Cycling – Best of Winter Essentials The challenge of cycling in winter Cycling in winter brings with it special challenges: wind, rain, and low temperatures. It is crucial to have the right equipment that protects you from the wind and cold without restricting your freedom of movement. Layering technique for cyclists Base Layer: Moisture-wicking layer that absorbs sweat and transports it to the outside for evaporation. Mid Layer: Insulating layer that stores body heat and keeps out the wind. Outer Layer: The outermost, robust layer. For example, a windproof and water-repellent jacket to protect you from the elements.
