Chrome has carved a niche in the cycling world with tough, good looking equipment for the urban rider. Used alone, each of these pieces is a solid addition to a winter biking kit. But they shine best when combined into a layering system to tackle cold weather biking.
I’ve reviewed these pieces through the fall and winter in Minnesota. Read on to learn about a primo base, mid, and jacket combo from Chrome.
