Product Spotlight: Stay Warm This Winter with Leatt
They say your summer form is dependent on what you do in winter. They are not wrong.
Cold hands, arms and chests are the bane of winter riding. If you’re in the Cape – not only is it chilly, there’s also a bit of water and rain to deal with. In these conditions getting your body climate just right makes the world of difference to the enjoyment of your ride and sometimes it’s just a single garment in your wardrobe that makes that difference. We trawled through Leatt’s extensive collection of gear to spotlight a few items that might help you get out and ride, when the conditions are sub-optimal.
