The answer is simple - it depends on the type of cycling you do, the time of year and the weather.

Many people may wonder why they need to buy cycling clothes separately when they could just wear normal clothes. This is perfectly fine but if you are going to be spending a lot of time on your bike there are many advantages to wearing clothing designed for cycling.
The right shirt or jacket for cycling varies depending on the purpose and the weather. For warmer weather, a good long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirt in technical material or merino wool will do. Make sure that the shirt also protects you from the sun, for example on your shoulders.
If you cycle a lot, it's a good idea to have a lightweight jacket that is windproof and possibly waterproof, and long enough, especially on the back. Also a good shell jacket brings extra comfort to your commute and keeps you dry when you're cycling.

The choice of cycling shorts should be based on your own cycling needs. If you spend longer periods of time on the bike and cycle longer distances, we recommend investing in a good pair of cycling pants or liners with a seat pad.
If there is no need for any padding, it is important to find trousers that are comfortable, allow full movement and are narrow enough that the pants don't get in the way of cycling.
For commuting, we also strongly recommend cycling shell pants, as the roads can be muddy in rainy weather!

Depending on your cycling trip, you'll find a wide variety of bags and backpacks in our range. If you need to carry more stuff, you should choose bags that can be attached to the bike to distribute the weight more evenly.
On commuting and day trips, you can also easily manage with a good backpack suitable for cycling. Water repellency is also a good feature to keep everything you need dry if you're cycling in rainy weather!
