Tested and rated: the cycling kits worth your money

In the last 20,000 kilometres ridden on my bike I tried a consistently large number of cycling kits, I picked and reviewed the ones I preferred and that, for different reasons, I consider worth our money. Different price ranges and items to meet the different needs, hope it might help your black week shopping!

Short Bibs

Le Col – Pro Aero Bib Shorts

The most trustable pair of bib shorts I ever had, also if incredibly pricy. They are perfect for long days on the saddle and adapt to different temperatures.

Sportful – Neo Bib Shorts

Basic bibs for short rides or indoor training at a very competitive and convenient price. They are like a basic black tee, you always need one in your wardrobe.

Isadore – Echelon Aero Bib Shorts

Amazing fabric, good comfort and great fitting, the more performance-oriented. Love them especially in warm weather, resist perfectly to high temperatures.

Winter Tights

Isadore – Signature Winter Tights

The warmest tights ever found, below 0 rides are sorted.

Le Col – Hors Categorie Bib Tights

Comfortable and incredibly warm, fitting might be a bit tight.

Castelli – Aero Bib Tight

Great quality and comfort for mid-season rides, not suitable for deep winter if you suffer cold weather like me, the comfort is great.

Fall / Winter Jerseys

Castelli – Gabba

The most iconic jersey on the market, a must-have worth every cent, perfect for mid-season and moody weather.

Isadore – Deep Winter Long Sleeve Jersey

Probably the warmest long jersey I ever had, paired with the merino baselayer it feels unstoppable. Tried the combo with 2-3 degrees and didn’t suffer cold at all.

Le Col – Pro Long Sleeve Jersey

Combines warmness and performance-friendly fitting, a classic I will never get rid of.

Baselayers and headband

Uyn – Fusyon Merino

Incredibly pricey, but it was one of the best winter cycling investments I made. Fabric is a bit rough but warmeness unbeatable.

Isadore – Merino Long Sleeve Baselayer

Not only incredibly warm, but also incredibly soft fabric that doesn’t cause any skin irritation also to delicate demanding skins (aka, mine)

Castelli – Pro Thermal Headband

If I had the chance to purchase just one and only one item for winter cycling, it would be this one. Good Bye freezing ears!
