What do you wear on a motorcycle when it’s cold?

When you look your best, you perform your best. Choosing the perfect biking gear helps you strive for confidence and achieve top results, no matter the time of year. However, throughout the autumn and winter, planning your riding style takes a bit more time, given the need to layer up and stay warm against the cold.

Need further protection from the muddiest MX track? Or do you want to ensure that the ever-changing conditions of your enduro trail do not compromise your standards? Look no further. We are here to help you find the perfect motorcycle winter clothing to keep you riding like a pro.

Jackets

Alpinestars
(2026) Adventure Touring Jacket - ST-7 2L Gore-Tex Laminate (Ice Grey/Dark Blue/Black)

While MX and Enduro riders should always wear off-road jerseys and pants, other disciplines will have their equivalent. Yet, during the colder months, how you build your look around the basics helps to minimise the chill.

One of our motorcycle jackets for winter is the perfect starting point for layering your attire and keeping your body insulated. While our laminated and waterproof jackets prevent rainy conditions from affecting your ride and comfort, a thermal style ensures a snug, warm feel, helping you withstand the breeze and tackle the toughest terrains.

Base Layers

Motorcycle base layer clothing is designed to suit particular times of the year, so ensuring you have a style specifically for winter is crucial. The 2025 release of the Alpine Stars Top/Jersey and the Bottom/Pant Ride Tech Base Layer is the perfect matching kit to add to your biking wardrobe this season.

While the dual-density layers provide extra moisture-wicking to keep the body comfortable, the tubular seamless construction creates a compression fit that covers the most exposed areas and supports your muscles, reducing fatigue.

Motorcycling Boots

Alpinestars
(2026) Adventure Boots - Toucan Gore-Tex (Black)

When selecting your winter gear, consider motorcycle disciplines, especially when purchasing footwear. Our range of motorcycling boots spans adventure, off-road and touring disciplines, allowing you to browse easily for your specific riding type. With various physical demands, terrains, and speeds to consider, ensuring your boots cater to these specifics is essential to your safety and performance.

However, one of our premier motorcycling boots this winter is the Alpinestars (2025) Toucan Gore-Tex boots, incomparable for rugged roads. The intelligent design features of this touring boot are particularly designed to suit lengthy riding adventures.

The GTX liner, integrated protection systems and unmatched comfort provide 100% weatherproofing, helping you to stay warm and dry throughout your entire ride. If durability is a key factor in choosing your riding footwear, the sole construction of this Toucan style features an embedded steel shank, also providing optimum comfort. With a distinctive buckle design inspired by Alpinestars’ dirt boots, mud and dirt shed easily while maintaining a low profile to minimise the risk of bike or buckle damage.

Winter Motorcycle Accessories

Motorcycle gloves are always essential, so refreshing your biking accessories is never a bad idea. Our laminated and thermal gloves are perfect additions to your winter wardrobe, helping you block out colder temperatures without compromising agility or control over your bike.

Oxford Waterproof Motorcycle Socks

To enhance your winter gear, motorcycle socks are a must-have for any type of rider, offering guaranteed comfort to keep you warm and dry this season.

The Oxford Waterproof Socks feature a three-layer construction, comprising a breathable waterproof membrane between the inner seamless lining and outer knitted layer, making them a perfect accessory for all year round. With a light compression fit and a cushioned toe, sole and heel, you can tackle any terrain with endless comfort. 

Alternatively, the Alpinestars Thermal Tech Long Socks are specifically designed from a knit fabric for maximum comfort, offering warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties to support extended rides. While the knee-length design ensures ultimate coverage, the ribbed fitting reduces bunching at the heel to optimise wearability.

It wouldn’t be winter without the darker days and foggier terrains, meaning your motorcycle winter clothing should be topped with some high-viz clothing. 

The 360° reflective and fluorescent materials are designed to prioritise visibility. So, if you’re riding on the open road or working within a team-based discipline, you can keep your presence known to any passers-by or competitors.

With safety at the forefront, it is also essential to wear your motorcycle helmet. None of our headwear ever goes out of season or style. No ride should ever begin without a properly fitted and secure helmet.

What is the best heated motorcycle gear?

Elevate your motorcycle winter accessories to new heights with your favourite gear from our heated clothing range. With battery-powered and chargeable functions, you can prepare your heated gloves or vest the night before your ride to enjoy long-lasting warmth on the coldest adventures.

Many of our products also allow you to adjust the temperature of your heated clothing, emitting a warmth that you find most comfortable. However, the carefully crafted palms of our heated gloves enhance abrasion resistance and durability, while the fingertips are compatible with your touchscreen devices. As a result, this technological edge enhances the usability of your gloves while maintaining their conventional purpose as an equal priority.

Are motorcycle base layers worth it?

Alpinestars
(2026) Base Layers, Bottom/Pant - Ride Tech (Winter)

Motorcycle base layer clothing should be a staple in your biking wardrobe all year round. The ultra-lightweight, technical base layer of a summer style is designed to keep riders cool in the heat, with moisture-wicking fibres ensuring all-around body temperature control and performance.

In contrast, your winter base layer minimises the difficulty of the cold weather, prioritising warmth and comfort in the toughest conditions. The meticulous layering creates a comfortable fit while minimising sweat buildup thanks to the extra moisture-wicking properties. Therefore, the rider enjoys all the benefits of snug riding gear without facing the drawbacks of humidity and dampness.
