Whether you're a passionate cyclist or simply enjoy leisurely bike rides, choosing the right clothing can make a world of difference in your cycling experience. Join us in discovering how combining various layers of clothing not only provides comfort and protection but also offers the versatility to adapt to changing weather conditions.
The three main benefits of layering
-
Temperature regulation: When you're in motion while cycling, your body temperature can quickly fluctuate. By wearing layers, you can easily adapt to the conditions. If it starts cold and you start warming up from the exertion, you can remove a layer to prevent overheating.
-
Insulation and warmth: Layers act as insulating barriers. Each layer creates an air space that retains heat. By wearing multiple layers, you can trap heat more effectively than with just one thick layer.
-
Breathability: Various layers provide breathable space. For instance, a moisture-wicking base layer helps to wick sweat away from your skin, while an intermediate layer retains heat and allows moisture to pass through to the outside. This prevents you from getting sweaty and cold.
Opt for ultimate comfort and multiple layers.

LAYER 1: BASE LAYER
Base layers form the essential foundation for a comfortable cycling ride. The insulating moisture-wicking layer sits directly against the skin and helps quickly wick away sweat, keeping your body dry even during intense rides. The smooth, snug fit minimizes friction and prevents skin irritation. This layer is the cornerstone of your cycling outfit.

LAYER 2: INTERMEDIATE LAYER
A cycling jacket or a long-sleeve shirt is the strategic layer that provides insulation and protection against the elements. This allows you to continue enjoying your ride even as the temperature drops. It's also essential for the fabrics in this layer to have sufficient breathability to effectively wick moisture away.

Long-sleeve cycling shirt
A long-sleeve shirt combines warmth and mobility. It's not as thick as a winter jacket but provides enough warmth on a nice autumn day. A technical design combined with breathable fabrics keeps the cold out while wicking moisture away. Especially on dry, windless days, a long-sleeve shirt serves as a great outer layer. If it's windy or raining, then a long-sleeve jersey is the ideal intermediate layer under a rain jacket or body warmer.

LAYER 3: OUTER LAYER
At times, specific weather conditions may call for an additional third layer, such as rain or strong winds. In such cases, a wind jacket or body warmer can be a solution.

Rainjacket
A rain jacket as the outer layer provides protection against unpredictable weather conditions. With waterproof materials and taped seams, a rain jacket keeps you dry during rainy rides, while ventilation openings regulate moisture and heat. Thanks to its lightweight construction and compact foldability, a rain jacket easily fits into your pocket when the sky clears up.

Bodyvest
The front of a body warmer is windproof, while the back is breathable. This way, your torso is protected from cold wind, but your body can still effectively release excess heat. It's ideal to wear over a long-sleeve shirt during a beautiful autumn or spring ride.
