The beautiful days are coming!!! Equip yourself with the BJÖRKA Packs

Cycling is much more than just a sport or a means of transportation; it is a true passion for many. At the heart of this passion is the importance of technical cycling clothingBut why is this type of equipment so essential for cyclists, whether amateur or professional? In this article, we'll explore the importance of technical clothing, how it improves performance and comfort, and why choosing quality products like Björka's can make all the difference.

Why technical clothing is essential for cycling

Cycling is an intensely demanding activity. Weather conditions, ride duration, and intensity of effort can vary considerably. This is where technical clothing comes in, offering benefits that ordinary clothing simply can't match. How should you dress in the mid-season, when it's below 15°C and the sun is shining? Here are some tips for dressing for cycling without feeling cold or too hot, and avoiding injury.

Performance optimization

Technical clothing is designed to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind resistance. For example, choosing a long sleeve jersey pack corsair And what you must not forget when getting ready to go riding during this period is that the sun will warm us on the climbs, because we often stay at low speed. But the wind and the air remain cold and these will cool us down very quickly on flat, open sections as well as on the descents. So you have to think about being good on the climbs, for example by wearing a mid-season jacket.The BJÖRKA thermal jersey is essential and will protect you from the wind, while being less warm than a winter jacket. We recommend combining this jacket with technical undershirts (long sleeves or short sleeves depending on your preference) underneath. You have to remember that this is to be good on the climbs, to avoid getting too hot and sweating too much. If you sweat too much, your layers will get wet and you will catch a cold.

Increased comfort on long rides

Comfort is essential to maintain performance over long distances. Technical fabrics wick away sweat, preventing irritation and chafing. A cycling shorts quality, for example, is equipped with chamois leathers that absorb vibrations and reduce muscle fatigue.

Protection from the elements

Weather conditions can be unpredictable. Technical clothing provides protection against wind, rain and cold. A protective jacket A lightweight jacket can be a crucial asset when the weather changes suddenly. Then, you should take an extra light jacket for descents or flat, open sections. If you're used to it, a Sleeveless vest will be more than enough. Plus, it fits easily into one of your pockets. If you're worried about being cold, the rainproof strada jacket is a warmer alternative, which will protect you against wind and rain.

Key features of technical cycling clothing

When it comes to choosing the right equipment, certain features are essential to ensure maximum benefits.

Breathable and moisture-wicking materials

Fabrics like polyester and spandex are widely used for their ability to wick away sweat. This helps keep you dry and prevents the discomfort of dampness.

Ergonomic cut

A proper fit ensures that the garment stays in place and doesn't restrict movement. Technical clothing is often designed with special attention to joint and muscle areas to facilitate movement.

Visibility and security

Reflective elements are integrated to ensure the cyclist's visibility, especially in low light conditions. This is crucial for safety on the road.

How to choose your technical cycling clothing

Choosing the right equipment depends on several factors, including the type of cycling you do, weather conditions, and personal preferences.

Adapted to the season

For summer, lightweight and breathable clothing is essential. However, for the mid-season periods, it is important to turn to fall-winter clothes designed to retain heat while wicking away perspiration.

Cuts may differ between men and women for optimal fit. For example, Björka offers a dedicated range for female cyclists, such as the women's cycling shorts, adapted to the female morphology.
