When winter rolls in, riders face a balancing act: how to stay warm without ending up stiff, bulky, and uncomfortable in the saddle.
The answer?
Smart layering. Not only does it keep you cosy, but it also helps with performance and safety when temperatures drop.
Start with your base.
A good base layer is essential. Choose something lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking – it’ll draw sweat away from your skin, so you don’t end up damp and chilly once you’ve warmed up. Think of it as your foundation for comfort. Our StableStyle baselayers make the perfect addition!
Add your mid-layer.
This is your insulation. A cosy fleece, thermal top, or our stablestyle ¼ zip will trap heat without restricting movement. The trick here is warmth without bulk – you want to stay flexible enough to ride properly, not feel like you’re wrestling with your jacket at every transition.
Finish with an outer layer.
Windproof and waterproof jackets are your best friend in winter. Not only do they keep out the chill, but a good jacket will also protect you from showers and icy winds, check out our stablestyle jackets. Look for ones with vents or zips you can adjust once you’ve warmed up in the saddle.
