Bike clothing, buy cheap at velondo.ie

Experienced cyclists and more and more recreational cyclists swear by the onion layer principle when it comes to their cycling clothing. The cycling clothing worn directly on the body - usually the functional vest - transports moisture away from the body to the outside and keeps the body pleasantly dry. The second layer - the cycling jersey - warms and insulates the body, and the outer layer - the cycling jacket - protects the cyclist from rain, wind and snow.

Functional vests wick sweat away from the body

The importance of adequate cycling clothing is shown not least by the layer that comes into direct contact with the skin. Why not put it to the test? Put on a functional vest under a cotton garment and go for a spin on your bike. You will quickly notice how much sweat is transferred away from the body to the outside. If you had chosen a cotton vest as the bottom layer of your cycling clothing, it would stick to your body like a damp rag and sooner or later you would start to feel cold despite your increased body temperature. No matter how hot it may be, a second skin in the form of a functional vest should never be missing.

A lot has also happened in recent years when it comes to odour. High-quality materials made of synthetic fibres and a special processing of this cycling clothing layer enable optimal sweat transport and prevent annoying odours. For this purpose, many manufacturers make use of the so-called capillary effect. They use two fibres of different thicknesses to produce the functional clothing. There are thicker fibres on the inside of the cycling clothing than on the outside. This means that the outer layer has a larger surface area, creating a capillary drop that transports moisture and sweat away from the body to the outside. This allows sweat to evaporate quickly and prevents unpleasant odours from developing in the first place.

The cycling jersey fashionable and functional

The second layer of optimal cycling clothing is the cycling jersey. Here the cycle clothing market offers everything your heart desires. Cycling clothing for men, women and children, cycling clothing for summer, winter and the transitional season, cycling clothing for the ambitious cyclist, the hobby cyclist or the way to work, cycling clothing for the mountain biker, the racing cyclist or the downhill rider. Since cycling in bad weather and in winter is becoming more and more popular, there is also a wide range of cycling clothing suitable for everyday use in winter. A long-sleeved functional jersey helps as a warming layer under the jacket in cold temperatures. It absorbs little moisture and keeps you warm. If the temperature drops below zero degrees, an additional layer is recommended to protect the torso even better from the cold.

Bike jackets protect against wind and rain

Bike jackets are the third layer of cycling clothing. Yes, why do we actually freeze in the wind or at high speeds? The warming layer immediately above our skin is blown away when cycling and in windy conditions and we freeze. That's why we need wind protection in the form of a cycling jacket. Cycling jackets are cycling garments specially designed for cycling. They have an extended back, ventilation slits under the arms, reflectors and practical extras like small pockets. You should make sure that they do not flap in the wind, have zips underneath and are easy to stow. In winter, a softshell product is recommended as an outer jacket. Thanks to windproof, water-repellent and highly breathable materials, they offer the best function for most applications.

There is a lot of choice when it comes to cycling trousers

But the most important piece of cycling clothing next to the helmet is and remains the cycling shorts, because they are a sensitive point of contact between man and machine. The range of legwear for cyclists is large: from tight-fitting road cycling shorts to casually wide shorts and casual trekking shorts with separate inner pants, the cycle clothing market offers everything a cyclist's heart desires. If you were an inexperienced cyclist and wore jeans and pants, you will certainly remember the aches and pains on your backside. Well done to those who have chosen cycling shorts with integrated seat pads. The cycling clothing industry has long since recognised that there is a lot of money to be made in the cycling trousers market. Roughly speaking, the group of buyers is divided into three groups: Road cyclists, leisure cyclists and trekking or mountain bikers. Road cyclists prefer tight-fitting, highly functional cycling shorts, while recreational cyclists prefer casual shorts with thicker padding. There are cycling shorts in long versions with or without detachable legs and cycling shorts in short versions. Most models have removable inner shorts so they can also be worn for other leisure activities. Trekking and MTB trousers are cut very casually and are elasticated so as not to restrict the rider's movements. They are usually offered as a set of overtrousers and padded inner pants. Trousers for mountain bikers are functionally sporty. Trekking trousers, on the other hand, have cuts and fabrics that are more suitable for everyday use. You also cut a good figure in them in a café.

When trying on your new cycling clothes, you should pay attention to the following. Can the inner shorts be easily removed and re-buttoned or fastened in another way? Is the padding on the ischial tuberosities thick enough for the respective area of use? Do the shorts also fit in the cycling position? Does it pinch or are the seams chafing? After all, you don't want to have a rude awakening while cycling.

Biking gloves not only dampen vibrations but also protect you in case of falls

The two other contact points through which the cyclist is in direct contact with the bike are the handlebars and the pedals, or the hands and feet. Cycling gloves are useful items of cycling clothing that are part of the standard equipment of road cyclists and are usually still smiled at by recreational cyclists. In the event of a fall, however, cycling gloves protect the cyclist's hands. Thanks to special padding, they also prevent the hands from falling asleep while riding, and they dampen vibrations and bumps, thus contributing significantly to riding comfort. Every recreational cyclist is probably aware that winter gloves should be an indispensable part of cycling clothing. Mostly made of windproof and water-repellent material, they protect against cold, wind and wetness.

Road shoes or special cycling shoes is a question of pedals

While recreational cyclists and people who ride to work usually wear normal street shoes or trainers, mountain bikers and road cyclists ride with special cycling shoes that they can snap into their clipless pedals - also known casually as clickies. The advantage of a firm connection between shoe and pedal is more efficient power transmission. You can not only pedal, but also pull. Furthermore, cycling shoes offer a better grip and greater safety on unpaved paths, as you cannot slip off and your foot has a defined position on the pedal.

The most important piece of cycling clothing - the helmet

No piece of cycling clothing is as important as the cycle helmet, and no piece of cycling clothing is so divisive. Some call for compulsory helmets to protect cyclists from head injuries, while others point to studies from Australia and the Netherlands that show that compulsory helmets can also be counterproductive if the infrastructure for cyclists as a whole is not right, other road users show no consideration or are not attuned to cyclists. What use is the best helmet if there are no cycle paths? What use is the best helmet if a lorry turns right and overlooks the cyclist riding in the blind spot and runs him over? But cyclists themselves also have a duty. What use is the best helmet if it doesn't fit properly? What use is the best helmet if you ride in the dark without lights? What use is the best helmet if cyclists think that traffic rules only apply to car drivers and pedestrians, but not to them? So the question "compulsory helmet yes or no?" will continue to be controversial. Ultimately, everyone must decide for themselves whether or not to put on head protection.

Other cycling apparel

Headgear such as balaclavas, balaclavas, caps or helmet undershirts can be categorised as either cycle clothing or accessories. Other useful cycling clothing items are leg warmers and arm warmers. Especially in the mornings and evenings, when it is still or already cool again, cyclists reach for this warming cycling clothing even in summer. They are easy to stow in your luggage and can be slipped on briefly to protect you from the cold wind. Overshoes for winter protect against cold feet. Anyone who rides their bike to work in the cold season knows that if your feet get cold and numb, your whole body will soon freeze. Overshoes can help. You simply slip them over your shoes and your feet are protected from the cold.
