Four elements of cycling clothing

Four elements of cycling clothing

Fabric:

The overall performance of cycling clothing depends directly on the fabric. Most riding clothes will mix a small amount of spandex and polyester in the fabric. Spandex can enhance the elasticity of the clothing, ensure that the riding clothes are close to the body, reduce the windward area, reduce wind resistance, polyester fabrics are wear-resistant and not easy to absorb water, and improve the durability of the riding clothes. Quick-drying and abrasion-resistant, prolonging its lifespan.

Sun protection clothing used in summer will add sun protection additives to the fabric to effectively block ultraviolet rays. Most sun protection clothing in autumn and winter uses thick and compact fabrics to provide warmth.

Moisture absorption and quick drying:

Moisture absorption and quick drying include two aspects of moisture absorption and quick drying. Ordinary cycling clothing uses hydrophilic and quick-drying in exchange for moisture absorption. Professional cycling clothing achieves moisture absorption by improving the fabric structure.

Fast drying is mainly related to the air flow, temperature and evaporation area on the surface of the jersey. Professional cycling clothing brands will improve quick-drying by increasing fabric cross-sectional area and breathability.

Comfort:

High-quality cycling clothing can fit the body well, and the limbs can always be stretched freely when cycling;

For cycling pants, the scientific pad design can reduce the pressure on key parts during long-distance cycling, and avoid repeated cycling actions causing abrasions on the inner thighs. For men and overweight cyclists, riding Pants are especially important.

Details and workmanship:

In terms of workmanship, the sewing of the cycling jerseys of big brands is straight, the lines are neat, there is no wool phenomenon, the patterns of the cycling jerseys are neatly aligned, the ink marks are clear, there is no peculiar smell, and the color fastness is high.

In the use of auxiliary materials, middle and high-end bicycle brands mostly use YKK zippers, and the cuffs of the trousers use high-elastic and soft non-slip belts, which greatly improve the user experience.
