Long Sleeve Cycling

Features to look for in bike clothing

• Moisture wicking fabrics keep you comfortable by pulling sweat away from your skin
• Sun-protective fabric: protects against harmful exposure to UV rays; a higher rating offers better the sun protection
• Waterproof bike clothes help you stay dry in rain or other bad conditions
• Insulated clothes trap warmth without bulk, perfect for early mornings or colder seasons
• Reflective elements help you be seen by motorists

Bike shorts

• Do you want form-fitting or looser styles?
• Do you need padding (chamois) to add comfort in the saddle? If so, choose between standard chamois (thicker and less expensive) or gel chamois (thinner, firmer and a bit pricier)

Bike jersey or shirt

• Consider sleeve length or a partial or full zip
• Many shirts transition well to other casual activities
