Le Col has revamped its Autumn Winter 2018 collection, with material advances and all new items.
The release is split over three collections: the HC range, the Pro range and the Sport range.
The HC range is designed to be versatile for broad conditions, with an overarching function to keep the rider comfortable in the saddle over long periods.
The Pro range is designed for speed and efficiency, with garments made for race days as well as out-and-out performance.
The Sport range is a more relaxed cut than the other ranges, and keeps core practicality at the forefront.
Yanto Barker, Le Col founder and ex-Team GB cyclist says: “This range represents a shift in my experience as a rider, the products in our Autumn Winter 2018 range are now superior to any that I wore in my career.
“In the past we have tried to make products as good as the professionals have, now they are even better.”
The items include the redesigned HC Jacket, which has been updated with reflective detailing for greater visibility in low light conditions.
Following testing by pro teams including Team Wiggins, Le Col has also introduced the Aqua Zero Gilet.
Based on the Aqua Zero Long Sleeve Jersey, the gilet features similar material construction and offers riders the chance to layer effectively whatever weather condition.
