Seasonal cycling: Win merino wool to keep chills at bay
September 19, 2023
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.
