Assos Clothing Provides the Right Coverage for the Serious Cyclist
Obviously, for most cyclists, getting the top specification, fastest and most expensive bike is their main priority in order to make them a better rider. However, when you start riding at a amateur, semi-professional or professional level, the clothing that you wear becomes more and more important. No matter how good your bike is and how naturally talented you are, the clothing that you choose can make a huge difference to the results of a race.
There are many different items of clothing to consider when choosing your optimum cycling outfit and they begin with what must be the most important, the helmet. Cycling helmets are without doubt the most crucial item of clothing you should be wearing when cycling. A helmet can be the difference between cuts and bruises when falling off your bike and a serious head injury! The best thing to do when choosing a helmet is to ensure it fits correctly, is comfortable to wear and from a reputable brand such as Giro. However, there are also helmets available which help with the aerodynamics of the cyclists and therefore can improve your time.
Next you need to choose which jersey and short combination you would like to wear. Here there is a huge variety of clothing variants available and it can be dependent on which type of cycling you take part in. For example if you are a triathlete, you would most likely opt for a trisuit as they are the most comfortable for swimming cycling and running. Most cyclists however, opt for a combination of short or long sleeved jerseys and cycling shorts.
Jerseys are perfect for cyclists as they allow the skin to breathe whilst keeping your body temperature constant. Baselayers can be worn underneath jerseys during the winter to help keep warmth in the body when the temperature is much colder outside. The best jerseys such as Assos jerseys also have pockets on the back for cyclists to store their personal belongings. They come in short and long sleeved versions so are suitable for both the summer and winter. Teams normally have their team colours and names printed on as a form of uniform.
Shorts, bibshorts, baggy shorts and undershorts are very much a matter of personal preference and usually require cyclists to test them all to find their preference. Many professional endurance cyclists opt for the padded shorts due to their comfort whilst riding on a saddle whereas sprint cyclists would usually go for the waist cycling shorts. The most important thing to consider is the quality of the material used for example Assos clothing is made from top quality material that will last and will not wear and tear easily.
The other things to consider would be trainers, cycling shoes, overshoes and protective pads. These again are all down to personal preference and it is dependant on what professional level you are riding on to determine what you chose in these categories.
