We cherish sunny autumn rides, but it soon gets chilly once clouds reappear. After all, if British weather can be relied on for anything it’s a changeable outlook. It’s why merino wool remains so popular – a material perfectly suited to autumn riding.
They say cyclists used to resort to placing old newspapers down their tops as a cheap and effective way to keep warm and reduce wind chill. Thankfully, these days cycle clothing is a little more refined.
Merino wool is breathable, naturally anti-bacterial, lightweight and soft – qualities ideally suited to cycling wear. This particular jersey from dhb uses a blended polyamide fabric for a snug fit and a polypropylene layer to help moisture evaporate quicker.
