Correctly combine cycling clothing in autumn & winter
Outside drizzling. The thermometer barely manages to creak into the double digits. Does the bike have to go to the cellar for its well-deserved winter sleep already? Of course not! We show you how to equip yourself perfectly for autumn & winter with the right combination of layers from the new TRIPLE2 cycling clothing.
You've probably heard it: When the weather is changeable, you are best equipped with a combination of several coordinated layers of cycling clothing in autumn & winter. Depending on the weather, a layer can be quickly added or removed.
At the beginning, however, the consideration is: What do I actually have planned? Is there an intense training day ahead or a leisurely tour through autumnal forests? The rule is: The more intense the exertion, the more sweat needs to be transported and dried off. At the same time, there must be a very high breathability to prevent overheating - especially with cycling clothing in autumn & winter.
If things proceed at a leisurely pace and breaks are taken from time to time, the insulation effect must be higher so that the body does not cool down too quickly. But even here, the sweat that forms must be transported away.
In both variants, the onion principle is a good idea. Important here: Consider how you will transport the products that are not needed in the meantime before assembling the individual bowls. They need to be very compact for packing. It's ideal if you also have a packing bag so that they don't get dirty during transport, for example in a backpack.

Cycling Clothing in Autumn & Winter - 1th - Baselayer
MERINO BASELAYER
We love Merino, which is why we swear by natural Merino wool as the first layer on the skin. An ideal start for cycling clothing in autumn & winter. Here, especially with fluctuating temperatures, you can showcase all your strengths. Merino wool can absorb a lot of moisture particularly quickly. During this process, heat is generated as long as the fiber absorbs moisture. Thanks to the Tencel content, our very fine Merino wool feels silky soft directly on the skin. You can find out more about our wool here.
As a Merino baselayer, you have the choice between a short-sleeve shirt for warmer autumn days, the UNNER Shirt (surface weight 120g/m²), and our long-sleeve shirt for cooler days - ideal as a baselayer, for example, for the VELOZIP LS or BRIES Jacket.
Which area of application?
Light Merino baselayer shirt for cool, autumn days. Perfect in combination with Merino jerseys like VELOZIP or long-sleeve jerseys like SWET LS. In combination with 2nd and 3rd layers, ideal for frosty days. Odor-neutral, extremely soft, and very quick-drying.

Cycling Clothing in Autumn & Winter - 2nd - Midlayer
Merino Midlayer - Main task: Insulation and protection
The second layer serves as an intermediary between the baselayer and outer layer in cycling clothing for autumn & winter. It must provide warmth, transport moisture, offer light wind protection, and depending on the style, take on additional tasks. For example, our VELOZIP LS Pro jersey made from ocean waste material warms thanks to its brushed inner side and is also extremely elastic. In autumn conditions, it is the ideal companion.
"If a pure insulation layer is needed as a second layer and it gets very cold, ideally a layer made of Merino is used. Especially when MTB tours with longer breaks of inactivity are planned or commutes on the E-bike where the intensity is not so high, a bit more warmth is required. The VELOZIP LS Sub would be the optimal companion here, but also our DUUNSOOL vest with wool insulation."
Example: OCEAN WASTE SECOND LAYER
Which second layer cycling clothing in autumn & winter? Our VELOZIP LS Pro Jersey is a true all-rounder. It can be worn directly as a jersey over a baselayer in warmer temperatures. Thanks to its brushed inner side, it creates the perfect connection to all Triple2 baselayers and is very durable due to its nylon outer layer.

Cycling Clothing in Autumn & Winter - 3rd - Outerlayer
Stay outside - protective layer against the elements
Wind, rain, snow. The outer layer for cycling clothing in autumn & winter has a lot to do when it gets cool and uncomfortable outside. First and foremost, the outer layer in autumn & winter must provide protection. This is because it can cause goosebumps and chilled arms, legs, and especially the chest due to the wind chill effect. The choice you make depends - as already mentioned - on what you plan to do, how much storage space you have, and what the weather conditions are like.
On an intensive road bike tour, a KAMSOOL wind vest may be sufficient. Perhaps our BIKE MAGAZIN TEST WINNER KLEEN JACKET is enough as cycling clothing in autumn & winter. If it rains and you plan longer outings, then our rain jacket SMUDD might be the best choice. And if it gets really cold, then reach for the compact DUUN Jacket with LAVALAN wool filling and integrated packing bag.
Example: Moisture protection
The third layer directly confronts the elements. Snow, rain, wind. Merino wool, windproof fabrics, and waterproof membranes stand up to these challenges. In the case of the SMUDD Jacket, this means a water column of 20,000mm and 100% windproof. And to keep you flexible, the jacket can be packed down to the size of a fist. Our SMUDD is also available in a PRO variant with a sporty cut, without a hood. This way, you can defy the elements with the optimal combination of cycling clothing in autumn & winter.

Cycling Clothing in Autumn & Winter - Accessories
Small but important helpers!
"They are small but important and definitely belong in a portfolio with cycling clothing for autumn & winter, when it comes to having fun on the bike in cold weather. Whether it's a neck scarf, socks, leg warmers, or a thermal hat: winter accessories protect your extremities from hypothermia."
Important: The helpers must be compact and lightweight, and they should be flexible to use. Because especially in autumn, the temperatures change very quickly. Therefore, for example, our leg warmers must fit loosely into the jersey pocket in case it gets too warm.
By the way: Our new set of arm lengths, knee lengths, and leg warmers not only keeps you warm but is also wind and water resistant. The highlight: Thanks to the Merino inner side, all three helpers provide optimal temperature control and perfect wearing comfort. In addition, they are extremely elastic and, thanks to the nylon outer side, so robust that they can withstand longer excursions in dirt and moisture. This is how cycling clothing in autumn & winter is done.
Cycling Clothing in Autumn and Winter - Merino Bib Tights
Warm cycling shorts for MTB, gravel, and road.
"We have invested almost two years of development work into our winter bib tights. Goal: the first Ocean Waste Bib Tights and the first Merino Bib Tights in the world! Finally, we have found the perfect combination of fit, comfort, thermal performance, dirt, wind, and water resistance at a low weight."
As with our BRIES Pro Jacket, we rely on an innovative material for the MOK Pro Bib Tights, which consists of a Merino inner side and a robust nylon outer side. Thanks to the natural Merino inner side, the pants optimally regulate temperature in a variety of conditions and are extremely elastic at the same time. This promotes optimal wearing comfort whether under shorts or worn alone on the racing bike. The water-repellent outer layer makes it the ideal companion in cool temperatures, where light drizzle may also be a factor.
"We have also implemented a similarly successful concept with the MOK Evo Bib Tights. Here, the heat performance is provided by our fluffy Ocean Waste material."
"If a bib tight is not the right choice for cycling clothing in autumn & winter, then we also have a specially developed MTB pants for the mountain biking area in our program. Name: BUEX Pro. Ready for anything that is rough, dirty, and fast."
