These long cycling shorts come in a casual cut and with a lot of style. It offers not only a cool look but also the most protection.

Softshell pants
Particularly in winter, the softshell pants oht find their use. They keep you warm and are water repellent. A high breathability is also important here, because who exerts himself also comes with ice and snow into the sweat.
Rain pants

They are usually cut a little wider, so that they can be easily pulled over your shoes and clothes. So there is no need to change completely and you can make the rain pants ready for use in no time.

A biblong is always a good option when it's too nippy for shorts. It's basically identical to the popular bibshort, but with long legs and usually also with two loops that you pull over your shoulders like suspenders. The fabric is pulled up further, so your back and hips are also warmed underneath.
