As most of you have felt… Winter is coming! The first snow has hit and people everywhere are looking to cuddle up with someone and snuggle up in front of the tele. But for the rest of us that have to or want to brave this winter on our bicycles, here are some ways to stay warm, dry, and all the while not looking like a the Michelin man. The best thing that you can do is Layer. Here are some good ideas to stay warm in the cold.
The first line of defense is a good jacket. We currently have in stock the Swrve Milwakee ES Hoodie Mid-Weight Soft Shell and the Mission Workshop Orion Waterproof Jacket. These two jackets are great for being the first line of defense when biking outdoors. The Milwakee Hoodie is wind and water resistant jacket with thermal lining. Every guy in the shop owns one personally and it’s an affordable tech jacket.
The Mission Workshop Orion Jacket is completely waterproof and made out of 4-way stretch Schoeller c_change material designed for all weather conditions.
The second best line of defense is an insulation layer. We currently have in stock the Mission Workshop Bosun Merino Wool Jacket. Merino wool is just about the best wool that you can get. The jacket is also blended with Lycra so you have full mobility and is the perfect under layer to the Orion Jacket.
We also have the two Chrome hoodies in stock. The Cobra Merino Hoodie for men and the Pasha Merino Hoodie for women is a more affordable way to get the benefits of Merino wool and also keeps you from looking like a dumpling (especially good for the ladies).
We just received our shipment of the Mission Workshop Bosun and Orion Jackets. Time to get ready for fall and winter riding!
“The Orion is a fully-taped waterproof, breathable jacket cut for life on the bike. Made with 4-way stretch Schoeller c_change. This waterproof–breathable fabric is designed, developed, and manufactured in the Swiss Alps; the ultimate testing grounds for all conditions from sub-zero to sub-tropical. This Swiss made fabric is designed to react to changes in temperature and activity levels. As a result, the Orion jacket is the perfect waterproof jacket for an exceptionally wide range of environments.
The Orion is equipped with internal ported media pocket, external chest pocket, front-zipped hand pockets, touring style zippered rear pocket, removable snap-off hood. Tailored for riding with articulated sleeves. Cut slightly longer in the back. Well placed pit-zip ventilation. Made in Canada.”
“The Bosun mid-weight Merino riding jacket is perfect for those chilly fall mornings. Layers nicely with the Orion waterproof shell.
The jacket is made from New Zealand Merino wool woven with a stretch Lycra fiber for greater mobility. The Bosun has one internal chest pocket, a touring-style rear pocket and one internal ported media pocket. It is cut slightly longer in the back and has reinforced shoulders and elbows made from military-spec 4-way stretch fabric from the USA.
Made up there in Canada.”
