3. Arm & Knee Warmers

Whipped from a pocket, or removed mid-ride - nothing adds versatility to the rider’s wardrobe like warmers. Transforming a short sleeve jersey and summer bibs into cold weather kit at the drop of a hat, there’s little doubt that for a gift you’ll see time and again, warmers are the way to go.

4. HORS CATEGORIE DEEP WINTER GLOVES

Just as nobody likes cold feet, cold hands can ruin a ride. From the danger of losing touch with your brakes and gearing, to the simple pain of numb hands, the rider conquering winter conditions needs gloves that overcome the rain and cold. Using windproof and thermal fleeced materials, this glove protects from the cold, whilst a DWR coating affords you water resistance.​

5. Snood

It sounds trivial, but in a Christmas coloured by face coverings, a snood is a really essential item for riders in winter. Riding fast through cold air, cycling exposes a person to the elements. A simple fleeced and thin layer to keep can prevent all this, offer comfort on the coldest rides.
