Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you have to stop bike riding! I’ve rounded up my favorite winter riding gear, from base layers to gloves and shoes - I’ve got you covered. I’ve done my best to include a variety of sizes and price points too - after all, everyone deserves to be warm!
Base Layers
Your first layer of clothing is absolutely critical. Base layers should be close fitting and ideally moisture-wicking, so your sweat doesn’t pool and make you colder.
Budget Pick
Luxury Pick
Middle Layers - Insulation
Depending on how cold it is, you’re going to want an insulating layer on top of your base layer, but below your outer layer. I love to wear cozy sweatshirts, cute flannels, or on especially cold rides, a specially designed chest warmer.
outer layers
Depending on where you live and if you’ll be riding in the rain, your outer layers should protect you from the elements - that means waterproof, windproof, or both.
Gloves, socks, shoes & more
Now that you’re dressed, you can’t forget about your fingers, toes and head! Keeping your extremities warm and cozy is crucial to enjoying your time outside.
