1 Gorewear C5 Thermo Bib Tight+
The C5 is the ideal base layer for riding in the cold. On cool days, the thermo-stretch material roughened on the inside is enough to keep your muscles warm. In the crotch area and on the inner thighs, windproof material and DWR waterproofing prevent chilling. Particularly comfortable: the seamless, quick-drying straps and the Elastic Interface pad. Price: 159.95 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
2 Vaude Kuro insulated shorts
As soon as it gets frosty outside and an icy wind whistles around your thighs, an insulated short supports the long cycling shorts. The Kuro is particularly cleverly designed, reaching above the knees and high up at the rear. The wide stretch waistband ensures a non-slip fit. The light padding at the front protects against the cold, while robust softshell at the back protects against dirt and moisture. Price: 140 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
3 Löffler Shirt L/S Transtex Retr'x
For the new Transtex Retr'x baselayer, the Austrians knit recycled polypropylene and GOTS-certified organic cotton into a warm and highly breathable fabric. The long-sleeved shirts are available with a round neck or roll neck. Dyes are not used in production in Ried for environmental reasons. Price: from 89.99 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
4 Fox Defend Thermal Hoodie
In this casually cut hoodie, Fox combines robust softshell with warming Polartec fleece in the areas exposed to the wind. If you pull the snug-fitting hood over your head, you also get a set of warm ears. The slightly wider fit creates an air cushion for more insulation, and the back has been extended to prevent a cold bridge at the waistband. 139.99 Euro >> available here at a reduced price.
5 Gonso Taccone
Because the arms are usually less cold than the torso, a gilet is the perfect complement to a thermal jersey. Gonso's Taccone is lined with Primaloft Silver, which is made from 100% recycled PET bottles. The high stand-up collar and elasticated armholes prevent draughts from cooling the body. Thanks to the two-way zip, the Taccone can be ventilated slightly. Price: 129.95 euros >> available here.
6 Alé Ride headband
While the ears are usually sensitive to the cold, it can quickly become too warm with a hat on the rest of your head. The Ride headband made of fluffy thermal fleece protects sensitive ears, but allows accumulated body heat to evaporate upwards and fits perfectly under any helmet. Price: 13.99 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
7 Sidas 3Feet Merino insoles
The way to warm feet is through the sole. Specialist Sidas prevents cold bridges at the cleat opening with an insulating layer on the underside. On the upper side, a blended fabric made from merino wool provides warmth and also prevents unpleasant odours. The supportive EVA shell is available for different arch types. Price: 44.95 euros >> available here at a reduced price.
8 45NRTH Dazzle Midweight Knee Socks
In Minnesota, we know all about the cold. Winters with temperatures well below zero and blizzards that sweep you off your bike. So it's no wonder that 45NRTH has a particularly warm merino sock in its range, the Dazzle. It reaches up to the knees, keeping the calves warm and closing any gaps in the upper layers of clothing. Price: 29.99 euros.
9 GripGrab Aviator Windproof Deep Winter Skull Cap
GripGrab offers the pilot cap for mountain bikers. With its low cut, it seems to literally hug the head. The windstopper material keeps even the frostiest wind away from your head and ensures pleasant warmth in icy temperatures. Price: 36,95 Euro >> available here at a reduced price.
10 Fizik Nanuq GTX Flat
Winter shoes for flat pedal bikers have so far been as rare as snow at Christmas. Fizik wants to change that with the Nanuq. Its Vibram sole has been specially designed for slippery surfaces. A Gore-Tex membrane with fleece lining keeps feet dry and warm. In addition, a neoprene gaiter prevents water from penetrating from above. The Fizik Nanuq can be adjusted to the foot in no time at all using the Boa fastener. Price: 279 Euro >> available here at a reduced price.
