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

Silverline sits second in Giordana's line but that does it an injustice.

The fit is as good as all but the Etxeondo Summum jacket, and despite the fact that the jacket is almost 90 per cent windproof, we've left it on even when the crisp mornings have turned into mild afternoons; testament to the breathability of the windproof membrane.

Verdict

It's plenty warm enough for cold days too and Giordana got the cut of their garments sorted years ago, so there's no danger of neck draughts or exposed wrists. As close to perfect as it gets.

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.
