VAUDE

Here you will find the perfect, sustainably-produced gear for cycling tours, bikepacking or everyday rides.

As soon as you go out into the fresh air, you need a practical outdoor jacket that reliably protects you from cold temperatures, strong winds, rain or snow. For outdoor adventures big and small, a jacket should not only be waterproof and windproof, but also breathable to ensure good ventilation during strenuous tours.

Mountain bikers, bike travellers and road cyclists are sure to find the right cycling jacket here. They have a longer back panel to prevent slipping during the ride and they ensure good visibility in road traffic.

Cyclists on road bikes need a cycling jersey with a snug fit in order to ensure good aerodynamics. However, the cycling jersey must not constrict or pinch, so that you can enjoy your ride even on long tours. Our VAUDE cycling jerseys have a longer back panel and a silicone waistband to prevent slipping. The jerseys can be fully or partially opened with a front zip. Cycling jerseys are elastic and offer high freedom of movement for all cycling adventures.

A cycling jersey is also ideal for mountain biking. A longer back panel ensures that your back is well protected from wind and sun and it prevents the jersey from riding up at the back. The casual fit is not constricting and it makes you look good on the bike.

Cycling jerseys for commuters and bike travellers A functional cycling shirt also pays off on bike travels. On multi-day tours and bikepacking, your luggage is limited and you have little room for spare clothes. That's why bike travellers go for a breathable cycling jersey made of easy-care material that looks good in the city and during leisure time as well. The same is true for commuters who ride to work: Thanks to a functional material combined with an urban design, you are also ideally dressed in the city.

Anyone who rides their bike regularly knows: Cycling trousers are a must-have! The cycling trousers are the contact point between body and bike – the buttocks have to withstand a lot. Padded cycling trousers take away the pressure and provide more comfort in the saddle.

While tight-fitting cycling shorts provide the necessary aerodynamics on a road bike, mountain bikers prefer casual MTB shorts with padded inner shorts. The advantage of cycling shorts: They have pockets in which small items can be stowed. The elastic material leaves enough freedom of movement for full trail action.

Eco-friendly bike trousers by VAUDE

Our VAUDE cycling trousers are made from environmentally friendly, sustainable materials. The partially recycled materials keep our environment clean. In addition, we ensure fair working conditions and wages in production. Our cycling trousers for men carry our strict Green Shape sustainability label, which stands for functional, ecological as well as fair products.

Those who want to carry a backpack on the bike usually choose a small and slim model. Whether on extreme trails with the MTB or on your road bike commute in the morning: You won’t use a voluminous backpack with a lot of storage space, but a model that fits snugly against the body. Energy bar, hydration bladder, spare clothes, valuables and repair kit – everything’s perfectly packed on the back. Bike backpacks for women and men offer an interior with numerous compartments to store equipment and have it quickly at hand when needed. The centre of gravity of a bike backpack is close to the back and the back plate leaves enough freedom of movement. This is especially important for mountain biking.

What’s more, ventilation plays an important role with VAUDE bike backpacks. A ventilation system provides the necessary fresh air supply and prevents excessive sweating at the back. To protect the contents of the backpack from wind and weather, our bike backpacks are waterproof and some are equipped with an additional rain cover. So you can brave mud and rain!

Those who ride a lot in everyday life usually use panniers for the luggage rack. They can be removed quickly, offer a lot of storage space and hardly influence the riding behaviour. Panniers with roll closure offer quick access and can be carried with the integrated shoulder strap.

VAUDE bike bags with backpack function have the advantage that they can also be carried on the back – which is especially practical for bike commuters. Further advantages of panniers and backpacks for bikes: Our models for bike commuters have extra storage compartments for a laptop, folders or important documents. With their cool look, the bike bags also cut a fine figure when strolling through the city.

Panniers are also very practical during leisure time: On the way to the lake, on a Sunday trip with the family or while shopping, there is room for everything you need. A waterproof bike bag also protects the contents from wind and weather.

When deciding on the right cycling shoe, you should first think about what your shoe should be capable of – the different models are just as varied as the tours or the equipment and the intended use of the bikes themselves. Not only personal factors such as foot shape or width are decisive for choosing the right footwear, but also the construction features of the shoe. This includes the type of shoe, materials, construction, sole hardness, intended use and, of course, detailed solutions of the individual models. All VAUDE shoes are manufactured without the use of PVC and the harmful plasticisers (phthalates) it contains. What’s more, a PFC-free Eco Finish makes the shoes water-repellent.
