There was a time when cold weather merely meant toughening up, that one was forced to choose between suffering through cold or not riding at all. Given all that we know about fabric technology, breathable materials and insulation, we're proud that winter no longer means freezing while pedaling. It also means if you're the type who wants to get more out of every ride, whether its training benefit or merely experience, there's a family of products designed for you.
The ZERO Collection is made for cold weather riding. The ZERO HL Jacket, for example, is much too warm for say, rides at or above the mid-40s F. This is a collection designed to do away with excuses, to offer zero reasons to stay off the bike. Great stories happen in the darkest, coldest days of riding. The ZERO Collection allows you to get the most out of those days.

ZERO Collection
This jacket is shocking. Not because it looks sci-fi or bears some type of electronic interface to ward away cold. Rather, it's the simplicity with which the ZERO HL pushes back against cold days that surprises. The jacket is light feeling but is simply too warm to ride with any effort if the temps are warmer than 40F. Fleece lined in the right places and designed to feel smooth, never bunching or bulky. Like all of our products, it's worth trying. (And like all of our products, we give you your money back if for any reason, it doesn't live up to your expectations.)
The unique combination of Polartec® Power Shield® Pro outer shell combined with Polartec® High Loft™ in key areas inside, create an incredibly warm, yet light weight and extremely breathable jacket.
- Exceptional warmth to weight
- Ultra soft, non-pilling
- Best in class breathability
Every aspect of the ZERO HL is designed around cold weather function:
- YKK Vislon zippers provide durable and low friction access
- 6 pockets: 3 back + 3 Zippered for carrying every essential
- Extended and HL-lined collar to keep the cold out
The ZERO HL Jacket is designed for the coldest days on the bike, layered only with our Power Wool Base Layers. Whether it be road, gravel or Fat bike, the ZERO HL will keep you warm and dry when the temp drops below freezing.
Tested amidst the worst winter weather we could find in New England, Colorado and Europe, the result is a must-have for winter's worst rides. Incredibly mobile, despite the ability to ward off the coldest temps on the bike, their unparalleled warmth is achieved with a proprietary high-stretch windproof material on the leading panels that still provides excellent freedom of movement and ride comfort.
The ZERO Bib Tight incorporates a high stretch windproof and water resistant fabric on all leading panels for excellent protection from the cold, without the typical constricted range of motion commonly found on "winter" tights.
- Wind proof, water resistant
- Flatlock stitching for minimal bulk
- Microfiber fleeced lined throughout
The ZERO & ZERO Fly Bib Tights incorporate our top tier Signature Chamois, developed with [EIT] for all-day comfort and incredible support.
- Ultra High Density Foam
- Custom designed (and tested), gender specific
- Perforated Super Air base for excellent breathability
One thing that makes the ZERO Bib Tight so special is it's versatility. Their wide temp range and ability to keep warm even when wet make them the go to for comfort when the conditions are less than optimal.
The newly redesigned ZERO Essentials: ZERO+ Glove and ZERO+ Bootie are the result of development and testing in some the harshest New England conditions we could handle. Warmth without bulk, dexterity and protection were the focal points by incorporating some unique fabric technology, they stand on their own in this category.
The key to the "+" in ZERO+ is the unique spacer technology used in the soft shell fabric. The addition of an air gap between the inner and outer faces, creates an insulating boundary layer that regulates temperature without adding bulk.
- Windproof and water resistant face
- Insulating Air Space for warmth without weight
Gloves and shoe covers don't work if they can't withstand the (ab)use. Taped seams, synthetic suede and robust water resistant zippers are all designed to create riding essentials that stand up to the test of time.
There's nothing worse than cold fingers and toes. ZERO+ Essentials are tested to keep your digits warm and dry in cold wintery conditions.
