Winter Sportswear Guide: Cycling, Running and MTB

Stay warm, stay active, and keep riding with SCODY this winter. When the temperatures drop, motivation is often not far behind, but with the right winter activewear, you can leverage the cold months to your advantage. 

Whether you’re a roadie battling chilly descents, a runner navigating the frosty trails, or a mountain biker riding through the mist, we’ve got high-quality thermal layers to keep you comfortable and protected this winter. 

At SCODY, we know all about the Australian winter because our products are especially designed to tackle it head-on. Our kit is made right here in Brisbane and designed by Australians to help you manage the unpredictable temperatures, coastal chills, and the ever-changing conditions that keep us on our toes over winter. 

We’ve put together a guide to help you choose the perfect cold-weather fitness wear to suit your discipline this winter so you can keep training no matter what the weather!

Why Layering Matters in Winter Training

Finding the balance with winter layering can be a bit of a juggling act. You need thin, easy-to-remove layers that help shield you against the wind and rain whilst remaining breathable. 

It’s also vital that you choose gear you can easily move in. There’s nothing worse than feeling restricted when your bike-handling skills are being pushed to the limits or having your movement compromised mid-run. 

A good layering system for winter usually includes: 

●      Base Layers: Ideally, moisture-wicking and breathable

●      Mid Layer: Thermal insulation, thin, and comfortable

●      Outer Layer: Wind and rain resistant, and ideally includes reflective materials 

Of course, the sport you take part in will also affect how you dress up or down for the seasons. We pride ourselves on being a multi-sport company and our ability to offer you high-performance kit no matter your discipline.

Cycling Thermals for Maximum Performance

Any cyclist will tell you that the cold bites hardest in the morning, and those long, breezy descents really sort the men out from the boys. Luckily, we’ve got cycling thermals engineered specifically to tackle those tricky conditions with plenty of stretch, comfort, and even a pro-level fit to keep you fast.

Pure Black Thermo-Fit Arm Warmers

Mid-weight coverage with plenty of flexibility, giving you the ultimate upgrade to your short-sleeved jerseys. Made from our Thermo-Fit fabric to work with your body shape whilst maximising thermo-regulation, our arm warmers are perfect for early morning rides and racing throughout winter.

Pure Black Thermo-Fit Leg Warmers

Summer bib shorts paired with our leg warmers can transform your kit into a versatile secret weapon. You don’t need to sacrifice movement or airflow on the bike when you layer up with our thermo-fit leg warmers available in black or navy.

Thermal Cycle Jacket

Everyone needs a jacket that perfectly strikes the balance between warmth and breathability, which is exactly why we’ve created our thermal cycle jacket. Wind-resistant panels and a warm, fleecy interior make it the ideal layer to put between your favourite jersey and a waterproof gilet.

Running from the Chill

Winter running is mainly going to consist of finding a way to remain warm without overheating. Luckily, we’ve created a range of running kits that are made from technical fabrics promoting thermoregulation whilst being easy to remove when things heat up!

Layering Tips for Runners

●      Keep moisture-wicking fabrics close to your skin.

●      Your second layer needs to be windproof.

●      Thermal tights, especially compression tights, aid recovery.

●      Gloves and a headband are a must! 

Check out our full range of running gear that has been built with Australia’s unpredictable climate in mind. Layering correctly will give you the flexibility to add or remove layers depending on how your run goes, keeping you comfortable all winter long.

MTB Clothing for Year-Round Riding

You might have spotted our range of versatile mountain biking gear that is ideal for wearing in different combinations all year long. Prepare yourself for any MTB adventure with the correct gear from SCODY this winter.

Winter MTB Layering

●      Start with a breathable shirt or jersey.

●      Add a lightweight layer like our windproof cycling jacket.

●      Our cycling vests make a brilliant third layer.

●      Shorts over tights or leg warmers are a great winter addition!
