Why do people wear cycling jersey?
Firstly, let’s talk about the need for cycling clothing, Is it necessary to buy a set of cycling apparel?
Jiele Sport said absolutely, Why is it necessary? The reason is very simple, generally speaking, cycling jersey is formfitting, It can avoid the wind slipping in, get less wind resistance and increase your cycling speed. And that, cycling jersey material is normally made with good quality micro fiber, which provides excellent wicking properties, It plays a very important role of moisture absorbing and sweat releasing during riding.
You may notice that the cutting of cycling jersey is very particular, please see the examples on below:
1, The sleeve length of a long sleeve cycling jersey/Jacket is longer than standard clothing, It mainly considers that the position you are riding in is where your arm reaches Its longest and makes sure your wrist will be covered by the sleeve when riding in very cold weather.
2, The back length is longer much than front length too, It considers the riding posture is lean way forward.
3, Almost all jerseys is made with 3 back pockets, rider needs energy after long riding, you can put some chocolates and a bottle of water on the back pocket before your riding.
4, Most of jerseys/Bibs is made with reflective stripe on the back side joint seam, which can improve the safety when riding at night.
Furthermore, actually, a cycling bibs or shorts is more important than a cycling jersey, a good bibs will protect your butt far away from the hurt of long riding. Of course, I would still like to recommend you to buy a set of them. In addition, I have to remind you that It’s no need to wear underpants when wearing cycling bibs, or the ventilation will be affected.
