Winter Cycling Jackets

Ride Through the Cold. Stay in the Flow.

From frosty morning commutes to deep-winter base miles, every winter cycling jacket here is built for warmth that moves with you, not against you. Windproof panels, thermal linings, and weather-ready details keep your focus on the ride, not the forecast.

Conquer the Cold in Winter Cycling Jackets

Cold, wet, windy—winter brings it all. Every winter cycling jacket we carry is made for riders who don't hang up the bike when temperatures drop. Each piece combines warmth, breathability, and on-bike mobility so you can keep training, exploring, and commuting through the season. Whether you ride road, gravel, or singletrack, these jackets keep you dry, visible, and comfortable from base layer to outer shell.

Built for Winter Riding

Engineered fabrics block wind, shed drizzle, and wick sweat during hard efforts. Softshell fronts cut the chill, while thermal backs let heat escape to prevent overheating. Reflective hits enhance visibility in low light, and many designs feature recycled materials—performance that’s mindful of the planet.

Choose Your Winter Cycling Jacket

Thermal Jackets: Ideal for dry, cold rides; brushed interiors hold heat while stretch panels ensure easy movement.

Softshell Jackets: A step up in protection; multi-layer fabrics block wind and light rain without adding bulk.

Insulated Jackets: For deep-winter adventures; Primaloft® and down-alternative fills deliver warmth that breathes.

Water-Resistant Shells: Perfect for unpredictable conditions, offering lightweight protection that packs small and layers easily.

Layer Up

Dial in comfort and temperature control by building your kit from the inside out. Every layer plays a role in keeping you warm, dry, and moving freely.

Base: Start with a moisture-moving baselayer that matches your effort—Merino for warmth, mesh for tempo.

Mid: Add a thermal jersey or light fleece for insulation.

Bottoms: Stick with bibs for cool temps, then layer up with thermal tights when winter really bites.

Outer: Finish with a winter cycling jacket suited to your ride—thermal for dry cold, softshell for wind, or waterproof for storms.

Many winter cycling jackets in this collection feature recycled materials and eco-friendly water repellents, proving that high performance and low impact can coexist.

FAQs: Winter Cycling Jacket

What’s the difference between a thermal and a softshell jacket?

Thermal jackets focus on warmth and breathability in dry cold, while softshells add wind and light-rain protection with more structure.

Do I need an insulated jacket for winter rides?

Yes, if you're riding in near-freezing temperatures or on long descents. Insulated options trap more heat without sacrificing breathability.

Can I use a rain jacket as a winter jacket?

You can, but rain shells alone lack insulation. Layer one over a thermal jersey for the best of both worlds.

What should I wear under my winter cycling jacket?

Start with a wicking base layer to manage sweat and add a thermal mid-layer for longer or colder rides.

How should a winter jacket fit?

Close but flexible—snug enough to prevent wind flap, roomy enough for layering. The hem should stay put in the riding position.

Gear Up and Keep Riding

Winter doesn’t end the season—it just changes how you dress. Find your layers, trust your gear, and keep the pedals turning.
