Pogies – Cycling Rochester NY

1. Cobrafist Cycling Pogie

These babies keep the hands free from numbing, but also provide adequate ventilation to keep hands from sweating. It’s constructed with a wind-resistant outer shell, insulation, and water-resistant zipper vents. A foam handlebar attachment keeps each pogie in the proper position, while also sealing the handlebars and control cables on either end. Other features include: inner pockets for stashing snacks or extra gear while riding, AND elastic drawstrings around the wrists to keep cold air from seeping inside. Okay, now that the hands are covered, let’s move on to face and neck!

Balaclava – Cycling Rochester NY

2. Lung Cookie Balaclava

You’ve seen balaclavas before (maybe you didn’t know that’s what they’re called, but you’ve seen them). These head-&-neck-covering face masks make cold winter cycling easy on sensitive areas like ears, nose, and neck. The Lung Cookie is made of 100% merino wool and wind-resistant, flat-lock stitching that wicks away moisture. A mesh cover over the mouth ensures easy breathability. It also features a nice, long neck-drape to keep chills out no matter which way the head turns. A unique feature of this balaclava is the packable brim that allows for stowage.

Gaiters – Cycling Rochester NY

3. Bergraven Cycling Gaiter

Hands? Check. Head? Check. What about legs? If you’re unfamiliar with gaiters, they are similar to leggings, but for much harsher weather conditions. Bergraven gaiters are intentionally designed for fatbiking. Their wind-resistant outer shell and insulated knee-high construction prevent cold and snow from infiltrating footwear. This gaiter also features a durable stretch panel to protect shin/ankle material from lodging into bike peddles and chains. It also has hooks that loop under the boot to lock the gaiter securely in place.
