To bike in Vancouver rain, wear waterproof layers: a moisture-wicking base, insulating mid-layer, breathable rain jacket, and waterproof pants. Use fenders, plus waterproof gloves and sealed shoes.

Many women over 50 choose high visibility cycling apparel because it helps them feel more confident riding in traffic and shared spaces. It supports an active, independent lifestyle while making them easier to see. 

When you are more visible, drivers and others on the road can recognize you sooner. That gives them more time to react and helps you feel safer and more confident while riding in daylight, low light, and changing weather conditions.

Merino wool naturally regulates temperature—it keeps cyclists warm in cold conditions (by trapping body heat even when damp) and cool in warm conditions (through breathability and moisture-wicking). Our merino wool technical blend resists overheating, and unlike many synthetics, it doesn’t have an odor after sweating. For variable weather, it’s one of the most versatile base layers for cycling.
