Bare minimum for the winter

See verdict and spec

As the mercury plummets, clothing choices become more important if you want to keep riding in relative comfort — we look at seven outer layers that could be your best friends this winter

Thinner and far more breathable than anything else in this test, the dhb Windslam Roubaix is included as it's an example of the bare minimum you should be thinking of wearing come the colder months.

Its simple design not only keeps costs down but also makes for an exceptionally close fit.

Verdict

Paired with a warmer base layer, it can be worn when the temperature is in single figures if it's dry, especially when going hard. Throw on your windproof packable shell and you get even more wear from it.

Really bargain jacket. I have worn it with a decent baselayer on their own and it really worked for me. I have worn it with a windproof over jacket and I found that the oevr jacket really got wet on the inside back; says at lot for the sweat transference of the dhb Roubaix. I reackon it's good value and would buy again.

You can currently pick this up from Evans Cycles for £60. Given the surprising quality of this that is an absolute bargain! It's super warm with just a base layer underneath and I've found the fit to be excellent particularly since Bontrager are marketing it as an MB jacket. The Orange is nice and visible as well without being (too) gaudy.
