Cycling Gear with Insulation Technology

Insulated cycling clothing is gear built with warmth-trapping fabrics, brushed thermal fleece, lofted synthetic Alpha insulation, and wind-blocking AmFIB, that hold body heat while still breathing during hard efforts.

Brushed thermal fleece adds warmth in a thin, stretchy layer that fits close. Alpha-style synthetic insulation is lofted and highly breathable, dumping heat quickly when you push so you don't overheat, then trapping it when you ease off.

Good insulation breathes. Active-insulation and thermal knits release heat during efforts and trap it when you slow, which is what makes them work for stop-start winter riding. Vent zips help you fine-tune. See how to dress in Cold Weather.

AmFIB is a wind- and water-resistant insulated fabric platform built for the coldest rides, used in winter jackets, bib tights, gloves, and shoe covers. Choose it when wind chill, not just cold, is the problem.

Yes. A wicking base layer moves sweat off your skin so the insulation stays dry and warm. Damp insulation chills you, so the base layer is what makes the warmth work.

Close enough to trap a warm layer of air without compressing it, with just enough room for a base layer underneath. Too loose lets warm air escape. Check our Size & Fit Guide.

Wash cold, skip fabric softener, and air-dry or tumble on low per the care label to protect the loft and any wind or water finish.
