The cold season presents athletes with particular challenges, but with the right equipment you can continue to train efficiently and protect yourself optimally. Here we show you how to best equip yourself for cycling and running in winter. In particular, we want to introduce you to the combination of several layers (layering), which is particularly useful in winter.
We will also show you all the Ryzon products that are discounted during Black Week.
1. Cycling – Best of Winter Essentials
The challenge of cycling in winter
Cycling in winter brings with it special challenges: wind, rain, and low temperatures. It is crucial to have the right equipment that protects you from the wind and cold without restricting your freedom of movement.
Layering technique for cyclists
- Base Layer: Moisture-wicking layer that absorbs sweat and transports it to the outside for evaporation.
- Mid Layer: Insulating layer that stores body heat and keeps out the wind.
- Outer Layer: The outermost, robust layer. For example, a windproof and water-repellent jacket to protect you from the elements.

2. Running – Best of Winter Essentials
Why the right winter outfit is important when running
When running in winter, two things are important: comfort and protection from the cold. The wrong equipment can lead to you either freezing or getting too warm. This is where the layering system comes into play – a tried and tested method to be ideally equipped for any weather.
Layering technique for winter running
- Base Layer: Moisture-wicking shirt that transports sweat away from the skin. This ensures dryness and warmth retention.
- Mid Layer: This layer insulates, retains body heat and protects you from the cold.
- Outer Layer: This layer protects you from external influences such as wind and rain, and keeps them out.
