Warmers & Base Layers

Warmers are add-on pieces designed to extend your existing kit into cooler conditions, covering your legs, arms, or feet without replacing your core clothing. Base layers are worn underneath your jersey and shorts to regulate body temperature and manage moisture during the ride. For mild or transitional weather, warmers are often enough on their own, while colder conditions typically benefit from combining both for a more complete layering system.

Lighter fabric options in short or sleeveless styles are best suited to transitional weather where temperatures drop slightly but you still generate significant heat from effort. Heavier thermal fabrics in long sleeve styles are better suited to cold or wet winter conditions where retaining warmth is the priority. Thinking about your typical riding temperature range will help you choose the right weight without overheating or underdressing.

Yes, both warmers and base layers are available in men's and women's specific cuts to ensure a better fit under your existing kit. A well-fitted warmer or base layer should sit smoothly without bunching, slipping, or restricting movement during the ride. Choosing the correct gender-specific sizing helps the garment stay in place and perform as intended across the full duration of your ride.

Leg warmers are a practical choice when your core and upper body are warm enough but your legs need extra protection from cold or wind. Arm warmers are ideal when temperatures are cool at the start of a ride but are likely to warm up, as they can be easily removed and stowed mid-ride. Both options are packable and lightweight, making them a versatile addition to your kit without adding bulk.

Overshoes provide more complete coverage of the foot and are better suited to cold or wet conditions where full protection is needed. Toe covers are a lighter option that protect just the front of the shoe, making them a good choice for cool but dry conditions where full overshoes may be too much.
