It’s time to stay comfortable and ride harder with our fabulous range of autumn MTB layering apparel.
When the trails get quieter and the temperature starts to drop, autumn gives you the perfect time to have some of the best mountain biking rides in Australia all to yourself. The cooler weather, incredible terrain, and fewer flies make it simply unmissable.
But with the unpredictable forecasts and inconsistent temperatures, mastering the art of autumn MTB layering is key to keeping comfortable whilst you’re riding.
Whether you’re tackling Tassie’s singletracks or the dusty trails of the Blue Mountains, having the right mountain biking gear to hand keeps your ride feeling great for long. Here’s our SCODY guide on layering up with SCODY’s trail-ready MTB clothing.
Why Layer Your MTB Apparel?
Much like the Australian weather during autumn, mountain biking offers a lot of variables that can affect your comfort when riding. Bursts of high effort paired with long descents, shady valleys, and unexpected weather conditions mean you need MTB clothing that’ll help to regulate your temperature whilst being protected from nature.
Some things you should be prioritising in your MTB layering are:
● Regulating your body temperature
● Wearing breathable fabrics
● Decent protections against wind and the elements
Start with a Breathable Base
You really need a moisture-wicking base layer that’ll stay close to your skin and doesn’t interfere with your mobility on the bike. A lightweight, breathable MTB gear base, as opposed to a bulky thermal layer, is ideal for preventing that nasty, damp clinginess you get after a long climb.
Our Performance Fit Jerseys may not be a traditional base layer, but they work super well when worn as one! They are designed specifically to wick away moisture whilst remaining breathable with great airflow.
Add Your Loose Mid Layers
Your mid-layer should be something loose and breathable that keeps you protected from UV rays or a sudden chill. It should also be sturdy enough to withstand any overgrown bush trails or even low-hanging branches whilst you’re riding at high speeds.
Our Mountain Bike Shirt with a handy zip pocket is absolutely great for both mountain biking and your commute to work. With roomy shoulders, fantastic UV protection, antibacterial properties, and made from 97% recycled yarns, our MTB shirts are a perfect addition to your autumn wardrobe.
Finally, a Windproof Outer Layer
There’s nothing worse than catching a chilly breeze on your favourite ridgeline, so you really need a layer to block out the wind without trapping in your sweat. Luckily, a windproof cycling jacket is all you need to avoid this awful feeling!
Our Winter Thermal Cycling Jacket is a brilliant outer layer thanks to the moisture-wicking imported Italian Thermofit fabric. You’ve also got handy pockets, reflective binding, optimised thermoregulation, as well as UPF 50+! It is the perfect final layer for mid-ride temperature drops or chilly autumn weather.
Short and Stylish
For true trail-ready MTB clothing, you need something that’s durable, water-repellent, and loose enough for layering. Shorts are a great option because you can easily add compression tights as a base layer for those extra chilly days or wear them alone for warmer rides.
Our Mountain Bike Shorts are everything MTB shorts should be with a ripstop active shell, moisture-wicking pro-hydra dura side panels, a wide waist elastic, zipped pockets, designed for maximum mobility, and have a UPF 50+.
Add Some Accessories
Obviously, for those really cold rides or times when you know you’ll be needing a little extra warmth on those descents, you’re going to need autumn MTB accessories that fit the bill.
Gloves, arm and leg warmers, and even a windproof gilet are all excellent additions to your cold-weather kit bag as they are easy to remove and pack away should things start to heat up.
Plan for the Ride, Not Just the Weather
Our biggest MTB apparel tips have to be to think about where you’re riding and how you’re riding. If you know you’re going to a gentle ride without too many high-effort stages, you can wrap up a bit more than if you know you’ll be putting in some pretty big efforts on the ridges.
Always start your planning by checking the weather forecast for where you’re planning to ride. Even a couple of degrees can feel extreme when you’re riding at your peak. Then it’s also sensible to think about the elevation you’re riding at, too. A Queensland mountain can start to feel frosty in April, so don’t get caught out and wear a jacket.
Ride Smart, Layer Right
Autumn MTB layering means better rides, less discomfort, and fewer excuses to put off those morning rides. With our huge range of mountain biking gear, you can enjoy all the warmth of our windproof cycling jackets right up to the comfort of the rest of our breathable MTB gear.
