High Quality Completely Customisable Cycling Apparel for Your Needs

Cycling Apparel forms a distinctive class of sportswear in the world of athletic accessories. Like any other sports apparel, they are designed to keep you cool and dry while riding even for hours and provide an unencumbered feeling so that one can ride without an extra burden of normal clothing. Besides, they need to be close fit as well as flexible so that it does not create any drag.

Was cycling apparel used always this way? No, it was not. Once upon a time, cycling was only a mean of transportation rather than a significant athletic practice. Eventually, it became a sport and one of the best exercises to keep oneself physically fit. At first, cyclists used to wear comparatively heavy woolen clothes that restrict their flow on the track. When wet, it becomes more difficult to keep the same pace and balance. To eliminate such inconvenience, an Italian tailor named Armando Castelli introduced silk in cycling clothing and his silk jerseys got instant popularity for their functional advantages.

After WW2, some new materials such as polyester, nylon, and spandex started to draw the attention of many people. But, with the introduction of a new breed of light-weighted and colorful synthetic fabric in the ‘70s, all these materials started to lose their market share.

In recent years, to improve the functionality in different seasons, diverse designs with a different panel construction, padded liner, and waist style are made available. For example, jerseys are designed with stand-up collars to shade the rider’s neck in summer and long sleeves for more coverage and warmth in winter.

Over the last two decades, the cycling world has seen lots of new inventions and improvements in the designs of Cycling Apparel. They include a wide range of cycling jerseys, shorts, tights, knickers, leg warmers, jackets, and skirts, etc. with vibrant colors for a comfortable ride.
