More Than Just Speed — 5 Comfortable Reasons To Wear A Custom Cycling Kit Made Just For Ladies Barnaby Henry Aug 27·3 min read

You probably know about the speed benefits of wearing performance apparel when cycling.

It makes you more aerodynamic, reduces your drag, and you can travel faster.

That’s far from the only reason that many people wear high-quality cycling-specific gear.

Even if you cycle recreationally and speed isn’t a factor for you — it’s worth looking into specialized apparel.

Let’s talk about why.

No Chafing

When you’re cycling for an extended amount of time, there’s a lot of movement going on.

Regular women’s department store clothing just isn’t designed for it.

Cycling gear isn’t just form-fitting for the aerodynamics, it also helps to keep the clothing from rubbing against you.

An excellent set of gear can save you from a friction burn every time you go for a ride.

2. Temperature Regulation

The only thing worse than being too hot when you’re pedaling is being too cold.

They design premium gear for all types of weather and use a combination of materials strategically placed in different areas to regulate your body heat.

You can get a cooling breeze where you need it, and a warm covering where it counts.

Add a strategically placed zipper for optional extra cooling — and you can stay comfortable at any temperature.

This brings me to my next point…

3. Quick Dry

Even if you keep your body temperature regulated, you’re still getting a workout.

That means sweat.

No one likes it — for me, it’s the most uncomfortable part of any exercise.

Top-notch gear has some really impressive quick-drying technology built-in. It will wick away the unwanted moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable.

4. UV Protection

Even if you keep your temperature down, the sun can still burn you.

The problem with breathable clothing is that it also lets in harmful UV rays.

Top-quality jerseys are specifically designed to prevent this, and they can often provide protection up to UV30 or UV50.

5. The Right Stretch

Cycling isn’t like walking or jogging.

You’re going to do a lot of moving in places that most clothes aren’t meant to stretch.

Obviously, women’s cycling jerseys are built just for this.

A polyester/spandex blend will provide stretch in all the places you need it, and the best gear will also come with silicone grippers, so your jersey stays in place.

There are lots of other reasons to consider a high-quality custom jersey.

They have waterproof pockets. Most ladies’ clothing doesn’t have pockets of any kind — that’s a game-changer.

It doesn’t hurt that they look sweet — and that you can get your own custom colors, logos, and graphics on them.

My favorite reason though, is because I like to invest in premium clothing that will last — and the best companies will provide a crash replacement guarantee.

That means that your new gear will survive a fall — or they’ll send you a new set for free.

What can I say — free is my favorite word.
