So what makes the Windbreaking Performance Base Layer better than previous types of wind-blocking base layer? The answer lies in the Arrowind™ technology. Many windproof base layers use a second layer of inflexible and poorly breathable membrane material to keep the wind out - this restricts movement and causes heat and sweat build-up. Not good. Instead, Arrowind™ technology uses a single-layer wind-resistant fabric which is also remarkably breathable and flexible. You'll find Arrowind™ across the front and shoulders of the base layer, blocking up to 80 per cent of the air particles hitting your torso while maintaining the same breathability and flexibility found in warp-knitted fabrics. Meanwhile the back benefits from an ultra-breathable, high-stretch material that's quick to wick away sweat and allows humidity to escape. Polygiene® treatment is also used for all-day, everyday freshness. Its 'Wear More. Wash Less®' technology resists the build-up of odour-inducing bacteria and won't wash out. This gives freshness for the life of the garment, reduced need to wash between uses and hence an extended life span and minimises its environmental impact. The GripGrab Windbreaking Short Sleeve Base Layer allows you to leave your gilet at home and enjoy a lightweight setup on windy days.

Ride Hi-Vis Windproof Gloves These mid-weight gloves are specifically designed for the transitional seasons of the year, autumn and spring. The lightweight materials block wind, and at the same time, they're nicely breathable so you don't suffer from clammy damp hands. A moderate level of water resistance will also fend off a light shower and road spray. DoctorGel® 4 mm padding does a great job of protecting your hands and preventing numbness. And silicone prints provide a sure-grip at all times. The high-visibility fabric attracts attention in low-light. Meanwhile, reflective graphics come into their own after dark, catching the eye of other road users.

The Waterproof Knitted Thermal Gloves are a versatile option for a cool, damp autumn or spring day of cycling. The knitted fabric is lightly insulating to keep a chill off of the hands, while the membrane blocks cold wind and fends off light rain and sharp showers.

Just because it's cooler in temperature doesn't mean dealing with sweat is less important. Too much sweat equals rapid cooling and onset of the shivers. However, the two-layer construction of the Ride Thermal Short Sleeve Base Layer is quick to wick sweat off the skin and let humidity escape. The result is drier skin, no sweat-induced chills and more cycling comfort. Polygiene® treatment is also used for all-day, everyday freshness. Its 'Wear More. Wash Less®' technology resists the build-up of odour-inducing bacteria and won't wash out. This gives freshness for the life of the garment, reduced need to wash between uses and hence an extended life span and minimises its environmental impact. Whether you’re working up a sweat during pre-season intervals or looking for added insulation on a chilly autumn morning, this base layer will keep you dry and comfortable.
Ideal for cycling, but also great for running and other activities in cold conditions, the Kids Lightweight Thermal Skull Cap is not only warm but breathable too, ensuring active youngsters are always comfortable in cold weather.
