Layering wins. Especially on longer tours, and even more so when you're heading for the mountains, the temperature and weather conditions can fluctuate. That's why your cycling clothing always consists of several different ingredients that you can combine as you like and quickly put on and take off again. An overview of the large selection that you can easily order online in our bike clothing shop:
On the bike you are at the mercy of the elements, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind. But not without protection. Thanks to special functional materials, the premium cycling clothing we offer ensures a balanced body climate, wicks moisture away and keeps you warm. At the same time, it remains breathable, and hardshell equipment protects against rain and wind.
Thanks to elastic fabrics, ergonomic cuts and well-placed padding, trousers, shirts and jerseys are also precisely adapted to the requirements of cycling. With additional reflectors, you can also increase your visibility even in the most adverse weather conditions and at dusk.
Just a little freshening wind, cool descents and possible rain showers or low temperatures right at the start of the tour or changeable weather. You will find the right cycling clothing for winter as well as summer and the transitional season:
Warmth is particularly important for winter cycling clothing. Therefore, go for thermal materials. They keep you warm and at the same time offer the necessary functionality. After all, you want to avoid heat build-up under your equipment in winter. You should always have a waterproof layer with you, but not necessarily at the start of the tour. You shouldn't dress too thickly right away. It's better to react spontaneously but emphatically to temperature changes. Reflective details on your cycling clothing improve visibility at dusk.
Summer cycling clothing is primarily lightweight and breathable. The functional fabrics should cool the upper body, but not chill it. They therefore effectively wick perspiration away from the body. A zip on the short-sleeved jersey improves ventilation. Pack light waistcoats for the descent and water-repellent jackets against rain showers. Arm warmers and leg warmers allow you to react spontaneously should the temperature drop further during a tour in the mountains.
Cycling clothing for the transitional season is also made up of several layers that can be optimally combined. Breathability is also a key factor. To keep your muscles warm, the arms and legs of your shirt and shorts can be long. A windbreaker protects you from the wind, while a hardshell jacket keeps the rain out. Reflectors and functional underwear should also accompany you during the transitional period.
Tight, but not too tight. Comfortable, but not too loose. That is the basic formula. This is how the functional fabrics unfold their full effect. Since nothing flutters in the wind, clothing cut close to the body also improves aerodynamics. If the trousers and jersey don't wrinkle, you also counteract friction and pressure points. However, your equipment should not constrict you. Instead, it should support your movements on the bike as best as possible. That's why the test in cycling position is important. This is where you go to see if the new jersey or trousers really fit perfectly when you sit in the saddle.
To make sure that you retain all the functional properties of your cycling clothes even if you wash them several times, check the label. There you can read how warm you can wash your equipment and whether it is suitable for the machine and/or dryer. Always use liquid detergents, preferably even special functional detergents. Powder and fabric softener are not an alternative.
If you machine-wash jerseys, jackets and trousers, set the spin speed as low as possible, turn everything inside out and close zips and Velcro fasteners. Regular washing is, of course, obligatory in view of the close proximity to the body. At the same time, it maintains the function, as it frees the clothes from micro-particles. However, you should refresh the impregnation after about 5 washes. You can counteract strong odours by using disinfectant washing additives.
