Whether it's gradually getting milder as winter makes way for spring or as summer temperatures fade into autumn, the Ambient Thermal Jersey provides just the right amount of warmth and breathability for cycling comfort. Its four-way stretch warp-knit fabric is lightly brushed on the inside creating a cosy microclimate, keeping you comfortable in cooler temperatures. However, if you increase the tempo or face into stiff headwinds and equally stiff climbs, the excellent breathability and quick-wicking properties prevent you from getting soaked in sweat. POC give the Ambient jersey a slim fit so you're not wasting energy on the bike. However, with the 4-way stretch fabric, you'll still enjoy excellent freedom of movement. At the hem, elastic webbing, featuring a silicone print, keeps your jersey in place as you tuck into your riding position. Classic POC cycling features include three large storage pockets for all your ride essentials and reflective detailing to keep you visible as light levels drop. There's even a reflective tab in the rear left pocket with space for emergency contact info. A thoughtful touch on this versatile cycling jersey.
Advanced Protection The Aether Helmet (MIPS) is designed with a host of features to provide you with the ultimate combination of protection, fit and ventilation. First, let's look at protection. The Aether is engineered with a dual-density EPS foam liner that makes it capable of absorbing a wide range of impact energies. Meanwhile, the 6-piece outer is reinforced with a shatter-resistant AURA reinforcing arch giving a boost to structural integrity in the event of an impact. Protection is then bolstered by Giro's proprietary MIPS Spherical technology - this design sees the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System deployed between the layers of EPS foam rather than immediately next to the head which enables Giro to maintain incredible cooling airflow and comfort while offering impeccable head protection. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Cool and Comfortable So that's the protection, now let's look at ventilation and fit. As mentioned, the unique MIPS design has allowed Giro to maintain excellent airflow inside the helmets. This is fully taken advantage of with 11 very large Wind Tunnel vents over the helmet, all leading to internal channelling that forces air across the scalp. With the extensive venting, you'll enjoy a cool head even in the warmest conditions and the heat of racing. The very large and airy vents are made possible thanks to the support of the AURA reinforcing arch, maintaining structural integrity while giving scope to increase vent size. Roc-Loc® 5 fit system Now let's turn to the fit and the Roc-Loc® 5 fit system. This is the industry benchmark in comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. In addition to enhancing the fit and comfort of helmets, Roc Loc® 5 allows you to easily custom tune the fit tension and the fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand. And it’s lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury.

Giro has designed the Eclipse Spherical Helmet with a sleek and streamlined profile, tested across multiple wind angles to confirm its drag-reducing performance. However, this aero design cuts no corners when it comes to head protection. Comprehensive head protection comes via a mix of technologies, including Spherical Technology™, power by MIPS® brain protection systems, and Giro's Progressive Layering™ construction. The heart of the Eclipse is the in-mould shell, featuring a shock-dissipating EPS foam liner, protecting your head in an impact. And here the Progressive Layering™ also focuses on providing separate inner and outer layers to manage both high and low-speed impacts. To the outside, the polycarbonate shell offers a durable and tough layer to resist knocks and bumps and this coverage extends fully to the bottom for maximum coverage. Spherical Technology powered by MIPS® (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) As you'd expect, all Giro helmets are designed to not only meet but also exceed stringent safety standards. The ball and socket Spherical Technology, powered by MIPS, allows the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during a crash, ensuring you enjoy an extra level of brain-protecting technology, designed to redirect energy and provide more protection in certain impacts. This system also eliminates contact of plastic and slip planes with your skin, boosting your overall riding comfort. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Airflow Optimised When you're pushing out the watts, you'll soon be feeling the heat and building a sweat. But here the 14 Wind Tunnel™ vents deliver the airflow you need to stay cooler when a more intense pace starts to bite. Once the air is inside it's channelled over your head to boost comfort while sweaty air is expelled out the back. This cool airflow is complemented by the Ionic+™ anti-microbial padding. With its resistance to bacteria, this padding keeps you feeling fresh and prevents that itchy feeling that comes with less premium padding. Roc Loc® Air 5 System Setting the standard for ease of adjustment, stability and comfort, the Roc Loc® Air 5 System ensures you always get the right fit of your helmet. It allows for precise adjustment, with both fore-aft tilt and single-hand dial adjustment. It also allows for uncompromised airflow to your head. The design allows a smooth passage of cooling air through the vents and along the inner air channels. And it’s lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury.

In order to offer optimal wet-weather protection for your legs, the MILLE GT Thermo Rain Shell Pants use Assos' renowned windproof-waterproof NEOS Ultra. This 2-layer softshell makes use of a PU bonded membrane, providing windproof-waterproof protection. Breathability is also excellent, preventing clamminess when you're turning up the effort levels. A slightly thicker 3-layer NEOS Mild is used for the lower third of the pants, enhancing protection from cold and wet road spray. Fit to Ride To give you a smooth and comfortable fit at the waist, Assos have borrowed the smooth-wrap AZPtech waist design as found on their off-road TRAIL pants. This removes the bulk of fasteners while a silicone gripper also ensures a firm but flexible fit minus any pressure or pinching. It's also slightly taller to the back for added protection and a seamless fit with your under-layers. Hems are also raw-cut for a smooth, pressure-free fit while the knicker-length construction works well with tall rainproof overshoes. Reflective bands circling the lower leg also keep you more visible as light levels fade. Layer up with the MILLE GT Thermo Rain Shell Pants and enjoy protection from rain, road spray, biting winds and falling temperatures.
Rain doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to an indoor training session. Grab your rain gear, including the RSR Thermo Rain Shell Gloves and you’re set for a great ride. This is an upgrade to the standard neoprene rain glove and features Assos’ waterShield system to keep the rain at bay and prevent cold winds from robbing warmth. The fit of the gloves lets you use them as the basis for a complete glove system, easily accommodating inner liners to suit the prevailing weather and temperatures. Use them as a shell in more moderate conditions and add Assos’ own Spring Fall, Winter, or ULTRAZ Winter Gloves to suit. Long cuffs provide a secure fit with jerseys and jackets while also sealing out the elements. You’ll also enjoy a secure grip thanks to the silicone grip across the palms. They’re gloves you can wear year-round when the weather is not on your side.
Made from 2-layer waterShield textile, the RSR Thermo Rain Socks add a waterproof and windproof protective layer between your regular cycling socks and your cycling shoes. For wet, milder days they are best used over summer socks and as temperatures fall switch to layering them over your winter-weight socks for extra warmth. The 20cm (8 inches) cuff is high enough to completely cover your base socks, ensuring full protection. Being worn inside your shoe also removes the risk of the crankarm and chainstay rub that overshoes often suffer from. These stormproof socks give you the benefits of overshoes but without the excess bulk
Thermo by name, thermo by nature. The M Thermo Mid Socks from Gore are packed with wonderfully cosy insulation for those rides on colder mornings and evenings through the transitional months. At the same time, these aren’t socks that will allow your feet to overheat: they remain highly breathable and wick moisture away from the skin quickly. Supportive material in the bottom of the foot also helps to keep the sock in place at all times.
With the extremities often the first area to suffer when it's freezing cold, a pair of warm winter gloves is vital when you're getting out to ride during the colder months of the year. And this is where the M Windstopper Thermo Gloves come in, marrying a cosy Thermo lining and Gore® Windstopper® to lock in warmth and keep out the worst of the weather. Meanwhile, they still let your skin breathe. Whatever the weather you also want your gloves to offer a good grip of the bars, so Gore uses silicone prints to the palm and fingers to deliver confidence-inspiring grip at all times and a foam palm pad takes the sting out of rougher roads. Lastly, winter means darker mornings and evenings so reflective details boost visibility as darkness falls.
