The Cycling Shorts
The cycling short is an essential item to have in a cyclist's wardrobe. The cycling short is typically made of Lycra (spandex), a lightweight, stretchy, and comfortable fabric. Opt for a high-quality cycling short with few or flat seams to avoid discomfort during long distances. The majority of cycling shorts offer excellent moisture and sweat management to keep the body as dry as possible during training.
In addition to moisture-wicking technologies in fabrics, windproof and hydrophobic technologies are also available to protect the body from water and wind. Sugoi offers Zap technology, integrating reflective elements into its clothing for better visibility in low light conditions. Also, the Gore brand offers Gore-Tex and Gore Windstopper cycling shorts to make clothing waterproof and windproof.
Cycling Shorts with or without Bibs?
Strap-free cycling shorts are intended for shorter rides. They are more affordable, straightforward to use, and perfect for restroom breaks.
Bib shorts are generally highly appreciated by cyclists for longer days on the saddle. The bib short is a cycling short with an elastic waistband and straps to prevent pressure on the abdomen in pedaling position. The braces also ensure better blood circulation and, by extension, oxygen.
Cycling Shorts with or without Chamois?
In general, cycling shorts are equipped with a chamois pad, which is the padded part of a cycling short. The chamois helps to reduce friction, irritation, and impacts on sensitive areas when you are in motion on the saddle.
For optimal protection and comfort, get a chamois cream to protect all the more sensitive areas of the skin. Chamois cream serves as a lubricant for the skin and is easily cleaned with soapy water without leaving traces on the body or clothing.
