Jackets

Obviously people can cycle in any clothing, but in order to feel comfortable on the bike, it is worth getting some decent cycle clothing that is tailor made for the job. Cycling specific jackets are different to a normal jacket. Cycling jackets tend to have longer arms to compensate for the stretched out arms that is naturally adopted in the cycling position. Cycling jackets also have tail flaps, this prevents the jackets from riding up your bike while cycling, which exposes your back to the elements. Cycling jackets come in various weights to suit all conditions, from light summer showers to the darkest wettest winter riding that we are subjected to. Typically cycling jackets are made from a breathable material and also include features, such as, specially designed ventilation and hi-viz reflective material for added safety.
