You won’t get far before eyeing someone in a piece of cycling kit by Altura and we think it’s some of the following pieces which make this UK-based brand one of the most popular cycle wear labels in the industry.
Waterproof jackets
Made from tough polyester with a fleece-lined collar and zips under the armpits to help with temperature control, the Night Vision Evo jacket is among Altura’s most popular.
It’s easy to see why – literally. Not only will its reflective strips help you stand out to even the most unobservant pedestrian, it also comes with a heap of savvy extras, such as Velcro tabs for LED lights.
Because it’s completely waterproof, it’s a favourite for commuting on those rainy mornings, though the loose fit and relative thickness may not suit someone.
Super-comfy jerseys
If you’re after something a little lighter, Altura’s Night Vision range also boasts a long-sleeve jersey that’ll keep you warm in cooler weather without making you too hot under the collar. It’s also one of many pieces which has been successfully revamped for this season!
It has three huge pockets for water bottles, snacks and anything else you need in grabbing range, while a seriously-comfy fleece lining makes wearing this a bit of a treat.
Now though, unlike bigger brother, the Night Vision jacket, this jersey won’t provide total protection against the elements but is ideal for transitional conditions and offers excellent breathability.
Commuter Padded Tights
Altura’s padded waist tights are a good bet for a range of weather conditions. Using thermosuede fabrics, it will keep you warm on those chilly commutes and to make sure you are also seen by surrounding traffic, Altura use their NV360 technology high-vis prints on the thighs offering 360 degree reflectivity for maximum dark light visibility.
With such a decent spread of reflective panels, particularly in combination with the jersey or jacket, Altura’s Night Vision range really is the go-to range for winter commuting.
