A festive gift that won't disappoint is some new cycling kit, and just in time for some last-minute Christmas shopping, Le Col has launched its Winter Sale.
The British cycling brand has reductions of up to 50% across the majority of its range. It includes kit tried and tested by the Cycling Weekly experts, seasonal cycling apparel, and, of course, as it's Christmas, cycling socks too. There's no novelty festive tat here – the Le Col Cycling Socks Gift Box includes five pairs of the brand's high-performance cycling socks, reduced by £25, and is a perfect festive gift.
As a fan of the brand, I've hunted through the Le Col Winter Sale and highlighted some of the best cycling deals that caught my eye. There are a few items perfect for winter cycling, and a few geared more for summer riding. For commuters, the Le Col Day Pack has an incredible discount of 78%, down from £120 to just £27, and is a total bargain.
All sale items are available on the Le Col US site, so if you're US-based, these deals will show in dollars and have the same equally significant discounts.
Le Col says the last day for in time for UK Christmas delivery is the 18th of December, so if you're buying for the cyclist in your life, best be quick.
The Pro Lightweight Rain Jacket is branded as the lightest, fastest rain jacket in the Le Col jacket range. It features advanced Pertex Shield technology to deliver advanced weatherproof performance with no compromise on speed, breathability or packability. It's only discounted in the Grape colourway, but all the sizes from S to 3XL.
A solid pair of gloves can make all the difference when riding in winter, adding an extra layer of warming protection to hands and wrists.

They are also waterproof and have silicone grippers over the palm to ensure a secure grip, with a handy microfibre suede nose wipe over the back. They come in four sizes S to XL.
