Cycling shirts

Why a cycling shirt?

Unlike an ordinary sports shirt, a cycling shirt has a number of functional properties that allow you to perform better. The fit is adapted to typical cycling movements. Cycling shirts are suitable for both ambitious cycling races and casual cycling. The Acelera cycling shirts with zipper, collar, zipper stopper and pockets are particularly comfortable and practical.

Functional cycling clothing: Materials

Functionality is extremely important for cycling clothing: the material of a cycling shirt must be elastic, so that you as a cyclist have a lot of freedom of movement. Just as important is that the material is breathable. This way, sweat and moisture are properly removed from the skin. And you are well protected against cold and sun, even during intensive training.

Temperature control plays an important role. Whether you cycle on chilly or warm days, your body should not cool down too much or overheat. That is why there are cycling shirts for the summer - made of very light material or as thermal shirts for the winter. Insulating layers such as fleece protect against cold and wet, and a windproof membrane on the front keeps the cold air flow out. There are even cycling tops with UV protection, which reduces the risk of sunburn.

Cycling jerseys should also be practical, for example you can store your keys, phone and energy bars in our back pockets. In addition to our subtle black, white or gray cycling shirts, there are also cycling shirts available in the red and blue.

Purpose and preference: the fit of your cycling jersey

Acelera's cycling jerseys are slightly shorter at the front and slightly longer at the back. This means that there are no annoying folds on your stomach when you lean forward, but your lower back still remains covered. Our models have been specially developed for racing cyclists.

Cycling jerseys for high-speed enthusiasts

Every second counts when setting new records, and a baggy shirt will slow you down. That's why our racing shirts are very close-fitting. They envelop your upper body like a second skin and create minimal wind resistance.

The cycling shirts have a zipper, so you can quickly put them on despite the tight fit. The zipper closes the shirt up to the neck, so that the air flow is stopped. To prevent air pockets from forming under the shirt, the bands on the sleeves and on the back are made of elastic material and equipped with silicone strips.

Cycling jerseys with short sleeves go well with arm warmers or light cycling jackets and cycling vests. They adapt to current temperatures and weather conditions.

Cycling shirts for men

Men's cycling jerseys have a different design than women's cycling jerseys, because men and women have different anatomy. Women's cycling jerseys are wider at the chest and even narrower at the waist. The shoulders are also narrower. So you should choose the right cycling jersey for your gender, because the fit provides the best support for the performance of the male or female rider.

Care of your cycling jersey

Wash your cycling jersey every time you use it, preferably in the machine. Never wash the shirt too hot, a gentle wash at 30° C is recommended. Never use fabric softener, as this can damage the fibers of the functional material. Cycling jerseys also do not tolerate the dryer very well. So hang out your cycling jersey after washing. With special textile care you can keep the fabrics breathable and bright in color for longer. Read here the recommended washing instructions.
