The top rated winter jacket, bringing warmth, breathability and a high level of rain protection along with a soft, comfortable fit. his jacket leads the way in demonstrating how a winter jacket should perform.

Cyclingnews.com says this jacket is sets an all-new benchmark in what a winter cycling jacket can achieve and it's exactly what we think the perfect winter jacket should be. We started with a list of things we didn't like about the current jackets and set out to solve them—and in the process made our best jacket ever. The first issue to resolve related to moisture management. Even the best of the currently available fabrics provide a good level of breathability but can't keep up with the sweat generated during high-intensity riding. So we invented a double-layer construction that allows you to open an outer wind-protection layer while keeping the insulation layer closed and thereby allowing airflow inside the jacket to evacuate moisture while avoiding direct contact with the skin. On a long climb we'll completely open the outer layer to allow moisture to escape, and when we start the descent we close the outer layer and are completely dry inside. It works so well that sometimes it feels like magic. New for this year is a softer, warmer 3D insulation-layer fabric that provides better warmth, moisture management and fit. Next we focused on the openings: neck, waist and, most of all, wrists. The neck comes up high and is shaped to move with you, whether you're standing or in an aero position being a January hero and attacking your mates. For the waist we've created a stretch layer with a silicone bead that lies flat and completely seals out wind without bunching or riding up. New for this year is a brand-new double-layer wrist opening with an inner layer to go under your glove that seals tight to your wrist, and an outer layer that goes over your glove so that any rain will roll down the outside of the glove and not end up inside. Of course, the ultimate jacket will also hold up well in wet conditions, so we used GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric along with waterproof seam taping on critical seams around the shoulder. Other seams are hidden out of direct water flow, and the water-repellent treatment on the fabric is sufficient to prevent most moisture from entering. We call it essentially waterproof, using our own subjective judgment to find a balance between water protection, breathability and comfort. It doesn't mean that no drop will ever come in, but we do longish rides in real rain and stay completely dry. All these features make it a favorite of our staff and most of our ambassadors, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created.

Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGAThe Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA bring you an unrivalled race-ready fit, flexibility and fast-riding aerodynamics. For cyclists seeking performance gains and ultimate comfort, these are the ones. Take the Best. And Make it Better.The original RSR S9 bib shorts took cycling performance to a new level. But never ones to sit back and relax, the team at Assos have looked for areas to improve. The EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA are now more flexible, more supportive and lighter than ever.Re-engineered fit and fabrics also ease pressure in sensitive areas while maintaining the renowned aerodynamics of its predecessor. And faster-drying fabrics prevent sweat from soaking in and adding weight. After all, every little bit of weight saving counts when you're on the bike. A combination of woven Type.701kompressor textile and Ossidia inserts give the shorts a near frictionless fit. Not only that, the ultrathin yarns are extremely elastic, allowing for superb muscle compression and flexibility, ensuring pedalling has never felt easier. Carbon Xbib ConstructionThe A-frame suspension design of the Carbon Xbib limits the vertical stretch to the back of the shorts. This provides a secure and stable position of the S9 seat pad at all times. The Dual-face Carbon material is now quicker drying, an improvement upon the previous single-sided design. Built for SpeedAs you'd expect, the S9 TARGA shorts are engineered with Assos RacingFit. This second-skin fit maximises your speed while also optimising flexibility and comfort. The leg length is also extended when compared to the Equip RS and Mille GT lines. Smooth aerodynamics extends to the leg grippers. The Assos skinGrip cuffs give compressive support across the thighs, with silicone grippers to provide a secure non-slip fit. Minimal transitional ridges between skin and shorts keep airflow smooth. A-Lock EngineeringThe A-Lock system combines Assos' rollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panel to give you shorts that fit beautifully no matter what. Whether it's high-intensity bursts of speed or long endurance efforts, this engineered design maintains superb stability as you shift weight in and out of the saddle. Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wraps the legs and back to create the ergoBox structure. This holds the S9 insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort throughout your pedal stroke and when you're shifting weight on the saddle.S9 Sundeck InsertTaking their already super-comfortable S9 insert, Assos have made improvements to make it lighter, cooler and minimise its footprint, all to enhance comfort still further. The first improvement is what Assos call the Sundeck Superlight. This is a luxuriously soft front panel that increases airflow while eliminating pressure in this most sensitive area. Then comes Assos' whirlKrater. Again this is all about airflow, with copious perforations added throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow.What hasn't changed is the odour-resistant top sheet for all-day freshness. You also retain the benefits of 9mm shock-absorbing foam, taking the buzz out of rougher roads. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation. And Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.FeaturesMaterials: 68% Polyamide, 26% Elastane, 6% PolyamideA-Lock Engineering: RollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panelImproved Carbon Xbib dual-sided construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.701kompressor - patented woven textile developed specifically forcompressive hold and second-skin comfortType.701kompressor - UPF 50+, dyed-through yarns with infused odorControl, maximum abrasion-resistance, friction reduction, hydrophobicity, and heat managementOssidia inserts - targeted stretch in sensitive areasskinGrip - Compressive leg bands and silicone grip keep the cuffs and leg panels secureRacingFit- most aggressive, most aerodynamic, most compressive, and - simply - the fastest option from AssosS9 Sundeck Insert - a supportive seat pad with improved ventilation and breathabilityLeg Length: Long Buy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Bell Full-9 Fusion MTB Helmet (MIPS)Confidence is the key to taming the trail, and nothing helps you find it quite like the Full-9 Fusion MTB Helmet from Bell, now with added MIPS for the ultimate protection.That legendary safety feature is detailed in full below, and there are plenty of other features here that make the Full-9 an absolute essential when it comes to full-face helmets. The padding, which does such a good job of dispersing energy in the event of a collision, is quick to dry with X-Static tech keeping you fresh, while the fibreglass shell is tough enough to withstand pretty much anything. Ventilation, meanwhile, comes via ten helmet vents and three brow ports to keep you cool and wick sweat away from the skin at incredible speed.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.Features:Fibreglass shellOverbrow ventilation, with an air-channel matrix for full-head breathabilityQuick-drying X-Static paddingMIPS protection includedFlying bridge visor1080 GRAMS (SIZE M)Shop all MIPS helmets - Click hereBuy Bell Protection from Chain Reaction Cycles.

POC Haven Rain JacketIncredibly light and yet offering outstanding waterproof cycling, the POC Haven Rain Jacket makes cycling in the rain, if not a pleasure, then certainly far more comfortable. When storm clouds burst it's time to seek out a safe haven from the downpour. And when you're on the bike, that protective shelter comes via the Haven Rain Jacket.Upon first pulling it on, it's likely the lack of weight that's most striking, weighing just 128 grams. However, when caught in the rain the waterproof fabric, with a 20,000mm water column rating, offers superb protection that belies the lightweight nature of the jacket. Taped seams also prevent water from seeping in over the long haul and the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish prolongs the rain protection on offer.While rain is kept out, the high degree of breathability prevents you from getting soaked from sweat on the inside too. After all, just because it's raining doesn't mean you're going to back off the high-intensity efforts. You'll also find back and underarm ventilation provides extra airflow, regulating temperature as your efforts rise and fall with the terrain.When you're battling the weather you don't want to be wasting energy. To this end, POC have cut the Haven to be as slim as possible while not restricting easy movement. Cut for road riding, you'll be able to power through the rain with minimal fabric flapping. Elasticated hem and sleeve openings also keep the jacket comfortably in place. And for dark skies, reflective details make you easy to spot when caught in the shine of headlamps.Features:Materials: 100% PolyamideLightweight mini-ripstop polyamide construction3-layer waterproof fabric with 20,000mm water columnDWR treatment further improves water resistanceTaped seamsMoisture vapour permeability (breathability) of 20,000gr/sqm/24hrOpen ventilation zones on the back and under the arms improve airflowReflective pocket cords, sleeve openings and POC logoCut for road cyclingWeight: 128gBuy POC Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
