Northwave Celsius R Arctic GTX Road Shoes As a dedicated cyclist, you'll be out there getting the training hours done, no matter the weather. And if you're looking to get the miles done outside this winter, then you'll be very glad of the superb warmth and fabulous weather protection on offer with the Northwave Celsius R Arctic GTX road shoes. To keep your feet cosy and warm, the Celsius R Arctic GTX Road Shoes uses an insulating Koala Gore-Tex® membrane. With its windproof properties and lightly fleeced inner face, this will keep your feet warm even when the mercury shows temperatures creeping well below freezing point. And not only is it warm, but it's also waterproof too, fending off wet roads and sudden downpours. Wet weather protection is enhanced further by the flexible Easyfit Climaflex collar. This features a Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane to prevent water seeping inside but still allows for smooth unrestricted pedalling. Lastly, the four-layer aluminium and fleece construction of the Arctic 4layer insole provides outstanding insulation, complementing the Koala membrane perfectly. NRG Air carbon reinforced solePedalling efficiency comes by the way of the NRG Air carbon-reinforced sole. This perfectly balances the need for stiffness and pedalling efficiency with a degree of flex to add comfort across longer ride distances and rougher roads. SLW2 closure systemKeeping the fit snug and comfortable, the SLW2 closure system allows you to dial in the fit just how you like it. The micro-adjust dial gives precise control of the fit but then at the end of a ride, a single button release makes it easy to kick off your shoes. Quick. Simple, Durable. Precise. And in conjunction with the Overlap design of the upper, a great fit without pressure points is made possible. Cleat GuidanceThese Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.Features:Koala Gore-Tex® membraneRated to -10 degrees CNRG Air carbon reinforced sole (8/15 stiffness index)Reinforced toe area with anti-abrasion technologySLW2 closure systemEasyfit Climaflex collar with Gore-Tex Rattler® membraneArctic 4layer insole360 Degree visibility3-bolt cleat compatible (cleats not supplied)Buy Northwave Footwear from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

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 MIPs technology deployed between the layers of EPS foam rather than immediately next to the head which enables Giro to maintain incredible cooling airflow and comfort. What is MIPS? 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 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. The 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.
