Rider in the Velocio LUXE Air Jacket on the bike
Velocio · Autumn/Winter 2026

Weather Roulette

Frost at 7am, sunshine by 11, a squall on the way home. Here’s how to dress for a British autumn.

The seasons are changing. Don’t let that stop your rides. Velocio’s new Autumn/Winter 2026 collection puts warmth where the wind hits and ventilation where you sweat, so you stay comfortable on cold descents without cooking yourself on the climbs.

Below you’ll find what’s new this season, followed by our ride-by-ride guide to what to wear as the temperature drops, from crisp September mornings to proper winter club runs.

New this season

Body-mapped insulation, merino blends and breathable panels across the LUXE, ONE and TRAIL ranges.

Velocio Women's LUXE Air Vest in Dark SulphurVelocio Women's LUXE Air Jacket in Dark Slate

LUXE Air

The headline act. 80g PrimaLoft Active insulation and a wind-resistant recycled shell across the front, with a breathable fleece back and underarms so heat and moisture can escape. The jacket has the close feel of a long-sleeve jersey; the vest gives you core warmth with free arms. Two-way zips, in Dark Slate and Dark Sulphur.

Velocio Alpha Air Jacket in Plum Truffle

Alpha Air

Lightweight insulation in a close cycling fit, designed to combine winter warmth with the breathability you need for long, steady miles.

What to wear: a ride-by-ride guide

There’s no single perfect winter kit. It depends on the day, the distance and how hard you’re riding. Here’s how we’d put it together.

Velocio LUXE Ultralight Vest in Plum Truffle
What to wearMild, breezy, dry
Roughly 12–16°C

Don’t put your summer kit away yet. A couple of smart accessories turn what you already own into something that adapts to cooler starts. Roll the warmers down or stuff the vest in a pocket once the sun shows up.

Velocio Men's LUXE Ultralight Jacket

LUXE Ultralight

Add the LUXE Ultralight Jacket or Vest as a light outer layer for breezy days. It packs down small enough to live in a jersey pocket until you need it.

Velocio Women's LUXE Merino Long Sleeve in Rock Ridge
What to wearLong, cool days
Roughly 8–12°C

Full coverage without heavy insulation. A merino long sleeve and full-length bib tights make a comfortable base for long autumn miles, and the new LUXE Air Vest adds core warmth for cold descents without trapping heat on the climbs.

The go-to pairing

The compressive LUXE Bib Tight and the merino LUXE Long Sleeve are made for each other: warm enough for a chilly start, breathable enough for a hard effort.

When the frost hangs around and the roads stay wet, it’s time to layer properly. Start with the LUXE Thermal Long Sleeve, add the LUXE Air Jacket on top and choose full-length or 3/4 thermal bib tights. Then finish with the details that matter in a British winter: warm hands, a covered neck and dry feet.

Multi-length options

Thermal bib tights come in full-length and 3/4 versions. Go 3/4 for cold but dry days when you want a little more freedom at the ankle, and full-length when it’s properly bitter.

All autumn and winter

For shorter, regular rides where you want one versatile kit that just works. The ONE range brings Velocio’s higher-end thinking to everyday riding: a warm long sleeve, the new ONE Thermal Bib Tights and the ONE Jacket for wind and showers.

ONE Jacket

A versatile jacket for unsettled weather, combining wind protection with a breathable build to cover a broad range of riding conditions.

Velocio Men's TRAIL Merino Long Sleeve in Deep Forest
What to wearOff-road: gravel and trail
Muddy months

Off-road you’re working harder at lower speeds, so breathability matters even more. The new TRAIL Merino Long Sleeve blocks the wind up front and dumps heat out the back. Pair it with the lightweight Ultralight MTB Pant for full leg coverage.

A 75/25 polyamide/merino blend: heavyweight grid knit on the front and arms to block the wind, lighter merino mesh on the back to vent. In Black, Rock Ridge and Deep Forest.
