As Pactimo’s Head of Product, a daily rider, and a year-round commuter, Ryan brings firsthand experience to choosing gear for the colder months. His picks help take the guesswork out of getting dressed, from crisp fall mornings to rides when seeing your breath is part of the warm-up.
“Fall and winter riding in Colorado teaches you to dress for more than the temperature at your front door. You can be warm on a climb and wishing for another layer ten minutes later. And the forecast? I treat that as a suggestion. My approach is simple: start with warmth you can pedal in, add protection from wind or wet weather, and give yourself options. In fall, that might mean arm and leg warmers and a vest you can tuck into a pocket. As winter settles in, thermal bibs or tights and the right jacket do more of the work. These are the pieces I reach for to keep riding as the days get colder. Getting out the door is still the hard part. Getting dressed shouldn’t be.” – Ryan White, Head of Product at Pactimo
