Popular Specialized clothing

There are an enormous variety of different products to choose from in this collection, but some of the most popular include cycling jerseys, bib shorts , socks, gloves and jackets. Whilst you can wear anything you like while cycling, this set of basics is the best kit to get you started.

When buying a Specialized cycling jersey the most important considerations are going to be the fit and what material is used. Moisture wicking materials to help keep you dry are the most popular and materials like merino wool are often used for this purpose. Consider whether you want a lightweight jersey or something more substantial and there are many designs with both long and short sleeves, depending on your preference. Features like pockets and high necks are handy additions too.

Whilst cycling shorts may often just look like normal Lycra or nylon shorts, they are actually made containing padding that helps to provide extra cushioning when riding your bike. Not only is this more comfortable it also helps to prevent chafing after long rides. Bib shorts are increasingly popular as they are less likely to become dislodged or need adjusting when cycling and are preferred by many cyclists. Bear in mind as well that if you're not entirely comfortable in Lycra, and if aerodynamics aren't your top priority, there are looser ranges of cycle shorts available.

Specialized clothing also includes accessories like cycling gloves and socks, the type of which you choose to wear often depends on the weather conditions. Look for gloves with plenty of padding to help prevent blisters and sore hands, whilst socks should be moisture wicking as a matter of standard to keep you comfortable.
