Winter is here: don't let the cold stop your desire to get out on your bike.
The secret to riding in comfort when temperatures drop and the weather changes abruptly is to dress in layers with the appropriate technical clothing.
The Klimatik® line, an exclusive Alé brand, is the most trustworthy ally for coping with the cold winter temperatures. It features a wide range of garments that can be worn in different weather conditions, from rain to wind, without sacrificing comfort and safety.
The first basic layer is the underwear, which is responsible for maintaining body heat: That is why we recommend our Klima underwear, created from Nilit Heat fabric with coffee charcoal for an antibacterial effect, thermal insulation, easy drying and powerful deodorising effect, a model in both the men's and women's catalogue.
The second most important layer is the choice of thermal and elasticised bibtights, such as the K-Tour bibtights, designed for cycling during particularly wet mid-winter climates. It fits the body like a second skin thanks to the ergonomic cuts. The DWR treatment protects against light rain and dirt while remaining breathable and controlling moisture.
The next layer is the water-repellent K-Idro thermal jersey, designed for both him and her. Characterised by the different nuances, it is particularly suitable for insulating against the cold and keeping the body completely dry. This product also features DWR treatment that protects against light rain and dirt while maintaining breathability.
As a last layer, it is important to choose a suitable jacket that provides total protection: which is why the K-Tornado jacket is the best choice. A truly exceptional garment with the fit of a jersey and the wind and moisture protection of a jacket. The Klima membrane and DWR treatment on the entire surface provide high breathability, lightness and thermal insulation even in wet conditions. It is a garment developed for intermediate weather conditions.
To protect oneself from the cold sometimes it is not enough to dress appropriately, but it is essential to wear the right complements and accessories, which are essential to perform at one's best. Prominent among these is the K-Atmo headband, which is water-repellent, designed to maintain body temperature while providing maximum comfort, and fits any type of helmet.
Gloves are a must: an essential accessory for safe and comfortable cycling. We recommend the Neoprene Plus glove, made of neoprene, which provides thermal protection, comfort, and prevents the entry of air and water. It is a lightweight technical glove with anatomical construction, suede palm with silicone anti-grip print for better grip on the handlebars. Easily visible on the street thanks to the reflective logo.
A product that meets all the needs of cyclists is the Klimatik shoe cover, laminated on the outside with a windproof and rainproof membrane with heat-taped seams. The thermal lining keeps the foot warm and protected in various weather conditions, even the most extreme ones. It can be adapted to all shoe models, easy to wear thanks to the waterproof side zip. The rear reflective detail increases the cyclist's visibility, especially in the evening.
In conclusion, remember to cover yourself properly so you can fully enjoy your winter runs!
Embrace the elements.
