Winter ‘22 Kit Guide
KIT AND APPAREL TECHNOLOGY HAS COME AN incredibly long way in a relatively short space of time. Even just a couple of decades ago we were weighed down by stretched, saturated kit—wool-based apparel that doubled or even tripled in weight when the weather got wet.
It’s a lot different these days; technology has taken a giant leap forward with all manner of breathable, synthetic fabrics and manufacturing techniques helping create some of the most protective kit ever. Many makers continue to work wonders with natural fibres as well—an example being tight-knitted merino wool blends that repel water while maintaining breathability and antibacterial properties.
The downside to these advancements is obviously cost—there’s plenty of phenomenally expensive apparel out there. But if you shop around, read product reviews, owner feedback, and wide-ranging guides such as what we have here, chances are you’ll settle upon cool and wet weather kit that best suits the environments and regions you ride.
The bottom line is this: good quality winter kit will help keep you dryer, warmer and more focused on what matters most.
