Merino wool cycling jersey for cosy winter riding

Merino cycling jersey

Merino wool is breathable, naturally anti-bacterial, lightweight and soft – qualities that make it ideally suited to cycling wear.

dhb have chosen a mid-weight Merino, blended polyamide to allow for a snug fit and added a polypropylene layer on the inside of the fabric to help moisture evaporate quicker.

We have a dhb merino long-sleeve jersey worth £80 to give away. Add a little luxury to your next ride or put it under the tree for a loved one. To enter the draw, simply leave us a comment below and specify the size you’d like (XS/S/M/L/XL/2XL) – we’ll pick a winner next week.

ETA cycle insurance

Protect your bicycle this winter

On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. How much excess you will be charged is just one of the things that varies wildly between providers. Another is so called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use this term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it.

ETA cycle insurance has a low excess and offers new-for-old for life – however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model. Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future.
