As the cold air starts to hit our daily rides, most riders are looking through the packed-away winter gear, searching for the perfect kit combo. Those looking to keep super toasty all winter, no matter where you’re located — listen up. 45NRTH just launched an updated and revamped Naughtvind collection, ideal for the harshed snowball that winter can toss.
The Naughtvind kit update collection includes the Naughtvind Bibs, Naughtvind Pants, Naughtvind Jacket, and Naughtvind Vest. The new line features a new slate colorway and utilizes 88% recycled nylon in the outer shell of jackets, vests, and pants.
That’s not all; the winter wizards over at 45NRTH launched an updated Sturmfist 3 — one of our absolute favorite winter gloves ever. So get your fat bike all tuned up, and let’s chat winter gear.
45NRTH Naughtvind Jacket
The updated Naughtvind Jacket looks similar to the previous version with water and wind-resistant shell material and pit zips to air out as needed. The shell is abrasion-resistant, slightly stretchy, and made with 88% recycled nylon. Similar to its predecessor, the updated Naughtvind Jacket has an extended rear draping tail that keeps the moisture off your backside.
The jacket has both open and zipped pockets for water bottles and valuables. The design team kept the asymmetrical front zipper front the previous version and were happy to see it. The offset design prevents the cold metal from rubbing against your chin when in the riding position and looks good on/off the bike.
Available in Women’s cut (more fitted) in sizes XS–XXL and Men’s (straighter) cut in sizes SM–XXL
Two colorways: Black and Slate
MSRP $295
45NRTH Naughtvind Vest
Think of it as cold weather armor; this versatile piece will help many riders take the edge off those cold mornings without the bulk of a full jacket. It’s the same water and wind-resistant soft-shell material the jacket uses, made with 88% recycled nylon.
The rear mimics the long rear drape of the jacket model with an adjustable hem to cinch in the fit and keep in the heat. The Naughtvind vest has two open rear pockets and zippered/lined front pocket.
Available in sizes XS–XXL.
MSRP $160
45NRTH Naughtvind Pants
If it’s going to get cold, you want to keep your whole body warm, and the Naughtvind pants are a great counterpart to the Naughtvind jacket. The pants come crafted from the same stretchy, water and wind-resistant soft-shell outer as others in the Naughtvind Collection.
The cut is high-waisted to keep your backside warm and adjustable waist and ankle cuff, just in case. The Naughtvind pants have fleece-lined thigh areas to help with the natural pedaling feel and two vents to release excess heat.
Available in Women’s cut (more fitted) in sizes XS–XXL and Men’s (straighter) cut in sizes SM–XXL
Two colorways: Black and Slate
MSRP $210
45NRTH Naughtvind Bibs
The 45NRTH Naughtvind bibs are a perfect counter partner for the pants mentioned above but can operate independently. The 45NRTH Naughtvind bibs boast a wind-resistant front thigh panel that repels slight moisture. The back panel is open with venting and has three pockets for extra-base mile food storage.
The chamois-less design means you must wear shorts underneath, but at least you can pair your favorite pad with the bibs. The updated 45NRTH Naughtvind Bibs features a 4/5 leg length and fits well with winter riding boots.
Available in sizes XS–XXL
MSRP $250
45NRTH Sturmfist 3 Gloves
The updated 45NRTH Sturmfist 3 comes rated for comfort from 10 to 30 degrees F (-12 to -1 degrees C) and is all about fit. The “lobster-claw” design pairs fingers together for added warmth — which can be especially nice for people prone to cold digits.
The 45NRTH Sturmfist 3 is crafted from wind and water-resistant soft-shell outer with AX® Suede synthetic leather palm for grip and control. The insulation is Primaloft® 6 oz Gold insulation with Cross Core Aerogel technology with Primaloft® ECO needle insulation with grip control on the palm.
The lining; is made with a blend of 44% Merino wool, 35% recycled polyester, and 21% polyester to keep hands warm and gloves smell-free after the rides. The 45NRTH Sturmfist 3 uses an Infinite hook-and-loop wrist cinch for glove retention. The fingers are covered with conductive synthetic leather on the thumb and index finger for touchscreen use. While all the digits are pre-curved for natural hand position on handlebars
SM–XXL
Two colorways: Black and Slate
MSRP $110
