After one of the hottest summers Britain has experienced in around 40 years, autumn is well and truly here in the northern hemisphere.

The nights are drawing in and soon we will be swapping out our summer wardrobe for winter bib tights and base layers.

Italian clothing brand Sportful has sent some of their highlights from this season's collection, including a rain jacket with an insulated chest, reflective bib tights, and a jacket you can take the lid off - sort of.

Sportful has a close working relationship with their professional sponsored teams Bora-Hansgrohe, Bahrain-Merida and Trek Drops.

The company says the likes of Peter Sagan and Vincenzo Nibali have a direct input into many of the products, training in this season's collection throughout the winter of 2017 and providing vital development feedback before the collection hits retailers this autumn.
