As we all know, it’s during those cold, wet months of winter where the foundations of summer cycling success are laid. And that means cycling in the foulest of weather conditions. This is where you’ll be very glad of the superb protection offered by the Pro SL Waterproof Shell Jacket. The lightweight ExoShell60SL™ 3-Layer and fully seam-sealed construction offer impressive rain protection, rated to 20,000mm for waterproofing. A water-repellent coating also slows down wetting out of your jacket, ensuring greater comfort. When you’re racking up the wet-weather miles, you’ll also be more than impressed by the incredible breathability, rated to 60000g/m2/24hr. Consequently, pedalling hard into a stiff headwind or hitting high watts on hills won’t leave you soaked in sweat. Protection inside and out. Attention to detail is first-class. A two-way front zipper makes for easy control of ventilation and easy access to jersey pockets below your jacket. A high cut collar is shaped to cut out drafts and lessen water ingress. There are also external gel/trash pockets for convenience. The fit is slim, preventing flapping and ensuring precious watts are saved for that final push for home.
Why let the rain stop your mountain biking fun. The Enduro Hardshell Cycling Jacket uses Northwave's H20 membrane to keep rain from getting in. Rated to 10,000 mm of waterproof protection, this keeps you drier for longer when storm clouds burst. Fully taped seams also prevent water seepage while the outer also features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to prevent wetting out of the jacket surface and fends of muddy splashes too. A waterproof front zipper also provides a secure seal against the elements. When it comes to mountain biking you can soon build up some body heat. But with the underarm vents, you can easily keep in control of ventilation. Zip them open to dump heat and boost breathability on a climb. Zip them closed when you're facing into the rain or need extra protection on the downhills. Should conditions take a real turn for the worse, the adjustable hood is helmet compatible so adds extra protection when needed. Lastly, a waterproof chest pocket makes space to stash some essentials within easy reach.
Training in wet and windy weather is as much about keeping sweat-free as it is about keeping the elements out. In both respects, the Chrono Pro Neoshell® Jacket really excels and this is thanks to the remarkable Polartec® Neoshell® fabric. Both windproof and waterproof, this fabric won't let you down when the rain begins to fall but thanks to the air-permeable membrane it lets your skin breathe, leaving you dry and comfortable even during the hardest of cycling efforts. With waterproof zippers and a fully seam-sealed construction water is unable to seep inside either. Tailored with a close to the body fit, the Chrono Pro is also efficient through the air, ensuring no energy is wasted on your long autumn and winter rides. As shorter days and darker mornings and evenings arrive you'll also benefit from the genuine 3M Reflective highlights, enhancing visibility as darkness falls while a chest pocket provides convenient storage.
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.
If you're lucky enough to live somewhere with milder winters or you're planning a cool weather training session with varying levels of effort, the Neo Softshell Jacket could well be your perfect choice. Softshell fabric is used across the front and for the sleeves to provide protection from the harshness of cold winds and at the same time to fend off damp, drizzly, misty weather conditions. Meanwhile, the rest of the jacket is made with a luxuriously comfortable brushed polyester. This not only optimises warmth but it's also exceptionally breathable too. By preventing sweat pooling on your skin when you're undertaking more intense bouts of riding you'll remain more comfortable when you back off the pressure on the pedals. And to keep you fueled up, a total of five pockets makes space for nutrition as well as all your cycling spares.
