Team GB Great Britain Pro Issue Ultimate Heavy Winter Cycling Jacket by Kalas

The big one. Maximum insulation and protection for the coldest days Britain's elite riders have to face.

The Team GB Great Britain Pro Issue Ultimate Heavy Winter Cycling Jacket sits at the very top of the team's cold weather wardrobe. Manufactured by Kalas, this is the serious deep winter option for days when a standard thermal jacket simply isn't enough.

Designed for long hours training through freezing temperatures, the jacket uses a heavily insulated construction to retain warmth around the core while providing substantial protection from the relentless wind chill created when riding at speed.

This is the jacket for freezing early morning starts, long winter endurance sessions and brutally cold descents. The substantial construction provides significantly more protection than a conventional long sleeve jersey or midweight winter jacket, allowing riders to keep training when temperatures really fall.

Despite the level of insulation, this remains a piece of professional cycling equipment. The cut is shaped around the riding position, keeping unnecessary fabric under control while allowing appropriate winter base layers underneath.

A high protective collar helps seal out cold air around the neck, while the full length front zip gives the rider an easy way to regulate temperature when the road turns uphill or the intensity increases.

Finished in the unmistakable Great Britain national team design, this is one of the most impressive pieces of winter equipment in the Team GB wardrobe.

The Ultimate Winter Jacket

There are winter jackets, and then there are jackets for the days when you look outside and seriously consider getting back into bed.

This is the latter.

Professional riders cannot simply skip weeks of training because temperatures have collapsed. They still need to complete five and six hour endurance rides through the depths of winter, often starting early in the morning when conditions are at their coldest.

This heavyweight jacket provides the serious insulation and protection required for exactly those days.

Heavyweight Means Heavyweight

If you run cold, this is the Team GB jacket to choose.

Compared with the standard Team GB winter thermal jacket, expect considerably greater insulation and a more substantial feel. It is designed around maximum cold weather protection rather than being a lightweight piece for mild spring and autumn conditions.

Pair it with a proper thermal base layer and you have a serious setup for long winter rides when temperatures are approaching their lowest.

IMPORTANT SIZE GUIDE

Professional team issue sizing can differ considerably from standard retail sizing. We strongly recommend using the rider's height and weight as your primary guide rather than relying solely on the size printed on the label.

This kit was issued to a rider approximately:

• Height: 173 cm
• Weight: 64 kg

If you are close to these measurements, they provide the best indication of how the garment is intended to fit.

As a heavyweight winter jacket, there is naturally more room than in an aero jersey or race suit to accommodate winter layers underneath, but the overall cut remains distinctly professional and cycling specific.

Genuine Great Britain Team Issue

Specialist national team winter equipment is produced in extremely limited quantities and is rarely seen outside the professional programme.

This is a particularly special piece of Team GB kit, combining genuine national team provenance with a jacket that can actually transform those freezing winter rides.

Condition

Available in both new and rider used condition depending on the individual garment.

When winter throws everything at you, reach for the biggest jacket in the Team GB wardrobe.
