Which cycling clothes at which temperature? Tips for the right cycling clothes

Which cycling clothing at which temperature?

The time has come, the sun has been shining for a few weeks now, but today you can really cycle short-short. Let's ride!

However, it is sometimes difficult to estimate. What do you wear at what temperature? We are happy to give you advice. Of course, it differs per person what is comfortable, but it is a good guideline.

Between 0 and 8 degrees

Which cycling clothing at which temperature?

Choose a good cycling jacket or winter jersey with a long-sleeved undershirt. Complete your clothing with a sleeveless windstopper during the really cold and windy days. Long warm winter pants, gloves, overshoes, gaiter and a beanie.

A good cycling jersey is essential. It is an investment, but you will definitely benefit from it during your rides.

Between 8 and 12 degrees

Choose long pants, or shorts with leg pieces. Also a shirt with long sleeves (or sleeve pieces), undershirt and windstopper.

Now it's time for long sleeves and a slightly thicker cycling shirt with, for example, a light fleece inside. You can also wear a sleeveless windbreaker over this. A cycle vest is lightweight and easy to put away in the pocket of your cycling jersey.

Between 12 and 18 degrees

Which cycling clothing at which temperature?

Choose short cycling pants, possibly supplemented with leg warmers. Furthermore, a summer shirt with long sleeves is recommended. Or just short sleeves with arm warmers of course. Under the shirt you wear an undershirt with short sleeves. These shirts not only keep you warm, but the shirts are also moisture-wicking (useful when sweating) and quick-drying. The wind breaker is also recommended.

Between 18 and 25 degrees

Which cycling clothing at which temperature?

Short-short is the advice. Choose shorts and a light summer shirt. Wear a sweat shirt underneath to wick away moisture. An undershirt also provides a real layer of air that cools down and absorbs sweat during high temperatures. Wear a cycling shirt with a long zipper so that you can regulate the temperature by opening or closing the zipper.

If you leave in the morning just below this temperature, a windstopper is handy. This has no sleeves, an open back and therefore does not get too warm quickly. Yet the front offers just enough warmth to break the morning chill.
