Which type of cycling bottoms to choose and for which discipline?
Cycling shorts and bib shorts
For your shorter bike rides, such as going shopping or riding around the neighborhood, non-bib shorts, or strapless cycling shorts, are ideal. They are more affordable and easier to use, perfect for bathroom breaks. Bib shorts are very popular among many cyclists. The bib short is a cycling short with an elastic waistband and shoulder straps to prevent pressure on the abdomen while pedaling. The shoulder straps also ensure better blood circulation, and by extension, oxygen. Most cycling bib shorts are equipped with a comfortable chamois to reduce the risk of irritation and discomfort on the saddle.
Tights, Bib Tights & MTB Pants
Long cycling tights, also known as bib tights, keep you warm and protected from the weather during the cooler seasons. We have several different models of men's cycling bib pants, such as bib tights, thermal bib tights, as well as high-performance mountain bike pants. Most models are made of insulating, breathable, and stretchy fabrics for your comfort! Most cyclists prefer bib tights, but comfort is a personal choice.
Mountain bike shorts
Mountain bike enthusiasts, we've got what you need. Whether you practice cross-country, enduro, or fat-biking, we have the appropriate mountain bike shorts for you. We recommend a slightly looser fit for freedom of movement in a pedaling position and to add body protection.
How to choose the right base layer?
The function of a base layer is to wick away moisture and sweat to keep you as dry and warm as possible. To avoid getting too hot or too cold, it is essential to choose the appropriate combination for your type of activity. To find the one that meets your needs, you must determine the intensity of the activity, the outdoor conditions, and your degree of cold sensitivity. Here are some recommendations:
Low-intensity activity:
For low-intensity activities, we recommend a warmer base layer. The warmest combinations are usually made of merino wool (weight between 250 and 320). Combinations made of a blend of synthetic fibers and merino wool are ideal for those who want an equally performing piece, but less expensive. We recommend layering intermediate and outer layers to keep your body warmer for longer.
High-intensity activity:
For high-intensity activities, you should choose a base layer that wicks away moisture and dries quickly to prevent you from freezing. Opt for a close-fitting cut for better breathability during physical exertion. Merino wool layers have thermoregulatory characteristics that adapt to all weather conditions. Plus, they have antimicrobial and anti-odor properties for very active people. We recommend a weight of between 120 to 150 for merino wool layers. However, a synthetic fiber base layer is a good alternative for those who cannot wear wool. Synthetic fabrics are just as breathable and warm.
