The right clothing for the right bike

Biking is fun and keeps you fit; and the right bike wear is absolutely essential. Your clothing must perform many different, and often contradictory functions at once. It must keeping you protected whilst still allowing freedom of movement. No compromises should be made, as health and safety should always be your number one priority. From the pro cyclist to the casual cruiser, every rider requires cycling clothing that is perfectly adapted to them. High-quality functional materials play a very important role in cycling. These materials are repeatedly tested and improved especially for performance clothing, before being brought to the market by leading manufacturers.

High-quality bikewear is versatile and made from materials with special characteristics.

Effective protection for your head

When cycling, you should always protect your head. Even if there’s no specific helmet requirement where you’re riding, we all know the gamble you take if you go without a bike helmet. A fairly mild fall can have life changing consequences if you don’t take care of your noggin. The off-putting oddly egg-shaped helmets of the past have long been replaced by sleekly-designed helmets in fresh and modern colours; so you no longer have any aesthetic excuses to leave the helmet at home! Here’s a few things to consider when buying a helmet:

• Does the helmet fit correctly and sit firmly on your head without being uncomfortable?
• Are the back of your head, forehead and temples covered by the helmet?
• If your helmet meets all of these safety criteria, then you can be confident of its safety performance.

All other factors will affect the wearing comfort. Your new cycling helmet should feel pleasant, not too heavy and provide good ventilation. It should also offer good adjustability for a tailored fit to your head. Examples of adjustability systems include the Twin Axis Gear (which adjusts height and width) or Monomatic (for singled-handed adjustments).
