacket.
