Two Endura garments to get you out of these cycling winter days
In a couple of years Endura will celebrate three decades of life, dressing up the dreams of many Scottish amateur cyclists, then, globally, today.
Its constant evolution made it spend a few years on the World Tour, taking advantage of every suggestion and technology that was put on the road, thanks in part to Movistar who took these garments to number one in the world.
Today Endura continues to be a brand with a great presence in the market, maintaining great competitiveness in the creation of garments for the harshest winter, as a result of the advice provided by prescribers of the level of Marcel Kittel.
In the depths of a winter in which the cyclist is demanding a plus in the quality of their clothing, we tested a couple of Endura pieces on a performance ladder for cold or very cold environments.
The Pro SL Jacket
For high temperatures, we know this jacket, made of a padded material, pleasant thickness, very adjustable with inner thermal lining.
Plush on the inside, especially in its intermediate section, it protects the chest from the wind and cold.
Attached to the arms, its final closure fits perfectly with the gloves so that there is no gap through which air enters.
The inner hem is elastic and adjustable, with silicone on the sides, at the waist
In the PRO SL range there is room for all types of users, from the novice to the most experienced, and everyone in between.
The aim is comfort and high performance mixed with a top design, in our case, as you can see, a green jacket with a succession of horizontal lines that brings to mind a certain resemblance to those Japanese keirin races in which cyclists let themselves go with bright colors.
FS260 jersey
The other piece is a phosphorescent jersey -with the extra visibility that this implies- that is comfortable, very comfortable.
Its use allows a range of cool temperatures, not freezing.
First, its simple line proposes an austere but elegant style, even for a color that surely not everyone likes.
Then there is the cycling performance.
In temperatures around ten degrees, the piece responds very well, with a windproof thermal interior for cold people like a server.
That is to say, it is not windproof, but it is warm in winters that are not very strong.
There is an aspect that we value a lot, the fit, almost overlapping the neck, very warm and closed, we are not going to need a bandana at all.
The sleeves and cuffs fit well, although without the obsession of avoiding the slightest crease, on the contrary, you feel free and the garment is supportive.
Let's remember that the FS260 line is based on technologies and appearance on the PRO SL to go well together.
