cycling clothing from head to toe

cycling clothing should give you a comfortable feel on the bike and protect you. Whether it’s summer or winter, heat or cold, rain or wind — with the right gear, you don’t have to worry about the whims of the weather. And that’s exactly what cycling and the right cycling clothing are all about: increasing your independence from external conditions and making it possible to simply get on your bike and ride whenever you want. That applies just as much to road cycling apparel and MTB clothing as it does to cycling clothing in general.

But weather is only one of the key aspects when it comes to cycling clothing — safety is just as important. Reflective elements are therefore a core feature of modern cycling clothing. Early riders and those who cycle in the dark need even more visibility in traffic and require dedicated safety apparel.

The core of your cycling kit: the bib shorts

The bib shorts is the central element of almost every cycling kit, positioned quite literally at the rider’s most important contact point with the bike: the saddle. The chamois can make all the difference depending on the intended use and how much time you want to spend in the saddle. A key question when choosing cycling shorts is whether they come with or without bib straps . Shorts with bib straps are sometimes called "bib shorts with bib straps", but more often simply "bib bib shorts" or "short bib bib shorts". Many cycling enthusiasts — from recreational riders to ambitious racers and professionals — prefer them for both training and racing.

How and when you ride, meaning in which season and in what weather, matters when choosing the right shorts: short or long tights, liner shorts to wear under your MTB shorts, or a bib shorts for commuters, leisure riders, and touring cyclists.

Protection from the elements and breathable performance

Functional cycling clothing is all about combining maximum weather protection with the best possible breathable performance. Especially on long rides or on the road bike, you need apparel that continuously protects your body from extreme heat, wind, sun, or cold so you can ride in comfort and stay healthy. Special functional materials are used to protect your body effectively, prevent overheating, and wick away moisture. UV protection is also an important feature of modern cycling clothing, helping you prevent long-term skin damage caused by many hours in the saddle. Winter cycling apparel offers ideal insulation in sub-zero temperatures, so you can keep riding through the coldest time of the year in comfort. Of course, the right accessories are essential to complete your cycling kit: arm warmers, knee warmers, and leg warmers can protect you from wind and cold while also providing UV protection.
