Wool Cycling Clothing, the Natural Choice

Wool cycling clothing is the natural choice when riding in any season. A common problem shared by all cyclists regards the choice of cycling clothes.

Years ago much cycling clothing was made of wool and then synthetic fabrics came along. However, wool cycling clothing has changed and many are returning for excellent reasons whether you are bicycle touring, mountain biking, commuting or on a local training ride.

There are six issues regarding clothing all cyclists face:

No Odor - one of the best features when you are outdoors sweating all day long. Wool provides superior performance when it comes to odor. The surface of the wool fiber is naturally scaly and negatively charged and thus provides a poor surface for bacterial growth. Sweat itself is odor less; the bacteria from the moisture can develop and lead to a smelly garment. Bacteria needs moisture to grow and with the superior wicking ability of wool cycling shorts mildew and odor does not occur.

Regulating temperatures - most people do not realize that wool stays warm in summer and cool in winter so you can wear it year round. In summer the wool fibers pull the excess heat and moisture away from your body. In winter the natural insulating qualities trap dry air and warmth to keep you dry and warm as the wool wicks away moisture from the skin.

Water repellent - you are going to get caught in the rain when riding sometimes. That it is water repellent comes naturally and easily to wool due to the makeup of its fibers which overlap each other.

Wrinkle resistant - this very resilient fiber can even be stretched and bounce back, important when you are out cycling, sometimes in tough conditions.

Durability - the very construction of the wool fiber means that it can bend and stretch easily and therefore last significantly longer than garments made of synthetic fabrics making it a very economical buy in the long term.

Stylish - things have changed and you can now find a wide range of stylish clothing in a variety of colors. Wool products include cycling jerseys, shorts (tights and knickers too), socks , gloves, caps, jackets, leg and arm warmers. They offer a comfortable fit and are non itchy. As more manufacturers develop a line of clothing you can expect an even wider selection.

Your choice of clothing makes a huge difference to your enjoyment while riding and with all of its benefits wool cycling clothing is the natural choice.
