For all intents and purposes, winter has certainly arrived here in Scotland. And where better to test and develop a winter riding kit? That’s what Endura is doing. Here we give a quick introduction to some of the new kits coming out of their HQ near Edinburgh.

Also on the menu are some cool new men’s technical flannels from Club Ride Apparel, a high-end waterproof jacket from Showers Pass, and a range of winter riding kit for all shapes and sizes from the guys at Aero Tech Designs.

Endura Windchill Jacket II

The Endura Windchill Jacket II is designed to provide solid shelter from the wind so should be the perfect partner for blustery rides. It is made from stretch, windproof thermal grid-backed fabric throughout for added warmth for the winter months.

This Endura windproof is cut in a road, gravel or trail friendly fit and offers a few pockets including one zippered to carry the ride essentials. Large, zipped underarm vents let the rider regulate temperature on the fly. A silicone grip hem prevents the garment from riding up.

Reflective trims increase visibility. Get it in high-viz yellow and grey for the darkening commute, bold rust red, or a subtle black and grey colorway for £89.99. Men’s and women’s cuts are available in sizes S-XXXL. Just for men, there’s also a gilet version for core body wind protection; the Windchill Gilet II. Get it for £64.99.

Endura Windchill Bibtights II

The Windchill Bibtights II employs a combination of windproof panels on the front and brushed back thermal fabrics on the back. So, you’re buffered from the wind at the front while the material at the back is better for moisture management.

Aero Tech Designs 2020/2021 Winter Kit

The guys at Aero Tech Designs have created a winter cycling collection fit for a very wide range of body shapes and sizes. 

“We have always understood that not all cyclists come in the same shape or size. One of our main values is our commitment to providing quality cycling apparel to all cyclists; no matter if you are an XS or you are a 5XL! We are also proud that 100% of our products are designed in the USA and 85% are manufactured at our factory right here in Pittsburgh, PA,” remarked Steve Ewing, Aero Tech Designs’ Marketing Director.

Some highlights of the 2020/2021 Winter Kit Collection include merino wool base layers, balaclavas, skull cap & pullovers, the USA Soft Shell Cycling Jacket, all-day cycling tights and a classic thermal long sleeve jersey. 

USA Soft Shell Cycling Jacket

The USA Soft Shell Jacket is made from a windproof fleece-backed polyester. Between those two fabrics is a 100% polyurethane layer that creates a waterproof seal. The outer layer is finished in a DWR waterproof coating.

This softshell winter cycling jacket is finished with reflective trims and three pockets. A longer tail helps prevent water spray at the rider’s backside. Aero Heat Fabric wicks
moisture off the skin while retaining body heat.

Aero Tech Designs’ Merino Collection

Aero Tech’s merino wool and polyester blended fabric to hold in your body heat while keeping you dry and comfortable during long rides. The base layer has an additional length in the body and elastic binding around the bottom hem so cold wind can’t slip through the cracks.
