ON THE COVER

Adam Lu rides a Trek Checkpoint SL 6

( trekbikes.com). He’s wearing a Q36.5

Adventure Winter Jacket ( roadkit.com).

You can learn more about the women’s version of this jacket on p.55. Beneath the outer layer, the Q36.5 Base Layer Plus 5 adds even more warmth. It has its own built-in balaclava. The water-repellant

Q36.5 Adventure Winter Bib Tights use a knitted material made from recycled yarns. Protecting Lu’s hands from the cold and wet are Q36.5 Amphib Winter Rain Gloves. They are constructed with a three-layer fabric with a waterproof membrane in the middle. Like a good jacket, they let condensation out while keeping rain from getting in. At Lu’s feet, his shoes are covered by the durable Q36.5 Overshoes Cordura. Photo: Matt Stetson
