Singlet for road cycling in summer: our tip!

Why should I wear more clothes in summer? That's quite illogical, isn't it? We've looked into the matter and provide 3 good reasons why wearing a singlet when road cycling in high temperatures makes perfect sense.

3 good reasons for a singlet when road cycling in summer

What should you wear in summer when you’re out on your road bike? Less is more, is often the motto. But is that really true? No, we don’t think so. Especially in high temperatures and sweaty activities, you benefit from a first, close-fitting baselayer on your body. We have summarised the three most important reasons for this:

  • The singlet increases the surface area of the body. This makes it easier to transport sweat away.
  • The singlet forms an additional layer that, at best, quickly removes sweat and does not absorb moisture itself. This makes the skin feel dry. Comfort is significantly increased.
  • The risk of catching a cold is also prevented during longer, cooler passages, such as forest passages or downhill runs. A cold in fine weather is very annoying. Who wants to miss the best days of the cycling season due to illness?

What is so special about our singlet?

We are convinced that our road bike singlets are unique. They offer decisive advantages over other models:

  • Our transtex® fabric transports sweat to the outside better and faster than any other material.
  • It hardly absorbs any liquid itself and therefore stays pleasantly dry.
  • No unpleasant odour develops. transtex® needs no chemical finish and no questionable silver ions. This is especially important for singlets that are worn directly on the skin.

You can find out more about transtex® on our information page transtex® – The smart air conditioning system.

Shirt, functional singlet, baselayer, functional underwear. Whatever you want to call it, a baselayer under your jersey has many advantages and helps you get the most out of yourself and your rides. High temperatures are more bearable for the body and sweating has never been so pleasant. Find out why functional underwear also makes sense in summer for other sweaty sports.
