Facing into the weather, the front and shoulders of the Women's Fiandre Light NoRain Vest are windproof. This keeps body heat inside and prevents cold winds from robbing that precious heat from you. An improved collar provides a better fit while the full-length YKK® Vislon® zip lets you control ventilation levels, depending on the intensity of your ride and the terrain you're tackling. To the back of the gilet, NoRain Light fabric lets sweat out but prevents rain showers getting in. It's high-stretch properties also gives a superb fit. Talking of stretch, the unidirectional stretch on the back also provides excellent support for the 3 rear pockets. Load them up for a day on the bike and they'll not sag. The length of the back has been extended compared to previous generations so you'll now enjoy more wheel spray protection too.
Sportful have used their race technical know-how and fabric knowledge to create a performance-orientated baggy outer short that's at home across a wide range of cycling conditions. Pedalling flexibility comes by the way of the durable 2-way stretch fabric and inner stretch panels. This also lets you move easily as you react to changes in grip and terrain. An adjustable waist, zippered fly with double button upper closure and waist gripper all take care of keeping your shorts perfectly in place too. For longer days in the saddle, you'll welcome the extra storage provided by both the 2 rear mesh pockets and mesh thigh pockets. There's no excuse to run out of food or leave essentials spares at home now. And for rides that stretch off into the fading light of evening, reflective trim catches the eye when caught in headlamps or under street lights.
If you're heading out for some dirt-road adventures, no matter what the season you're riding in it's always a good idea to have a windproof, water-resistant shell to hand, just in case the weather turns for the worse. The DR Jacket is just the garment you need to fulfil that need. The fully seam-sealed construction works with the highly water-resistant fabric to keep the rain out when rain clouds burst. And should cold headwinds blow, the windproof material prevents windchill ruining your day. Stretch panels are used to keep the fit snug but flexible, allowing easy freedom of movement on the bike. When you're off on a two-wheeled adventure you'll likely have plenty of on the bike storage, but the DR jacket adds some useful extra space for essentials. A mesh chest pocket not only serves as storage space but it can also be used as a stuff sack for the jacket. Outer mesh pockets to each side of the jacket are convenient for gels and energy bars too. And for rides that stretch beyond the sunset, reflective details keep you visible as you make your way to camp or home base.

Be it chasing QOMs, beating ride buddies to the road sign sprint or pulling hard at the head of a speeding peloton, the Women’s Evo Cycling Jersey is designed to keep you streamlined and comfortable on the bike. The Evo is made from stretch polyester, allowing for the close aerodynamic fit needed to optimise speed while still allowing you to move about your bike easily. The micro-perforations in the material also give it excellent moisture control, both wicking away sweat quickly and letting your skin breathe – it’s great at regulating temperature when you pick up the pace or the heat rises. The sleeves fit snugly to the arms, ensuring smooth airflow, and their raw cut edges give a smooth transition from jersey to skin. Of course, the EVO is practical too, the three gusseted pockets giving you plenty of space for nutrition, spares and a lightweight jacket or vest. An all-over print finishes this modern road cycling jersey in style.

As more and more of us take to quiet off-road tracks, seeking an escape from increasing traffic and to get back to the simple thrill of cycling through beautiful countryside, we still want the same comfort from our off-road kit as we enjoy on road. Sportful have addressed this move towards all-surface riding with their Giara range, and here, in particular, the Women's Super Giara Bib Shorts. The cut is designed for a slightly more upright riding position and the fabric is more durable to take on trailside vegetation and come through unscathed. To give you extra load carrying capacity you'll find mesh pockets on the back of the bibs and a thigh pocket for easy access to gels and bars. This allows extra space in bar and saddlebags for more kit. The lie-flat bibs use an open mesh so you'll find that ventilation is optimised and sweat is wicked away for dryness all ride long. For on-the-saddle comfort, Sportful have turned to their exemplary Women's Total Comfort Seat Pad. With continuously variable closed-cell urethane foam of up to 18 mm thickness, it gives you the highest level of support and vibration absorption across rough terrain. Every detail of the pad has a singular focus on comfort, eliminating chafing and keeping the seat pad dry as you build up body heat. The Women's Super Giara Bib Shorts are all about the thrill of adventure and the simple enjoyment of a bike ride on new or old routes made fresh and exciting thanks to two wheels that can take you anywhere.
Made from lightweight and breathable fabrics, the Escape Cycling Socks ensure your feet enjoy exemplary comfort when you’re pedalling in warmer weather. A high-quality 3D print also gives you an edge in the style stakes while an 18cm cuff keeps your cycling tan line crisply set just below the calf.
