Temperature: 5 to 15 degrees, a windy day but dry!

A crisp autumn day, it remains dry and there is a strengthening wind from the south. You must be prepared for this wind, before you are surprised by the force and cold of the wind. It is therefore important to choose the right cycling shirt, we recommend that you wear a windproof cycling shirt or a cycling jacket with a base layer that gives you sufficient ventilation!

Temperature: 5 to 15 degrees, a typical Dutch day! Wind & rain….

As Dutch people, we are now used to it and are no longer shocked by a wet gust of wind in our face when we get on our bike. But to be well prepared, we advise you to start with a base layer to keep the cold out. If it is below 10 degrees, choose a base layer with long sleeves! You put on a cycling shirt over that, with short or long sleeves. With regard to waterproof clothing, it depends on the precipitation, with light precipitation a normal cycling jacket will suffice. But in heavy rain we recommend that you go for a waterproof cycling jacket with cycling pants that will keep you dry while cycling!

Temperature: -5 to 5 degrees, a cold & chilly day!

It's really starting to get cold now, but that doesn't stop you from getting on your bike. Which cycling shirt do you choose? And what else do you need to wear to have a nice ride? Start with a base layer, a thermal shirt with long sleeves is not an unnecessary luxury. In addition, choose warm socks, a cycling shirt with long sleeves and lined pants that keep your waist and legs warm. Last but not least, put on lined gloves with long fingers and a hat. This way you are destined to withstand the Dutch cold!
