Fabric: The outer protective layer features a waterproof and windproof coating, crucial for resisting harsh weather conditions (cold wind, rain, snow). It effectively blocks cold wind penetration, preventing heat loss. The fabric surface undergoes a durable water-repellent treatment, forming an invisible protective film that easily handles light rain and road splashes; water droplets bead up and roll off, keeping you dry.
The inner insulating layer innovatively combines high-quality merino wool, effectively locking in body heat even when wet. More importantly, the soft, skin-friendly feel, moisture-wicking properties, and natural antibacterial characteristics of wool ensure you stay dry, warm, and comfortable during long rides, eliminating the cold and sticky feeling common in winter cycling.
