Get ready for winter with affordable performance kit from Altura
Cycling brand Altura offers a range of products that are ideal for commuting and leisure through the autumn and winter. Affordable clothing, equipment and accessories combine to keep riders and their gear comfortable, visible and protected from the elements.
The lightweight Nevis jacket is a versatile shell, made out of Altura’s own waterproof and breathable fabric, with a PFC-free durable water repellent coating. Features include a helmet compatible hood, adjustable hem and reflective print and details. There’s a zipped chest pocket, into which the jacket packs away for compact storage when it’s not being worn. The Nevis has a relaxed fit, ideal for using with a wide range of business or casual outfits, and it is available in men’s and women’s specific styles. At £75, it’s a very accessible weatherproof jacket.
The new Altura Nevis gloves are waterproof and warm, the perfect combination for winter cycling. The waterproof and breathable outer and synthetic insulation keep hands and fingers comfortable when the temperature drops. A durable overlay with a tactile face protects palms and improves grip, while the long gauntlets with elasticated wrists add more protection from the elements. At £30, the Nevis gloves offer excellent value for the features and performance, and are available in a range of sizes from XS to XL.
Designed for facing the autumn and winter elements head-on, the Thunderstorm City backpack keeps gear dry and secure during a commute or while enjoying a leisure ride. The robust waterproof material and roll-top closure repel the rain and protect belongings, even in heavy downpours, while Altura’s Draft Venting back system and adjustable chest and waist straps deliver all-day comfort on the move. Inside, the 30L capacity provides plenty of room for kit, whether heading to work, the gym or elsewhere, and a padded laptop sleeve keeps technology protected and secure. Other features include reflective detailing and light attachment points, for added visibility in the dark. The Thunderstorm City is great value for money at £85.
