Winter Is Coming: Finding Your Perfect Outer Layer ❄️🚴♂️
Chilly early morning and sunset rides are starting to bite. At Detour Custom Apparel, 3 specific items rise to the top of every rider’s wish list this season. But which one is right for you?
Here is the breakdown of our most-purchased winter essentials!
The Core Fleece Jersey
The Core Fleece Jersey is designed for those “in-between” days. It strikes the perfect balance between performance and budget, making it our #1 best-seller for club kits.
Best for: Temperatures between 10°C and 15°C.
The Tech: High-stretch Italian fleece fabric with a soft brushed interior. It’s designed to be body-hugging (Intermediate fit) to keep the warmth in while allowing for a base layer underneath.
Why riders love it: It feels like a standard jersey but performs like a thermal. It’s the perfect base for your winter wardrobe.
The Prestige All-Weather Jacket
If you refuse to let a bit of wind or drizzle cancel your ride, the Prestige All-Weather is your go-to. This is the most versatile jacket in our entire collection.
Best for: Windy, wet, and cold training rides where you need shell protection.
The Tech: Crafted from eVent DvAlpine—a 3-layer laminate that is both windproof and waterproof. It features taped seams and waterproof YKK zippers.
Why riders love it: It offers massive protection (20m water column) without the “boil-in-the-bag” feeling, thanks to its high breathability (22,000 g/m2).
The Prestige Heavy Jacket
For those truly freezing mornings where the mercury dips toward zero, the Prestige Heavy Jacket is the ultimate “Coffee Shop Jacket” and deep-winter tool.
Best for: Deep winter conditions—specifically -5°C to 5°C.
The Tech: Uses eVent 3-layer bonded fleece. It features a dual YKK zipper, allowing you to unzip from the bottom for temperature regulation without letting the jacket flap in the wind.
Why riders love it: It is the warmest garment we make. With an anatomic race cut and a high fleece-lined collar, it ensures no heat escapes while you’re out in the elements.
Which one are you choosing?
The right gear makes the difference between a ride you enjoy and a ride you endure. Whether you need the budget-friendly warmth of the Core Fleece or the heavy-duty protection of the Prestige line, we’ve got your team covered.
