A few days ago we learned about the new Cold Series 23 from Gobik for the winter between 2022 and 2023 and we want to share some conclusions that can surely give the measure of the changes and efforts that the brand has made for these coming months.
In this walk through the interiors of the new collection, we had a travel companion, Angel Lencinafrom the production department of the company, who gave us a glimpse of what is already available at points of sale and on the web: "Here we have a collection that is very representative of what we are and have been doing for a long time. In that sense, it can be considered continuous, to a certain extent, but always with a refreshment in some graphic identities that make us recognizable when you go out on the road and the roads".
Angel updated us on the vertexes on which the new Cold Series 23:
A total commitment to the women's cyclingWe have doubled the women's references," says Angel. "We have doubled the female references" says Angel.

Journey to the heart of the product
Now let us go down to product detail to give an account of the most notable new features with a quick insight from our Brand tester, Jose "Llargo"..
Vest “Eminent”
"Thermal and lightweight double-layer piece, windproof and rainproof. Its interior is thermoregulated with Polartec® Alpha®a technology conceived for the US special forces, which required superior insulation, with optimum breathability in continuous start and stop conditions in combat".
"It is a fill that combines hydrophobic fibers, with a solid mesh core to create active air circulation. It is very lightweight and compressible and wicks away moisture generated by exertion instantly."
"Ideal for cool to very cold temperatures, or days with high thermal variability. Its insulation and thermoregulation protects chest and abdomen in the early, cold hours of the morning or on the descent of a mountain pass."
T-shirt "Cell Skin”
"Another garment in collaboration with Polartec®this time with their fabric Delta™made for intermediate seasons, such as spring and autumn. For outings of all types and conditions."
"Let's go with the Polartec® Delta™The "Go with it", a real revolution in breathability and temperature regulation, working more efficiently than second-skin fabrics, thanks to a hexagonal structure that raises the points of contact with the skin, increasing the flow of air inside, for faster moisture dispersion and less adherence".
"Keep in mind that evaporative cooling is the most important way our bodies remove excess heat during exercise. That's the reason we sweat, as our sweat evaporates, latent heat is removed from the surface of the skin."
Jacket "Unbeat”
"Made for demanding mountain bike or gravel routes, with changing weather conditions. Windproof fabric, lightweight, foldable and with adjustable blizzard hood, on Ripstop Nylon, very resistant and with a water repellent treatment. It is designed to cope with cool to warm temperatures, wind or light rain."
"Its material is durable and tear resistant, for wooded or leafy areas, without fear of rubbing vegetation, what a good biker or gravel rider is looking for."
"Its tight construction does not bother, no matter if sometimes you have to dismount and walk, its studied ergonomics make it perfect for both on and off the bike, you can even wear it casually."
Jacket "EXO"
"It's the answer to cycling in extreme rain conditions. Constructed with a combination of laminated fabrics and fully heat-sealed, it incorporates DVstorm™ membrane from eVent®a completely water and wind repellent material, capable of optimal breathability and sweat evacuation."
"It is very elastic in areas that require mobility, greatly increasing walking comfort."
"It includes an additional Velcro® closure, to be able to close the jacket in special situations, such as going down a pass or with thick gloves. And also a rear skirt, which will prevent the usual splashes from the rear wheel."

Rain jacket "Pluvia"in yellow Citronell
"Designed for sudden weather changes, common on a mountain pass or on a long autumn or spring ride. Allows pedaling in wind, light to moderate rain, with front, rear and side reflectives. High visibility version in yellow."
"Lightshell fabric with hydrophobic membrane, which offers fantastic technical characteristics, as it is lightweight, rain resistant (10,000 mm water column) and breathable."
"Once the downpour has passed, thanks to its quick drying, it can be folded away in its inner mesh pocket."
"Important the issue of closures: all seams are thermosealed and on the shoulders an additional silicone reinforcement is included. Even the SBS zipper is rain and wind sealed with top and bottom placket to prevent chafing."
Gloves "Zero”
"Here are the warmest gloves created to date by. Gobik. They are for a winter of very low temperatures and extreme conditions, with thermal insulation. Primaloft® Goldwindproof and rain resistant.
"With them we carry a high thermal protection against deep winter days, without compromising control over the bike. That's why they are ideal for outings and training rides on cold days with wind, light rain or even a little snowfall."
"Their insulating padding is made of Primaloft® Goldwhich, with its ultra-thin fibers, traps body heat, keeping the interior thermally regulated and expelling moisture to the outer layers, thanks to its hydrophobicity. A conductive fabric is used at the end of the index finger and thumb that allows the use of devices with touch screens."
