A well-curated wardrobe is all about versatility and timeless style. Whether you’re updating your closet or starting fresh.
We are often asked which jersey is best for cold weather. The Belgian Crew makes different jerseys for each season. It is important to get your layers right to make the most of your winter miles. This guide is aimed to help you pick the right jersey or jacket for the job, and get you outside on your bike whatever the conditions! Use our guide to learn the principles of staying warm on cold days.
THE BASICS
Snug Fit: Our apparel is made to fit snug. Close-fitting layers do not let air in and trap heat near your body. They are also aerodynamic, giving you an advantage riding at Full Gas.
Breathable: Your body generates heat, and the harder you ride or more you push, the more you sweat. Your clothing should breathe or you will get wet and cold quicker. We only use premium fabric, insulated with highly breathable construction.
Layers: Wear layers. You should never start a ride feeling warm, but rather warm up as you ride. Dress from base layer up and add layers without getting bulky.
What to wear to stay warm in winter
FULL GAS BASE LAYER
The first layer of any riding outfit, it plays a very big role in regulating your body temperature. The Belgian Crew makes base layers that are fitted to your body, thanks to its honey-comb construction. It wicks away sweat that could turn to icy temperatures very quickly and helps move moisture out from your skin.
ST HUBERT WINTER JACKET
The best protection from the cold, our St Hubert Cycling Jacket has been engineered to get you through the harshest conditions, whether you are riding through fog, ice or snow. It has an integrated thermal vest on the torso and hand sleeve to minimize air getting in, so you get the protection of two garments in one! The St Hubert Winter Jacket is made with a micro fleeced Gore-tex soft-shell and a stretchy mix of Italian fabrics that offers a terrific balance between insulation and breathability. It is completely wind resistant and breathable, so you stay warm without overheating.
TEMPERATURE RANGE: -5/5 degrees
ANTWERPEN WIND BLOCK JERSEY
Block the wind. A cold breeze can cut through layers and make you feel cold, but with a windproof finish, you can keep cold air away from your core. The perfect 3-season jersey, from autumn to spring! The Antwerpen Wind Block Cycling Jersey is fully windproof at the front and breathable at the rear with a soft-brushed inner collar for added warmth and comfort. We also included two side zippers to let some air in if you start heating up. Of course, it is water resistant too! Available in: Black, Navy blue, Burgundy
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 2/10 degrees
BOOM PRO JERSEY
Your best training partner, the Boom cycling jersey has been developed for mid-season rides. It provides an exceptionally good fit and excellent breathability, so you stay warm without overheating. The harder you ride, the quicker it dries. It is not windproof and is very breathable, but thanks to a premium soft-fleeced fabric, it feels like a second skin and is the ideal all-rounder. The cut is slim with extra length in the arms to keep you covered when you’re stretched forward into your riding position, and it includes a fully covered zip with an integrated hidden zipped pocket. Available in: Black, Navy blue, Flemish gold.
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 10-18 degrees
