If you value riding with ease, precision and style, investment in cycling apparel is beyond worthwhile. The right women’s cycling gear can provide:

• Improved movement and flexibility
• Superior moisture wicking and management
• Less irritation and chafing
• Sun, wind and wet weather protection
• A more aerodynamic ride for greater performance

There are products available for a range of cycling styles and environments. For example, our sustainable A-Line collection is lightweight, breathable, and ideal for all-year use and slightly more relaxed in fit. Our women’s All Day range is designed for long ride comfort, developed using sustainable Italian and Swiss fabrics, curated for endurance. Meanwhile, our women’s Race line brings new levels of aerodynamics and comfort, sculpting your body to support your best performance.

The right ladies’ cycling clothes can alleviate the chill of riding on wintery mornings. Selecting accessories and layers built to insulate warmth and wick away the moisture of sweat, such as our undergarments and gloves, will make your ride seamless, and allow you to perform in all temperaments. The option to choose from a variety of layers and accessories allows you to curate the perfect cold weather kit.

The base layer

The base layer works to wick sweat away from your skin and provides extra insulation against the cold winter air. We’ve meticulously refined our skin-sculpting undershirts to wear and last extremely well, moulding to the shape of your body for a seamless fit.

The middle layer

The middle layer provides insulation between the inner and outer layers. We choose innovative SPF50+ fabric for our jerseys that works to expel moisture as you exert energy. There’s the choice of a short or long sleeved jersey depending on riding conditions and preference. If the forecast is set to warm up, some cyclists prefer to skip the middle layer and will simply add an outer layer.

The outer layer

The outer layer helps to protect against the harsher outdoor conditions like rain and wind. Even a rain jacket should be breathable, and our designs include multiple layers and vents to complete the moisture-wicking process together with a hydrophobic treatment to repel water from the outside. You might prefer outwear with sleeves, or choose a gilet to keep your arms free.

The accessories

Keeping your core, head and extremities warm can make all the difference in cold weather and our cycling warmers can help with this. We levelled up to Italian thermal Super Roubaix fabric when developing our warmers, which offers unparalleled warming and wicking characteristics to keep you cosy.

Ultimately what you wear when cycling comes down to personal preference from winter to summer, but the right quality layers can make a crucial difference in comfort, air flow and keeping dry.

As you’ll know, there are a couple of clothing options that are a great idea to steer clear of when embarking on your ride.

Non-breathable fabrics

We carefully engineer our women’s cycling gear for a reason; cycling combines being out in the elements together with working up a sweat. It’s why we focus on breathable fibres and designs to keep you comfortable and dry, improve your performance and help you ride faster or further.

Restrictive fabrics

Nobody wants seams, buttons or rigid fabrics when they ride. We’ve spent many hours cutting panels and refining seams so they sit flat in places that won’t interrupt your cycling experience. It’s these seemingly inconsequential things that make quality performance cycling gear a worthwhile investment.

Our base layers are designed to be worn close to the skin without underwear needed, and have been carefully configured for comfort, ease and aerodynamics.

If you’re new to the cycling scene, you might be wondering about the best women's cycling apparel to start out with. This of course will depend on the cycling location and style. Cycling gear for women is a personal thing, and we offer a range of colours, lengths and performance levels to choose from.
