There are plenty of cycling jerseys out there. They are not only functionally equipped and specially tailored to the needs of cyclists. They are now also just as stylish as many normal t-shirts.
Functionality is at the forefront of cycling jerseys - after all, cycling is all about sport. No athlete wants to be travelling in a sweaty t-shirt that sticks to their sweaty body. That's why, unlike conventional t-shirts, cycling jerseys are not made from cotton but from functional materials:
Bike jerseys made from polyamide or polyester are very robust, breathable, fast-drying and generally easy to care for. The natural fibre merino wool is also becoming increasingly popular in the world of sportswear. It is also being used for bike jerseys. Merino wool is particularly popular because it is temperature-regulating and anti-odour in a natural way.
Furthermore, the most important features of a bike jersey include:
As a general rule: bike jerseys should be functionally featured and cut in such a way that they fit close to the body, but at the same time give you the freedom of movement you need in the saddle. And yet there are small differences depending on the area of use.
The be-all and end-all of a road bike jersey, for example, is a close fit, as this is where low air resistance is particularly important. Mountain bikers, on the other hand, love a casual fit. That's why jerseys for downhill or enduro biking are cut slightly wider than road bike jerseys. Many of these mountain bike jerseys are also equipped with a goggle cleaning cloth integrated into the waistband so that you can quickly clean your goggles from dirt splashes after a muddy ride. Everyday bikers or all those who prefer to take it easy on their trekking or e-bike have a free choice. Whether tight-fitting or casual cut, long sleeve or short sleeve jersey, merino wool jersey or synthetic fiber, every cyclist will find the right tops at Transa.
