Cycling Apparel
Cycling apparel has come a long way since the 1890s when ladies wore full-length dresses and gentlemen sported jackets and ties. Today, functional apparel is the cyclist's primary consideration.Both recreational and competitive cyclists are now more comfortable due to the specially developed, state-of-the-art clothing. Brightly colored fabrics with Lycra® brand spandex create an aerodynamic advantage when styled into formfitting shorts, tights and jerseys. Lightweight jackets made from soft, strong Supplex® nylon protect cyclists from harsh weather without adding bulk. And the thermal insulating qualities of ThermaStat(TM) performance fabrics enable cyclists to stay comfortably warm in cool weather.
Another fabric preferred by cyclists is CoolMax® performance fabrics. Used in jerseys, shorts, socks, and liners, CoolMax® channels perspiration away from the body enabling moisture to quickly evaporate keeping riders dry and comfortable in all temperatures.
According to Greg LeMond, 1992 Tour DuPont winner, "In pro cycling, the wrong choice of equipment can kill you. I look for gear that will give me a competitive edge during a race. My uniforms do just that. They're made with a blend of CoolMax® with Lycra®."
