Women’s cycling kit matters, because having uncomfortable clothing, or a women’s cycling jersey that causes chaffing or doesn’t offer support, can turn an enjoyable ride into an ordeal.
The Alé Future Nordik Lady jacket is a superb winter garment, and extremely useful for other cold days in the hills.
Who says you can’t look stylish in cold weather and still perfom? With this Winter Cycling Jacket and Tights, you can still resume your workouts without feeling too cold nor too hot at all. Plus, the overall aesthetics and perfect color combination of the jacket and tights will make you look super chic
Those very clever and extremely stylish people at Italian brand ALÉ have come up with something extra special this winter. We thought that you deserved a look and so here’s a preview
ALÉ Cycling is famous for its high quality Italian material and a variety of colours and prints. This spring I had the chance to review the new summer 2019 Sunset cycling kit from ALÉ
Biehler are at the cutting edge of technicity and design in cycling clothing. They seem to be constantly striving to produce even better garments, that can perform at the highest level and in the toughest conditions.
Their lightweight Malibu windproof jacket is a great example of the Biehler approach to cycle clothing, being super technical, super strong, a super cool design and fitting well with other garments across the current range.
The lightand top quality material is tightly woven and does the windproofing job well, also keeping a light shower at bay when required. And, for the wicking and breathability, Biehler have used their mesh based cloth to the side panels, under the arms and across the rear shoulders. A heavier cloth at the front is complimented by lighter sleeves that are cut tight and shaped for racing, along with the form fitting overall design.
There’s a large zipped pocket to the rear, in which you can either fold the jacket or keep a few goodies.
I also love the super cool gradient colours, with the soft blue merging into the bright reds, creating a modern and stylish cycling canvas.
The collar is cut high to help keep the winds away, helping you to perform in all conditions. Best of all, the close fitting cut means there’s no flapping fabric, just a sleek and stylish cyclist.
Price wise, this is a high end garment, but we feel it’s strong, well put together and very stylish, and it’s stood up to some harsh testing here in the Yorkshire Dales – well done Biehler.
“Cycling during autumn is like being in a fairy tale especially on a mountain-bike. In the forest, multiple colours of the leaves and trees make it really special and enjoyable to ride there. Riding in the G4 cycling kit was the piece that completed the perfect puzzle. Once the colours of spring start to bloom too, the forests once again begin to come to life.”
This new collection of top-of-the-range ladies’ jackets embodies the spirit of G4’s “la performance elegante”. The Denim 3 in 1 winter jacket has triple innovative layers and will meet all the requirements.
I appreciate it because nowadays not enough attention is given to women’s cycling wear and it’s rare to find elegant, stylish, feminine kit. The women’s Denim Collection addresses this issue and it’s just the right image for a sophisticated, modern cyclist. It has a smart, up-to-date look to a technical garment to give a top-performing jacket matching urban style.
G4’s radical approach to technical clothing is to conquer any climatic situation with style and comfort irrespective of whether you’re out training, walking or riding. From a technical point of view, even if it’s pouring or blowing a gale, this jacket’s waterproof and windproof base layer Nano-Tex membrane will provide absolute protection and let you to ride in comfort. Inside, its second layer is an internal vest which protects your torso from the coldest of winter conditions, or cold autumn and early spring rides out into the hills.
The third one is an integrated base layer in the back of the jacket to ensure breathability and heat regulation.. Inside and out, this elegant jacket fulfils all your needs. G4 thought of everything, particularly the safety, by increasing the visibility on the road with reflective panels on the elbows and pockets, as well as on the front and back of the jacket. The bright colours of this Denim jacket are your best defence.
Even in winter and the cold days of early spring, I look to feel good and look stylish; this technical jacket from G4 allows me to have both –performance and style … because I’m worth it!
