The Ultimate Cold-Weather Riding Setup
At Throttlerz, performance isn’t seasonal—it’s constant. Whether you’re conquering the winter highways or navigating early morning city rides, your gear defines how far and how comfortably you go. In this lookbook feature, we’re spotlighting a cold-weather riding ensemble that blends functionality, protection, and style—meticulously chosen for riders who don’t hit pause when the mercury drops.
This gear kit is built around layering—an essential strategy for motorcyclists riding in cold or unpredictable climates. Let’s break down each component of this all-black, performance-focused winter riding look:
3. Viaterra B100 Fleece Base Layer – Bottom: Insulation for the Lower Half
Pairing seamlessly with the top, the Viaterra B100 Fleece Base Layer – Bottom completes the cold-weather base layer system. Cold legs can sap your energy and concentration during winter rides. This fleece bottom solves that by creating a thermal barrier between you and the chill, without feeling bulky under riding pants.
Its form-fitting design ensures there’s no unnecessary bunching at the knees or hips—making it ideal for long-distance travel or high-movement riding like ADV touring or corner carving. Breathable, lightweight, and extremely warm, this bottom layer is a rider’s secret weapon for all-day winter comfort.
Key Features:
Ultra-soft brushed fleece for maximum insulation
Ergonomic cut with minimal seams for reduced chafing
Flatlock stitching for superior comfort
Excellent moisture management
Perfect for: Extended winter rides, high-altitude tours, and urban commuting in cold weather.
1. Alpinestars Balaclava – Lightweight Coverage, Maximum Efficiency
The Alpinestars Balaclava is a staple for cold-weather riding. Designed to be worn under the helmet, it offers complete head and neck coverage without adding bulk. Constructed from a moisture-wicking, stretchable synthetic fabric, the balaclava keeps you warm without overheating—perfect for both long-haul and short-commute rides.
What sets this apart is its ergonomic fit. It hugs your contours comfortably, eliminating pressure points or fabric bunching inside the helmet. Whether you’re on a sportbike or an ADV tourer, this balaclava ensures that cold air doesn’t creep in through your helmet vents or jacket collar.
Key Features:
Lightweight, breathable material
Moisture-wicking and quick-drying
Seamless comfort under helmets
Full face and neck protection
Perfect for: Riders seeking an invisible but critical layer of winter protection.
2. Viaterra B100 Fleece Base Layer – Top: Warmth Starts From Within
The Viaterra B100 Fleece Base Layer – Top is the heart of this winter setup. Built for motorcyclists who need warmth without compromising freedom of movement, the fleece top acts as the perfect midweight insulation layer.
Made from high-quality polyester fleece, this base layer is engineered to trap body heat while offering excellent breathability. The brushed interior feels soft against the skin, preventing irritation during long rides. Unlike bulky sweaters or hoodies that can restrict motion or create friction under riding jackets, the B100 fleece is tailored for a snug, athletic fit that moves with you.
Key Features:
100% breathable fleece material
Designed for a snug yet comfortable fit
Anti-bacterial and quick-dry treatment
Ideal for layering under a riding jacket
Perfect for: Riders who demand serious thermal performance under their protective gear.
Why Layering Matters for Riders
Layering is more than a fashion or comfort choice—it’s a technical solution to body temperature regulation. Motorcycle riding involves exposure to wind chill, road vibrations, and varied body movements. The correct base layers, like the Viaterra B100 fleece, wick moisture away from the body, trap essential warmth, and create a breathable barrier. Paired with gloves and accessories designed for winter, you stay protected and focused throughout your journey.
This ensemble allows you to adapt to different riding conditions, whether it’s a chilly start that warms up mid-day or a high-altitude ride where every degree counts.
Final Thoughts
Every piece in this setup has been selected with purpose—to support, protect, and enhance your cold-weather riding experience. These are not just accessories; they’re tools engineered for riders who take their craft seriously. From the insulating power of Viaterra’s fleece layers to the precise control of Kruger gloves and the reliable warmth of the Alpinestars Balaclava, this is gear you can count on—ride after ride.
