How to choose professional cycling clothing?

Choosing a cycling jersey or jacket is straightforward – pick the design you like, and you're good to go! But when it comes to cycling shorts, things get more serious. The key is the chamois (cycling pad), as it determines how comfortable your ride will be over long distances. The ideal chamois? It should be made in Italy (they are the masters of this craft). It should be perforated, body-conforming, and layered with multi-density foam – ideally 80 kg/m² or more. The general rule: the more expensive the shorts, the better the chamois. But watch out – sometimes cheaper shorts have better chamois than pricier ones by up to 30%.

Cycling jackets – the more expensive, the better the materials. But remember, not all brands are equal. When you buy our Kaymaq brand, you're getting an excellent price-to-quality ratio. The highest-end jackets are made from top-quality, waterproof, and breathable materials.

Cycling pants – focus on two aspects: the chamois is number one. If the pants have a good chamois, the rest will be solid too. Winter pants often come with a front membrane to protect against cold winds. Bibs or no bibs? We recommend bibs – they stay in place, and your back is always covered. But that's a matter of personal preference.

Women's cycling clothing – the rules are the same as for men's, but with a female-specific cut. The jerseys are tailored at the waist, and jackets are more fitted. And the age-old question: bibs or no bibs? Many women prefer no bibs, as it's more convenient during breaks. But bibs have their advantages – better fit, no slipping, and the chamois stays where it should be.

Cycling apparel for beginners: How to dress for a ride?

If you're just starting out on your cycling journey, no worries – we've got a list of essential gear you should have in your cycling wardrobe. Let’s get started!

• Cycling shorts (men's/women's) – comfort is key! They prevent chafing and ensure a comfortable ride on longer distances. Women’s versions come with chamois designed specifically for female anatomy.
• Cycling jersey – lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking. It not only looks cool but also helps you stay fresh while riding.
• Cycling helmet – absolutely essential! Your best buddy on the trail. Head protection is crucial – better safe than sorry.
• Cycling gloves – no blisters and a solid grip! Gloves protect your hands from chafing and absorb shocks, so your hands won’t hurt after a long day on the bike.
• Sunglasses – protect your eyes from the sun, wind, and unwanted visitors like bugs or dust. They keep you focused!
• Rain jacket – weather can change quickly, but no problem! A rain jacket keeps you dry and shields you from the wind so you can keep going.

Start with these basic cycling apparel items, and as your skills and needs grow, you can expand your wardrobe with items like cycling shoes and socks. As the cycling season changes, you’ll also need to swap out your gear for fall-winter clothing.

What cycling clothing should you wear in spring?

Spring is a tricky time – you never know what to expect: sun, rain, wind? So it's important to be prepared for anything. Here are some tips on how to dress for a ride so nothing catches you off guard:

• Cycling helmet – no helmet, no ride! You only have one head, so protect it well.
• Layered clothing – instead of one thick jacket, it’s better to wear several lighter layers. A thermal shirt, cycling hoodie, and light windproof jacket make an ideal set. If it gets warmer, you can easily remove something and stash it away.
• Comfortable, breathable cycling apparel – ventilation is key! A lightweight cycling jersey paired with a windbreaker or cycling vest is the perfect setup for spring weather changes.
• Insulated gloves and a cap under your helmet – mornings can still be chilly, so it's good to have something that warms your hands and head. And as the day warms up, you can take them off and store them in your jacket pocket.
• Shoe covers – don’t want wet feet? Go for lightweight, waterproof shoe covers. In spring, it's better to avoid thick neoprene as it's easy to overheat.
• Sunglasses – spring sunshine can be bright. The best option is photochromic glasses – the lenses adjust to changing light conditions and are always spot on.
• Rain jacket and waterproof pants – spring is known for unexpected downpours. A jacket and pants that keep you dry are a must-have. You never know when the rain will catch you!

Remember, it’s essential to adjust your clothes to the current weather and protect yourself from wind and rain.

How to dress for cycling on hot summer days?

In the summer, when the sun is blazing, it’s important to choose light and breathable cycling clothing that allows your body to breathe. Here are a few tips on how to dress so you don’t overheat while cycling!

• Short-sleeved jerseys – lightweight and breathable, these are essential. Moisture-wicking materials are a must-have because no one likes to feel sweaty on the ride.
• MTB shorts or lycra shorts – comfort first! Loose MTB shorts are great if you prefer freedom, but for better aerodynamics, tight lycra shorts are ideal.
• Sunglasses – the sun shining straight into your eyes? Put on your sunglasses to protect your eyes from the rays and wind. A small but super important accessory.
• Sunscreen – don't forget to protect your skin! Sunscreen is a must-have on hot days. The sun can be harsh, so it’s better to be prepared.
• Lightweight clothing for cooler moments – even on hot days, evenings can be cooler. Pack arm warmers, leg warmers, or knee warmers in your bag. They take up little space and will save you when the temperature drops.

On hot summer days, prioritize comfort and breathability – let your body breathe, and your ride will be pure pleasure!

Autumn cycling clothing – what to wear?

Autumn is a total weather mix – one minute it’s sunny, the next it’s raining, and then the wind kicks in. So how do you dress to stay warm, dry, and not overheat while riding? Check out our recommendations for autumn cycling clothing:

• Cycling helmet – you know it, no helmet, no ride. Head protection is essential, no matter the season!
• Waterproof jacket with breathable material – rain and wind are autumn norms, so a jacket that keeps moisture away but also breathes is a winner!
• Waterproof cycling pants – wear them over your cycling shorts or directly over your long cycling pants. They protect against rain and wind, allowing you to keep pedaling even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
• Layered clothing – the golden rule of autumn. A thermal shirt, a cycling sweatshirt and a jacket – you can add or remove layers depending on the weather. Regulating body temperature has never been easier!
• Insulated cycling pants – keeping your legs warm is essential, especially when the wind picks up and the chill sets in.
• Insulated gloves and a cap under your helmet – your hands and head are the first to get cold, so it’s important to take care of them. Warm gloves and a cap are a must for autumn rides!
• Cycling shoes – waterproof shoes with a membrane are the ideal option, but if you’re looking for a cheaper solution, opt for waterproof shoe covers – they work great too!

The most important thing is to choose clothing that wicks moisture away and allows your skin to breathe. In autumn, it’s easy to overheat, so you need to balance warmth with breathability. Remember, autumn is no excuse to leave your bike in the garage – just dress well and hit the road!

Winter cycling clothing – how to dress to stay warm?

Winter cycling is a real challenge, but there’s no need to worry! Just prepare well and dress appropriately, and you can enjoy the ride even when it’s cold and windy outside. Here’s what should be in your winter cycling wardrobe:

• Cycling helmet – you know the drill, no helmet, no ride! Head protection is even more important in winter, as it can get slippery and falls are unfortunately more common.
• Thermal underwear – a long-sleeved shirt is your first line of defense against the cold. It wicks moisture away and keeps the heat close to your body, so you won’t freeze, but you also won’t overheat.
• Winter cycling jacket with a windproof membrane – the ultimate hit for winter conditions. It protects against wind, rain, and snow, while the insulation ensures your thermal comfort, even when the temperature drops well below zero.
• Insulated cycling pants – with or without a chamois, with or without bibs – the choice is yours. The important thing is that they keep you warm and shield you from the wind. Your legs will thank you for it!
• Winter cycling gloves – cold hands ruin the ride, so good gloves are a must. They need to protect you from the wind but still allow freedom of movement so you can easily use your brakes and gears.
• Cap under your helmet – in winter, it’s worth wearing something on your head to protect your ears and block the cold wind. The best option is a cap with a windproof panel – no more drafts!
• Winter cycling shoes – preferably with a waterproof membrane and winter sole. If you don’t have specialized winter shoes, neoprene waterproof shoe covers will also do the trick! The most important thing is to keep your feet warm and dry.

Remember, during winter rides, your body tends to overheat faster, so it’s important to choose layered clothing that allows you to regulate your body temperature. It’s also a good idea to carry a bag or a cycling pannier where you can store extra clothes like gloves, a hat, or a rain jacket in case the weather suddenly changes.
