“B###dy Love winter- mint time for riding”
Tommy C- Radical film maker
Winter is the best time for riding... Time to skill up at your local trails as they get even more technical. The little white roots you've been railing all summer have polished up into slip and slides, loose dirt and mud inspires drifts that Vin Diesel would be proud of and trails bursting with "fair weather riders" in the summer become ghost towns for you to shred in peace.
But it's a challenge to the rider psyche, you need to have the right kit to keep you warm (but not too warm), dry and motivated to keep on shredding. Key to winter shredding success is layering up the right kit:
- Base-layer: Merino Baselayer
- Mid-layer: Blackline jersey
- Outer-layer: Blackline Waterproof Jacket or Soft shell- if its really cold
- Bib-shorts: Nukeproof Bib Shorts
- Trail Pants: Blackline Trail Pants
- Gloves: Blackline Winter gloves (Stash a spare pair in your bibs)
- Socks: Nukeproof Merino socks- but in the worst conditions you may require a waterproof variants
- Decent shoes: Something that may help keep some of the cold/ water out
- Accessories: A buff/ riding glasses and plenty of snacks and water!
- Post ride: A change of clothes for post ride!

The DWR finish will give you extra protection from showers or muddy trails won't catch you out either. The underarm vents will also give you the added benefit of cooling airflow.
The Blackline jacket is specifically cut for riding with a long drop hem to keep you protected. The Cut is designed to give you plenty of room to move on the bike, allowing you to concentrate on technical terrain ahead. The adjustable over helmet hood means you can batten down the hatches when the worst of the weather hits and the YKK Aquaguard zipper won't let water seep in.
If the sun comes back out, just pack the jacket into the small chest pocket and clip it onto or stash it in your backpack. Waterproof pockets, adjustable hem, an audio port, high-quality trims and subtle Nukeproof branding complete this fully featured MTB jacket.

It's not just about the functional fabrics though, Nukeproof has got the details just right too.
