Cold damp weather has more often than not meant constantly having to layer up to stay warm on cold downhills but then having to shed layers when you have to pedal harder up the hill. Thanks to the Flexair Pro Fire Alpha Trousers that is a thing of the past. Polartec® Alpha® insulation creates the warmth you need for cold-weather mountain biking, with minimal bulk. But it offers adaptable breathability too, letting sweat easily escape as you build up the warmth from riding. Fox also deploy their TruDri® fabric to wick away sweat, while a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish fends off moisture, dirt, and debris from the trail. As you'd expect the Flexair Pro are tailored to move with you, keeping you mobile and unrestricted both uphill and downhill. Tapered legs prevent snagging and at the waist the race-ratchet closure allows precise adjustment, even on the fly. When the plunging temperatures of winter hit but you'll still be out mountain biking, you'll be more than happy to pull on the cosily warm Flexair Pro Fire Alpha Trousers.
With its Polartec® Alpha insulation, created for the demands of high-intensity exercise, the Defend Fire Alpha Jacket is all about keeping your temperature regulated. Despite its low bulk and low weight, it does a brilliant job of holding onto body heat. However, it’s also superb at preventing overheating and sweat build-up, allowing excess heat to escape as your effort levels rise and fall with the terrain. The result is greater comfort on the bike. The Defend Fire is also made to be tough. The outer is made from a durable stretch Cordura® material, more than a match for the demands of mountain biking. The stretch fit and MTB-specific cut also ensure you’re never held back from throwing your bike around the trails. And then there’s the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, shrugging off mud and water kicked up off damp trails.
Combining core comfort features alongside a retro vibe, the Merrell Alpine Sneaker is a welcome sidekick to casual days. Boasting a suede and breathable mesh upper, they are highly durable and provide ventilation to where it is needed most, while a lightweight foam midsole and EVA foam footbed provides optimum support and stability. An NXT lined footbed cover also works to prevent odour, and the sticky rubber outsole ensures a high level of grip. Plus, it has been made with recycled content to help limit harmful waste on the environment.
Come autumn, winter and spring you can face a wide range of conditions when you head out on your bike. And your efforts can range from slow and steady miles to high-intensity interval training. Here, getting your kit just right can be tricky. But this is where the Alpha ROS 2 Light Jacket excels. The Perfect Balance Achieving the perfect harmony between warmth, breathability and weather-protection is made possible via the unique double-layer construction. Inside, a Prosecco Strada inner liner, with 2nd front zip, works to move sweat off the skin and prevent you from getting wet and chilly when working hard. Meanwhile, the front of the Alpha Light uses Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150, highly breathable and windproof material with excellent water-repellency, fending off mist, drizzle and road spray. An outer zip lets you open the outer for extra ventilation while the inner can remain zipped up to keep your core protected. Meanwhile, the back uses Nano Flex Xtra Dry, with nanotechnology water-repellent finish, providing a boost to breathability and air-exchange. When the pace increases and effort levels rise you'll be happy to find you don't end up drenched in sweat. Fit and Features The advanced patterning makes for an excellent close-to-body fit, the extra stretch at the waist keeping the fit sleek while a raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you. Finished with a Castelli silicone text gripper at the waist, it keeps that jersey/jacket from riding up. Three rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes plus a front zippered pocket take care of all your storage needs. It may be called a jacket but it's so much more. For your more intense rides in wetter and changeable weather or for cool days of steady miles then the warmth, breathability and wet weather protection strike just the right balance to keep you dry and comfy all ride.
Now into its third generation, the Women's Alpha ROS 2 Jacket gets a few tweaks here and there, for example, re-engineered double layer cuffs to sit snugly both inside and outside your winter gloves. Enhanced fabrics offer increased breathability but with improved waterproofness too. Clever design details, such as seam-sealed shoulders and seams, moved out of direct water flow, shut water out yet provide ample breathability and ventilation too. Of course, it also retains all the best features that you love too, including the innovative two-layer construction. Rain Out. Warmth in. The Women's Alpha RoS 2 Jacket, just like its predecessors, makes it far easier to dress for a wide range of conditions. With the RoS (Rain or Shine) design you'll enjoy a best-in-class garment for dry, cold weather but it also offers protection should it rain. In light, but incessant rain, or a sharp rain shower there's no need to immediately have to reach for another waterproof jacket layer. The Rain or Shine system utilises Gore® INFINIUM™ Windstopper® 150 fabric for wind protection and the high breathability and effective protection required to ride in the rain. Castelli also incorporates its Alpha construction. This separates the wind/water protection layer from the insulating layer. The result is you have better control of ventilation, letting you open the outer layer while protecting your core and better moisture evaporation overall. The RoS jacket is unlike any other that allows you to ride from low-temperature conditions right through to wet and mild conditions. Performance Fit and Features Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for an excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types. A raw-edge waist that lies flat and moves with you plus the Castelli silicone text gripper at your waist keeps the jacket from riding up. 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes plus an extra pocket with waterproof zip make for a very practical jacket with plenty of storage space. For those of you seeking the ultimate in versatile all-weather, multi-season cycling protection you really need not look any further. Think of this as taking all your winter kit options and distilling it into one incredible do-it-all garment. We think you'll find it's worth every penny.

Taking their exemplary Alpha ROS 2 jacket and adding Polartec® Alpha® active insulation, the Alpha Ultimate Insulated Jacket sets a new benchmark for winter cycling jackets. If you’re serious about your winter training, it’s essential. Polartec® Alpha® Warmth without weight is made possible thanks to the Polartec® Alpha® active insulation. Created specifically for highly aerobic activities, Alpha® gives you incredible warmth while maintaining superb moisture control. As your efforts rise and fall in synchrony with the terrain, it keeps you brilliantly comfortable. Two-Layer Construction The outer layer is made from waterproof Polartec® NeoShell®. With its four-way stretch, it gives a snug but flexible fit for efficient pedalling while preventing rain from getting inside. Critical seams are taped externally to prevent water from seeping in. It’s breathable too, preventing excess sweat build-up. Separate to the outer is the insulated Alpha layer mentioned above. This features its own zipper separate from the zipper of the outer layer. This lets you choose how you want to ventilate and regulate temperature. During a climb or hard efforts open up the outer to boost airflow. This keeps you drier and sweat-free for when you zip back up for the fast downhill or you back off the pace. Performance Features All the details needed for a comfortable winter ride have been honed. A no-sew bonded waist hem gives a snug and flat fit. Anatomic cuffs work with winter gloves to fully seal out the elements. And reflective Reflex details keep you more visible in low light.
