Cold Weather Riding-by Mike Esker

Cold Weather Gear

Typically this time of year, I see more and more people hanging up their bikes for the season or move toward indoor spinning. I don’t know about you, but indoor riding on a trainer bores me to tears. I would much rather be out in the elements, breathing the fresh air and seeing the sights. Riding in the winter elements is not as far fetched and difficult as you may think. I ride a lot during the winter months and have a good feel for what works and what does not work.

Based on my experience, here are my top five pieces of winter gear that will help you survive and even enjoy a nice cold ride out in the elements.

Bontrager Balaclava

This simple garment delivers unbeatable head, face and neck protection. It is designed to fit comfortably under your helmet, providing non-bulky warmth and moisture management that will keep you warm, dry and happy.

Bontrager RXL Softshell Tights

These full-length tights are a worthy weapon in your fight against cold and windy weather. The thermally-efficient Profila Softshell front and rear panels trap body heat while moving chilling moisture away from your skin. A drawstring waist, soft elastic leg grippers and ankle cuffs comfortably secure these tights.

Gore Fusion Tool Windstopper Jacket

This is a new piece for us at American Cycle and Fitness. The Gore name speaks for itself. This jacket features the Gore Windstopper fabric that offers wind-proofness while maintaining maximum breathability. You have to come in an feel it! It keeps you comfortable while maintaining the freedom of movement you need for enhanced performance in a wide range of cycling activities.

Bontrager Commuter Stormshell Jacket

This is my favorite piece of winter riding clothing. It will stop the wind in its tracks and is constructed out of a waterproof/breathable fabric. It is packed with several technical features essential to riding in the elements, including pit-zips for ventilation, adjustable wrist closures, 360 degrees of reflectivity and a rear light mounting tab. All of these will help make your rainy/snowy ride as comfortable as possible.

Bontrager RXL Waterproof Softshell Split Finger Gloves (a.k.a. Lobster Claws)

These gloves are great in cold, wet weather. They feature a Profila Softshell outer lining with toasty 100g Thinsulate Insulation. These gloves keep your digits warm and dry. An added touch is the absorbent material on the thumb to softly clean your nose. The split finger design enables you to shift and brake as usual.

I have used all of the above items. They all work … at least for me they do. Every one is different. Don’t be afraid to get out in the elements and enjoy your bicycle all year long. Bontrager even makes it easy by offering a 100% Unconditional Guarantee.

If for any reason you’re not satisfied with your Bontrager products, return the item along with the original sales receipt within 30 days of purchase date for exchange or store credit.
