Function
Bicycle clothing is typically form-fitting to eliminate drag and give the cyclist a full range of movement. Wicking fabrics keep the cyclist cool in the summer and warm in the winter by removing moisture from your skin.
Shirts/Jerseys
Cycling jerseys for women add support, provide ventilation and wick away moisture. Jerseys often have pockets on the back to conveniently store food or other biking essentials.
Shorts
Bike shorts are typically made out of a spandex and nylon blend, which stretches with movement and keeps the female cyclist cool and comfortable. Cycling shorts designed for women provide padding to cushion the seat area for more comfort on a long ride.
Socks
Bike socks are made from polyester or polypropylene and wick away sweat preventing blisters and keeping feet cool and dry. Socks for women are designed to fit smaller feet comfortably.
Accessories
For cool-weather riding, the cyclist needs a good pair of cycling gloves. Manufacturers also make bike pants, jackets and vests in sizing specifically for women.
