Waterproof cycling clothes that provide effective protection against rain

If we want to cycle when the weather is drizzly or rainy, we have two options. Either we hop on the indoor trainer and do a workout from the convenience of our own home, or we step out of our comfort zone and brave the weather outside. Both options offer benefits, but those who venture outdoors should consider a more substantial layer of clothing.

To avoid returning cold and wet, it is essential to equip yourself with high-quality membrane or insulated clothing that provides optimal thermal comfort and protects against inclement weather. Below we explore different types of bicycle wet weather gear and offer guidance on selecting the most suitable clothes for cycling in the rain. This will allow you to fully enjoy your rides, even in the rain and cold.

The market for membrane materials provides a diverse selection of fabrics suited for various weather conditions. However, for waterproof cycling wear to effectively shield against rain while ensuring comfort during rides, it must fulfill several essential criteria. In summary, a high-quality membrane fabric should possess the following characteristics:

1) Wind resistance - prevents cold air from penetratiing.
2) Effective thermoregulation - helps maintain a stable body temperature.
3) Breathability - prevents overheating.
4) Waterproof material - keeps raindrops from passing through.

Our clients include professional cyclists and those who face inclement weather in their work. As a result, most of our waterproof cycling clothes materials meet these specific needs.

Now, let’s discuss how to choose the right product based on the weather conditions.

Gilets

Our All-Rounder gilets are an essential item for every cyclist. They are lightweight, compact, and highly functional, making them ideal for use from spring to autumn. This gilet offers reliable protection against wind and unpredictable weather conditions. Made from a waterproof membrane, it effectively shields your torso while ensuring optimal comfort during your ride.

Jackets

Waterproof cycling jackets are among our best-selling products for combating bad weather. In our collection, you will find a variety of colors that enhance safety and visibility in the rain. A waterproof bike jacket is perfect not only for riding in wet conditions but also in colder temperatures. Thanks to an inner layer with fine brushing, these jackets provide additional insulation.

Shorts

Anyone who has ever gotten wet when biking knows how uncomfortable it can be to have wet buttocks and thighs. That's why we offer waterproof cycling shorts to help delay that uncomfortable chill and keep you warm. They also feature insulated bibs for maximum comfort.

Rain Jacket

If you're seeking the best protection against rain while ensuring excellent breathability, our eVent rain jacket is the ideal choice. With its advanced membrane technology, it provides reliable protection even during heavy downpours. For maximum water resistance, the raincoat features taped seams and a sealed zipper to minimize the potential for leaks.

Overshoes and Gloves

Fingers and toes are particularly vulnerable to cold when riding in the rain. Therefore, waterproof cycling overshoes and waterproof cycling gloves are essential accessories for cyclists who want to continue riding in wet weather.

At first glance, cycling in the rain might not seem like an ideal way to spend your free time. However, there is a sense of achievement in pushing through challenging conditions while others may choose to stay home. Having rain protection when cycling is crucial for enjoying your ride without worry. The right equipment ensures that you remain comfortable and can appreciate your ride despite the unpredictable weather. When wearing functional waterproof clothing, you won’t need to worry about getting soaked, feeling cold, or being uncomfortably damp, allowing you to focus entirely on your ride.

The insert, known among cyclists as the 'chamois’ or ‘pad’, is probably the most important part of any pair of cycling shorts. The quality of the pad is crucial for comfort and performance when cycling. A properly designed pad minimizes pressure on sensitive areas, provides ergonomic support and helps prevent blisters or abrasions.
