5 highlights of the Vulpine autumn/winter range + video

Cycle clothing brand Vulpine has just released its autumn/winter range and here are five of the most interesting looking pieces.

1 Jinzu Raw Selvedge Cycling Jeans £179

The Jinzu Raw Selvedge Jeans are made from raw 12oz Japanese denim, from beside the Jinzu River. They’re cut specifically for cycling and come a diamond gusset for comfort in the saddle.

If you want cushioning, Vupline suggest you team them up with their padded Merino Boxers (£45)

Selvedge refers to a self-finished edge of the denim – which is the white-edge, in this case, when you turn up the hem.

2 Ultralight Thermal Quilted Jacket £169

The new jacket is designed to be warm and windproof for riding in cold weather. It’s quilted with Primaloft Gold insulation, the highest level of Primaloft which is breathable and (as the jacket name implies) lightweight. The outer fabric is said to be water resistant, as is the Primaloft Gold, and it dries fast.

Nick at Vulpine says that the thermal Jacket is cut loose for heavy layers and that many cyclists will prefer to size down for a slimmer fit with a single base layer.

3 Ultralight Thermal Quilted Gilet £119

As you might expect, the Ultralight Quilted Thermal Gilet is similar to the jacket (above) but with an absence of sleeves. The shoulders, like those of the jacket, are designed to be tough for coping with backpack and messenger bag straps.

4 Polka Cotton Cap £15

This is a classic cotton cycling cap although Vulpine reckon it’s the attention to detail that sets it apart from the crowd – and the polka dots. It comes in green, orange and red options.

5 Dogtooth Merino Silk Socks £25

Vulpine reckon that the combination of merino wool and silk means these draw moisture off the skin effectively. They’re intended to be comfortable even when wet.

Plus

Vulpine’s core lines return, with the Epic Cotton range in new colours for the urban styled Harrington Rain Jacket (£195), the more feature-laden distance riding Original Rain Jacket (£199), Cotton Rain Trousers (£139), and Cotton Rain Shorts (£115).
