Selecting a Pro Cycling Jersey
Styles
The most common style in a pro cycling jersey is the short sleeved version. These jerseys are made out of special material that will wick the water away from the individual’s skin while they ride to keep them at a more constant temperature during the course of the race. The short sleeved versions can range in length from a capped sleeve to a full short sleeve, depending on the desire of the rider. There are some of these pro cycling jerseys that will zip all the way down the front of them making them easier to take on and off without pulling it over the head at all. There are others that will only zip down to the navel area, which make them easier to put on and take off. Finally, there is the style of pro cycling jersey which only zips down to the chest area, allowing enough room to get the jersey off of the head. All of the jerseys have a mock turtleneck neckline so that the body is very wind efficient for the ride.
Another difference in design in pro cycling jerseys is what sorts of pockets are available in the jersey. There are some that have about 3 pockets in the rear of the jersey to allow snacks to be kept there for energy during the ride. There are others that have no pockets at all in them. The pro cycling jerseys for women may have built in bras while others will require that the individual wears a bra in addition to the jersey. These jerseys are designed to be worn over the racing bibs that are worn on the bottom, having suspenders that keep the shorts in place. Each of these pieces of clothing are made to stay securely in place during the course of the ride, allowing the rider to stand and sit without the clothing becoming bunched up and uncomfortable.
