1. Cycling – Best of Winter Essentials
The challenge of cycling in winter
Cycling in winter presents unique challenges: wind, rain, and low temperatures. Having the right equipment is crucial to protect you from wind and cold without restricting your freedom of movement.
Layering technique for cyclists:
- Base Layer : Moisture-wicking layer that absorbs sweat and directs it to the outside for evaporation.
- Mid Layer : An insulating layer that traps body heat and blocks the wind.
- Outer Layer : The outermost, robust layer. For example, a windproof and water-repellent jacket to protect you from the elements.

2. Running – Best of Winter Essentials
Why the right winter outfit is important when running
When running in winter, two things are crucial: comfort and protection from the cold. The wrong gear can leave you either freezing or overheating. This is where the layering system comes in – a proven method for being ideally equipped in any weather.
Layering technique in winter running
- Base layer : A moisture-wicking shirt that transports sweat away from the skin. This ensures dryness and warmth retention.
- Mid Layer : This layer insulates, retains body heat and protects you from the cold.
- Outer Layer : This layer protects you from external influences such as wind and rain and keeps them out.
