Freezing weather doesn’t have to mean the end of your cycling adventures. With the right gear, you’ll stay warm, dry, and comfortable — and riding can be a true experience even in winter. Let’s take a look at the FORCE products that will help you really enjoy the ride.
Keep your core comfortably warm:
The FORCE FROST softshell winter jacket is ideal for riding in freezing weather. It’s warm, water- and wind-resistant, and highly visible — exactly what you need to avoid being caught off guard by the cold. But even the best jacket can’t work miracles, so don’t forget a functional base layer.
Your legs will warm up through movement:
but they also need protection from the cold. FORCE SHIELD bib tights protect your legs from cold and wind, allowing you to ride comfortably even at low temperatures. You can also choose a version with or without a pad, and the practical rear pocket on the lower back can come in handy as well.
Frozen fingers and feet?
With FORCE FLAKE thermal socks, your toes will enjoy plenty of warmth thanks to the merino wool. But even merino can’t work miracles in regular cycling shoes, so let’s move on to our next tip:
The FORCE GLACIER winter shoes are perfect even for longer rides in freezing conditions. They protect your feet from moisture and cold, and you can choose them in both MTB and ROAD versions. The ATOP dial and the protective Velcro strap ensure a secure fit.
But you’ve got fingers on your hands too!
The FORCE ARCTIC PRO winter gloves provide your hands with maximum warmth and don’t forget about your nose, thanks to the soft terry on the outside of the thumb. Selected fingers feature a non-slip finish for a more secure grip on the handlebars and can even operate a touchscreen.
Layering is key!
Proper layering ensures thermal comfort. A functional base layer wicks away sweat, the outer layer protects you from wind and rain, and accessories like a headband, scarf, or shoe covers provide extra protection in really low temperatures.
Tips for winter riding
Start your ride gradually so your body warms up slowly.
Check the weather and adjust your layers according to current conditions.
Don’t forget to apply a suitable cream to areas exposed to the cold.
With the right gear from FORCE, you can go on winter rides without worrying about getting cold. Winter will no longer be an obstacle, but an opportunity for more kilometers and new experiences in the saddle.
