A good cycling jersey is more than just a stylish shirt - it ensures optimum comfort, improves aerodynamics and supports your power on the bike or road bike. But which jersey is right for you? Here you can find out all about the different materials, properties and areas of use for cycling jerseys.
Modern cycling jerseys are usually made from functional synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide. These materials have decisive advantages:
Depending on the area of use, there are different cycling jerseys that are tailored to the respective requirements: Road cycling jerseys are characterized by a close-fitting cut that improves aerodynamics. They are often equipped with a full-length zip and back pockets for bars or small tools. Bike jerseys for mountain bikers are usually cut a little wider and offer more freedom of movement. They often have a long back section to provide optimum protection even when bent over.
A functional undershirt or t-shirts are usually worn under a cycling jersey to help wick away moisture. A cotton shirt is not recommended as it retains moisture and becomes uncomfortable.
Back pockets are particularly practical for storing food, a small pump or your smartphone. They are positioned so that they are light and accessible during the ride without restricting your freedom of movement.
To ensure your jersey lasts a long time, you should wash it at a maximum of 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as this can impair the functionality of the fibers. It is best to let it air dry to maintain the elasticity of the material.
