Cycling clothing

Cycling clothing ensure comfort and maximum freedom of movement in any situation. Road bike clothing is designed to follow the cyclist's movements, especially when bending forward on the handlebars. All jerseys and jackets are longer on the back so the back is always protected while the pants are equipped with elastic reinforcements on the knee to follow the pedaling.  Cycling apparel is generally made of Lycra: a type of stretch fabric, resistant that prevents damage from excessive rubbing of the limbs and highly breathable. Cycling apparel is equipped with padding that provides a good level of shock absorption and reduces mechanical shock during cycling in the pelvic area. But from what clothing is cycling clothing made?

Cycling jerseys: they are usually made of highly breathable synthetic material, wool blend fabric or with specific wind and rainproof materials. They are often high-necked so as to protect from the sun in summer and cold in winter, they have a zipper on the front and pockets on the back. 

Cycling jacket: they are usually made with waterproof fabrics and are designed not to get in the way when the cyclist bends forward. Some models are equipped with hood and side pockets where to store small objects.

Cycling shorts: they are made of Nylon or Lycra and are padded in the seat area to reduce friction with the saddle and control perspiration. 

Cycling pants: they are made with the same fabrics of the shorts but are designed to be worn during the coldest days. They are available in different lengths and can be worn together with leggings and tights for greater protection.

Cycling socks: they are made of thin and breathable fabric with a thicker layer on the bottom that protects the foot.

Cycling gloves: they can be long or short toes, they are padded on the palm, the back is in mesh and the closure on the wrist is in Velcro.
