Cheep, cheep, cheap – spring cycling clothing at a discount

http://ift.tt/1Sljs1O

Spring is here. Bask in the sunshine, feel the warm breezes blow and watch the flowers bloom. Or, as is the case in most of the country, be prepared to go from warm sunshine to blizzard conditions in the blink of an eye. This is spring in the UK after all…

But spring is also a great time to grab a cycling bargain. Lots of high-end kit is now on sale and, let's face it, the weather certainly justifies the purchase of a warm, breathable jacket or new pair of bib tights. If you like, think of it as an investment for next winter.

Winter clothing for cycling

There's also a few great summer items on sale now, so long as you don't mind purchasing last year's kit. With the discounts on offer here, the bargains are so good it's almost like you're saving money as you spend. Well, that's what we tell ourselves anyway.

Castelli Women's Gabba Long Sleeve Jersey £170.00 £124.99

The Gabba jersey could have been designed with British springtime (or, for that matter, autumn) in mind. The jersey fabric is supremely stretchy and windproof, and although it's not designed to be completely waterproof, it can withstand a good amount of wet before giving up.

Its main advantage is that it's very breathable, making this an excellent, versatile choice for days when it's too warm or not wet enough for a full-on waterproof, and you need some protection from he elements.
