Holding cyclist

At Cybervelo, with our expertise in cycling since 2005, we understand that the right cycling apparel is crucial not only for comfort but also for enhancing performance on the road or trail. Whether you're commuting in the city, tackling road miles, or hitting the mountain trails, the right gear can significantly improve your cycling experience.

The importance of cycling clothing

Proper cycling clothing should balance comfort, technical features, and durability. Here are the essential pieces of clothing every cyclist should have:

• Jerseys: Our jerseys are crafted with breathable, lightweight fabrics that wick moisture away and dry quickly.
• Bib shorts/Bike shorts: Good quality shorts with adequate padding and flat seams are crucial for long rides to reduce friction and prevent chafing.
• Jackets and windbreakers: For windy or light rainy days, our jackets provide optimal protection while remaining breathable to prevent overheating.
• Essential accessories: Don’t underestimate the importance of quality socks, gloves, ventilated helmets, and ergonomic shoes, like those from SIDI or Spiuk, which enhance pedaling efficiency and comfort.

Brand choices and innovation

We select products from leading brands such as Gobik, Kask, Noret, and BBB, known for their quality and innovation. Apparel technologies are continually advancing: fabrics are becoming lighter, more compressive while offering better thermal regulation.

Tips for choosing cycling apparel

• Climate appropriate gear: Adapt your outfit to the weather. Use layered clothing that you can easily add or remove.
• Importance of comfort: Try different styles and fits to find what suits you best, especially for items like shorts and shoes.
• Visibility: Opt for garments with reflective elements if you ride early in the morning or late in the evening.
