How to Find Bicycle Clothing for Women

There are many different styles and sizes of women's bicycle clothing.  Bicycle clothing is offered in many colors and also for every season.  The clothing is made for comfort and safety when biking.  Shirts, shorts and accessories are available for women in the bicycle clothing department or specialty shops. 

• Choose a top.  Bicycle shirts are available in short sleeve, long sleeve and sleeveless.  The tops are offered in many different colors and sizes.  You can also get the bicycle tops with zippers, buttons or stripes.  The material is a synthetic blend that keeps moisture and sweat away from the body.   It also allows the skin to breathe.  The tops are form fitting.  Women's bicycle clothing tops are more tailored than men’s.  The shoulders are narrow and more room in the chest area.


• Choose a pair of bottoms or shorts.  The shorts are form fitting and made of a synthetic blend material.  The length of the shorts are mid thigh.  Shorts also come in a baggy style with sewn in underwear.  Women can also get pants.  The pants are similar to sweatpants but they are fitted at the ankles.  This is so the material does not get tangled in the spokes.  Women's bicycle bottoms are available in many different colors, designs and sizes.


• Buy accessories.  Wristbands and headbands are great accessories.  Wristbands will stop the sweat from getting onto the palms of your hands.  Headbands help keep the sweat out of the rider's eyes.  Caps and visors are also available.  They keep the sun out of your eyes.  Most accessories are unisex but they are available in more feminine colors for women.
