Winter training doesn’t stop—so your gear shouldn't either. Whether you're running through a brisk autumn breeze or riding through a frosty morning commute, having the right thermal layers makes all the difference.
At Sugoi, we offer three thermal collections: Midzero, Zeroplus, and Subzero. Each one is built for a specific temperature range, riding style, and level of protection.
Here’s everything you need to know to choose the right one.

🧭 How to Choose the Right One
Here’s how to decide which line fits your training needs:
→ You're moving fast & generating heat:
Go Midzero.
Perfect for interval training, fast rides, or shoulder-season outings where you want stretch and breathability—not bulk.
→ You want warmth but need wind or water protection:
Go Zeroplus.
Choose this if you’re riding in unpredictable weather—wind gusts, light snow, or cold rain. The Wind Pant version adds strategic protection.
→ You hate the cold and train anyway:
Go Subzero.
If you’re logging miles in sub-freezing temps or don’t want to wear multiple layers, Subzero gives you serious insulation with water resistance and reflectivity built in.
❄️ Stay Warm. Stay Seen. Stay Outside.
Whether you’re in it for the long ride or just need to keep your legs moving all season, Sugoi’s Midzero, Zeroplus, and Subzero collections have you covered—literally.
Don’t just survive winter. Train through it.
