Cold-Weather Layering: From Base Layers to Bib Tights
Le Col’s winter range gives you a few clear paths depending on how much warmth and weather protection you need. For your first layer, the Womens ARC Merino Long Sleeve Base Layer and Womens ARC Merino Short Sleeve Base Layer both use a premium merino blend from Italy’s Biella region. The choice is simply sleeve length: long for deeper cold, short when you want to add arm warmers or ride in milder temps.
On your legs, the Hors Categorie Bib Tights offer a relaxed performance fit with a hydrophobic lower leg to shed road spray, while the Womens Pro Bib Tights use Polartec® and Super Roubaix fabrics for thermal regulation without bulk. Both are built for winter training, but the Pro Tights add textured lower-leg panels aimed at reducing drag.
For adjustable coverage, the ARC Merino Leg Warmers use low-profile grippers to stay in place on rough terrain. And when rain or wind hits your feet, the Overshoes use a waterproof fabric with fully taped ankle seams to keep water out while stretching over your shoe.
