The Three-Layer Guide for Autumn to Winter
LAYER
YOUR RIDE
From breathable early-autumn rides to fully protected winter miles, build your layers around the weather, the effort and the road ahead.
ONE SYSTEM. THREE ESSENTIAL LAYERS.
BUILD YOUR SYSTEM AROUND THE RIDE.
Conditions change throughout the ride. Your clothing should adapt with them.
A three-layer system helps move moisture away from the skin, retain the right amount of warmth and protect you from wind and changing weather.
1
BASE LAYER
Stay Dry
Worn next to the skin to manage moisture and maintain a comfortable microclimate.
2
MID LAYER
Manage Warmth
Adds breathable insulation while allowing excess heat to escape.
3
OUTER LAYER
Stay Protected
Blocks wind and light precipitation when the weather turns.
THE THREE-LAYER SYSTEM
PRE-AUTUMN
LIGHT LAYERS. FULL ADAPTABILITY.
Cool starts, warm climbs and breezy descents — early autumn calls for lightweight layers that respond quickly to changing temperatures.
01 — BASE
BREATHE
Start with a lightweight base layer that moves moisture away from the skin and helps you stay dry as the pace increases.
02 — MID
REGULATE
Choose a breathable jersey powered by 37.5® Technology to help manage heat and humidity within your personal microclimate.
03 — OUTER
ADAPT
Add a lightweight vest or packable jacket for cool mornings and descents. Remove and store it easily when temperatures rise.
37.5® TECHNOLOGY
Removes moisture vapor before sweat forms to help balance temperature and humidity.
ITALIAN PERFORMANCE FABRIC
Breathable stretch and smooth support for a close, comfortable fit.
HIGH BREATHABILITY
Releases excess heat during climbs and high-output efforts.
LIGHTWEIGHT & PACKABLE
Easy to carry, layer and remove as conditions change.
THE THREE-LAYER SYSTEM
LATE AUTUMN
BUILD WARMTH. BLOCK THE WIND.
As temperatures fall and the wind becomes sharper, your layering system needs to retain more warmth without trapping excess moisture.
01 — BASE
WARM
A merino or thermal base keeps warmth next to the skin while still moving moisture as effort increases.
02 — MID
INSULATE
Add a breathable mid layer to hold heat on cold starts without trapping excess moisture on the climb.
03 — OUTER
BLOCK
A wind-resistant shell cuts the chill on descents and can be packed away when the effort rises.
OCTA® BY TEIJIN FRONTIER
Lightweight insulation that traps warmth while remaining highly breathable.
MERINO WOOL
Natural temperature regulation with next-to-skin comfort in colder air.
BREATHABLE WARMTH
Holds heat on long, cold efforts without overheating on the climb.
WIND PROTECTION
Cuts wind chill on exposed roads and fast autumn descents.
THE THREE-LAYER SYSTEM
WINTER
MAXIMUM PROTECTION. BALANCED WARMTH.
Effective winter layering is not simply about wearing more. It is about protecting exposed areas, retaining core warmth and releasing heat where the body needs to breathe.
01 — BASE
MANAGE
A moisture-managing base keeps sweat off the skin so insulation stays dry in sub-zero starts.
02 — MID
HOLD
A fleece-lined thermal layer stores warmth while remaining breathable enough for sustained effort.
03 — OUTER
PROTECT
A windproof, water-resistant shell seals out weather when winter rides turn wet or exposed.
WATER-RESISTANT
Sheds light precipitation so insulation stays dry through winter miles.
WINDPROOF SHELL
Blocks cold wind when temperature and exposure drop together.
FLEECE WARMTH
Fleece-lined thermal structure for sustained cold-weather riding.
MOISTURE CONTROL
Moves sweat away so warmth stays stable from the first pedal stroke.
