This weekend it’s once again time to pin our hopes of warmer weather on a rodent observing its own shadow. Regardless of what Phil says, many of us still have plenty of snow on the ground and cold temperatures in the forecast. Ornot is here with some new apparel to make the cold days good days on the bike.
Magic Shell Jacket
Polartec Power Shield fabric used on the Magic Shell is breathable enough for use as an everyday cycling jacket, while bonded and taped seams allow it to be called 99% wind and water proof. New rear pockets and two-layer cuffs could make it the only outer layer needed to enjoy year-round riding, regardless of the weather. Actually made in California, the soft and stretchy fabric allows easy layering from 55 to 32 degrees and has a two-way YKK zipper for temperature regulation on the bike.

Merino Grid Jersey
Ornot’s Merino Grid is made in the USA from deadstock Polartec Power Wool, with everything you love about extra-fine merino wool (antimicrobial, wicking, and keeping you warm even when wet). The grid structure helps trap air pockets to keep you warm under a layer, but it quickly breathes and dumps heat when worn alone.
