In the pursuit of speed and passion, exploring the unknown and freedom, a set of professional and high-quality cycling clothes is undoubtedly your indispensable and faithful companion. Here is some knowledge about cycling clothes!
- Early Forms
Inspiration: The earliest bicycles were designed to resemble ‘horses’, hence the name ‘Trojan Horse’. Influenced by this, the most primitive bicycle riding clothes were designed to resemble ‘knights’, with men wearing bowler hats and open-tailed tuxedos, and carrying long whips. This attire not only reflects the romanticised imagery of cycling, but also the unique position of the bicycle as a new form of transport.
Gender Differences: It is worth noting that in the early stages of the development of cycling clothing, ladies were usually not allowed to engage in cycling due to the restrictions of traditional attitudes. As a result, no women's cycling clothing appeared until 1896.
- Development history
Popularity: In the 1990s, bicycles have become a necessary means of transport for many families. However, at that time, the concept of ‘cycling clothing’ was not yet popular. It wasn't until the end of the twentieth century, with the push of cycling teams and shops, that professional cycling clothing began to develop and gradually came into the limelight.
Price and popularity: Despite the popularity of cycling clothes at the end of the twentieth century, few people were willing to buy them due to their relatively high price (at that time, the price of cycling clothes was almost the same as the monthly salary). This situation limited the popularity of cycling clothes to a certain extent.
Customisation and diversification: Cycling jersey have changed significantly since the 21st century. With the application of advanced technologies such as heat sublimation in plate making, cycling clothing can be customised without any colour limitations and without affecting the performance of the fabric. This change has led to a greater diversity of cycling apparel that meets the needs of different cyclists.
- Brand and Market
Brand development: In the development of cycling clothing, some well-known brands such as Castelli gradually emerged. These brands not only focus on the functionality and comfort of cycling clothing, but also committed to making it a symbol of fashion and personality. For example, Castelli has won the favour of cyclists with its high-quality fabrics, exquisite tailoring and unique design.
Market Competition: With the continuous development of cycling apparel market, more and more businessmen are getting involved in this field. This leads to increasingly fierce competition in the market, and the quality and price of cycling clothes also show a diversified trend. In order to win market share, some brands have started to focus on improving the cost-effectiveness of cycling apparel and personalised customisation services.
- the characteristics of modern cycling apparel
Functionality: modern cycling clothing focuses on functional design, such as quick-drying, high elasticity, thermal insulation, perspiration and other performance enhancements. These features enable cyclists to maintain a comfortable and efficient cycling state in the face of different weather and road conditions.
Safety: In order to increase the safety of cyclists, modern cycling jerseys are often designed with reflective materials and fluorescent colours. These designs allow riders to be clearly recognised by surrounding vehicles and pedestrians at night or in poorly lit environments.
Fashion: In addition to functionality and safety, modern cycling jerseys also focus on fashionable designs. By adopting popular colours, patterns and cuts, cycling clothing has become a symbol of fashion trends.
