The 2026 Fall/Winter Collections: Brave the Cold in Style!
When the weather turns, temperatures drop, and the wind picks up, one thing is guaranteed to change: your choice of cycling kit. At Mantel, we believe there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. With the new 2026 winter collection, you will be fully prepared for everything autumn and winter throw your way—from crisp morning rides to biting easterly winds and soaking wet roads.
In this overview, we take a close look at the latest fall and winter collections from top brands like GripGrab, Castelli, ASSOS, Rogelli, Rapha, 21Virages, and Sportful. Whether you are looking for a breathable long-sleeve jersey, a windproof and water-repellent winter jacket, or warm padded bib tights for men or women—after reading this Buyer’s Guide, you will know exactly which garments perfectly match your cycling goals.
GripGrab – Maximum protection against wind, cold and rain
If one brand knows how to survive a harsh Northern European winter, it’s GripGrab. While best known for their indestructible gloves and overshoes, their cold-weather clothing line is equally well thought out.
The GripGrab PACR Thermal long-sleeve jersey is an ideal choice for chilly autumn rides. While the soft fleece lining on the inside keeps your core comfortably warm, the jersey’s main fabric quickly wicks away sweat when you push hard on a climb.
For your legs, pair this jersey with the GripGrab Ride Thermal bib tight. It features a soft, comfortable insulating layer and a seat pad that stays comfortable even after hours in the saddle.
If you often ride through wet countryside or on damp roads, you absolutely need the GripGrab Ride 2 Waterproof Road overshoes. They keep out cold spray and wind so your toes don’t turn into icicles.

The flagship piece for the coldest days is the Castelli Espresso 2 jacket. This winter jacket blocks biting winds across your chest while remaining highly breathable on the back—keeping you warm without feeling clammy.
Looking for a great mid-layer for milder winter days or high-intensity interval sessions? We recommend the Castelli Competizione Thermal LS jersey.
Complete your outfit with the Castelli Sorpasso bib tight, which is exceptionally popular with our customers thanks to its high-quality chamois pad and water-repellent fabric in key areas.

During the pandemic, when it was only possible to do individual sports, I first discovered road cycling. After buying my first road bike, I was soon hooked and quickly evolved from riding laps in my local area to heading for some hills and even spending a holiday cycling in the French Alps. Nothing beats riding in the mountains and enjoying those magnificent views! When I was able to turn my hobby into a job at Mantel, it really felt as a full circle moment for me.
