Cycling Clothing for Speed Lovers
Those who got into road cycling should invest in close-fitting, aerodynamic cycling clothes. These garments increase saddle comfort and provide unrestricted freedom of movement as well as best breathability on the bike.
Please find below the must-haves for your racing kit!
Summer Racing Kits
In summer, you are often bothered by the heat and the dazzling sun. Thus, your summer cycling kit should be designed to keep you cool on fast-paced summer tours and perfectly protect you from harmful UV rays.
For hot days, your cycling clothes should above all be breathable. This guarantees best ventilation in high temperatures and during intensive training sessions.
Besides, it makes sense to choose textiles that offer good UV protection. The level of UV protection is indicated in the product description on the respective product page.
Must-haves for your summer racing kit:
Available with short sleeves, long sleeves or sleeveless – depending on the temperature and personal preferences. The only thing that’s important is that the material is very breathable and that it offers good UV protection.
Available as waist shorts or bib shorts. It is also advisable to choose road cycling shorts with a gentle compression effect to support blood flow and muscles.
Short Sleeve Base Layer or Singlet
Especially in summer, it’s important to wear a good quality base layer. Functional fibres effectively wick excess moisture and heat away from your body and move it to the next layer.
Road Shoes
with Cleat Mount
Light upper materials with large mesh panels provide best ventilation on warm days.
Featuring three holes arranged in a triangle, road bike shoes allow you to mount cleats and thus use them in combination with pedals with 3 bolt standard.
A rule of thumb: The stiffer the sole, the better the energy is transferred to the pedals. At ROSE Bikes, you’ll find everything ranging from road shoes with nylon soles for beginners via shoes with composite soles through to shoes with high-end full carbon sole for pros.
Breathable road cycling socks keep your feet comfortably dry and cool.
A must-have! A light road bike helmet with many large vents and internal ventilation channels even provides a constant air flow in high temperature for a cool head and maximum safety while riding.
Light, padded short finger gloves protect your hands and joints from micro-vibrations from the road surface. This helps prevent fatigue and reduces stress on the wrists.

For autumn and winter, you should choose garments that keep you warm while protecting you from the elements.
The major brands have developed special winter cycling clothing made of thermal fabric to perfectly protect you from cold temperatures and draughts. The fabric provides best insulation. In addition, the garments often feature a membrane, a thin layer of plastic sheeting that keeps away wind and rain. Thus, you don’t even have to stay at home on bad weather days!

Whether with short sleeves, long sleeves or in combination with a jacket – depending on temperature and personal preferences, you can choose from a wide range of warm thermal road bike jerseys for the cold season.

Bicycle Touring Clothing for Summer
Summertime is the time for bike holidays, relaxed weekend trips and daily commutes to the office or supermarket – to make sure you are perfectly dressed for your tours, ROSE offers a huge choice of cycle touring clothing. Ranging from cycling socks through to bicycle bags you’ll find everything you need.
Summer cycling kits are all about breathability. They should be made from light fabrics that effectively wick moisture off to the outside. This is the weakness of cotton fibres that are often used for traditional shirts or trousers. Even though cotton is good at absorbing moisture, it won’t move it away to the outside. This will make you feel damp and cold. In contrast to cotton clothes, our cycle touring clothing is made from functional fibres like polyester. This guarantees best moisture management and a pleasantly dry feeling – even on hot days.
We’ll show you how to properly dress for summer cycle touring.
Must-haves for your summer bicycle touring kit:
Cycling Jersey or Technical Shirt
Cycle tourers and leisure cyclists can find a huge range of shirts for tours in sunny weather, cycling holidays or daily commutes in summer. Depending on taste and riding style, you can choose a classic short sleeve cycling jersey – or you go for our technical button-through shirts, blouses or technical shirts that keep you comfortably cool thanks to high breathability.
Cycling Shorts or Trekking Trousers
Baggy shorts or long trekking trousers with zip-off legs are highly popular among cycle tourers. Thanks to a zip-off lower leg, you can easily turn those trousers into shorts.
Long softshell trousers are good for colder days, while you should definitely also have a pair of waterproof trousers with you on rainy days.
Many cycle tourers use a cotton undershirt as a base layer underneath a shirt or jacket. For best functionality though, you should rather wear a base layer made of functional fibres like polyester.
The structure of functional fibres wicks moisture away just as good as cotton – however, whereas cotton holds a tremendous amount of water and leaves a damp, cold feeling on the skin, functional fibres move moisture to the next layer to always keep you comfortably dry and cool.
You can choose between short sleeve base layers and sleeveless singlets for a perfectly functional outfit.
Just like undershirts, high-quality functional briefs are an important part of your functional sports outfit. Thanks to high breathability, undershorts will keep you pleasantly cool and dry. At ROSE Bikes, you can shop unpadded undershorts or cycling briefs with integrated seat pad. An integrated chamois offers high comfort when riding long distances.
Cycling Shoes with Cleat Mount
or Flat Pedal Shoes
Cycle tourers can choose from a wide range of cycling shoes. Flat pedal shoes that are specifically designed for use with platform pedals or flat pedals are extremely popular. They feature a flexible rubber sole with a sophisticated rubber compound for added grip on all grounds and on the pedals, as well as for high comfort when walking.
When riding long distances and requiring best power transfer to the pedals, you should go for MTB shoes, trekking shoes or cycling sandals with cleat mount. Two parallel slots in the sole allow you to mount cleats to use the shoes with pedals using a 2-bolt system. For better power transfer to the pedal.
To keep your feet pleasantly dry and cool you should wear special cycling socks. These socks are made from extremely breathable fabric – perfect for warm days!
A perfectly fitting bike helmet is an essential part of your cycling kit. A helmet should fit snug around your head without wobbling or slipping for best protection. When riding in high temperatures, you should also make sure the helmet has enough vents and air channels for ventilation. At ROSE Bikes, you can find a wide range of trekking and city helmets for every taste and head size.
Light, padded short finger gloves protect your hands and joints from micro-vibrations from the road surface. This helps prevent fatigue and reduces stress on the wrists. For especially warm days, you should choose light outer fabrics made of mesh. An anti-slip palm provides maximum grip on the handlebar.
Sports Bra
(for women)
A light, breathable sports bra is a must-have for maximum support during sport activities. We offer sports bras for maximum performance in the saddle.
Sports Glasses
(optional)
Especially on sunny days you should protect yourself from harmful UV rays. Therefore, we offer a wide range of sunglasses. Whether tinted, self-tinting, mirrored or casual for daily life – here you are sure to find the right pair of sunglasses for your bike tour, cycling holidays or daily commutes.
On bike tours and cycling holidays, the weather can change while you ride. When heading off in the morning, it’s often cold and foggy. As soon as the sun comes out though, it’s getting warm. In the afternoon, heavens might suddenly open. When wearing the right cycling jacket, you will be perfectly prepared for every eventuality.
We stock high-quality waterproof rain jackets for effective protection from rain. For stormy days or downhill rides on colder days, we recommend you to wear windproof windbreaker jackets or windproof vests. Elastic softshell jackets are a great choice for light protection from the cold, rain and wind which is why they are becoming increasingly popular.
Backpack or Bike Bag
(optional)
Whether for carrying your shopping, commuting to work or doing a bike tour – the bicycle bags and backpacks ROSE offers have enough storage space and allow you to comfortably carry your equipment or shopping.
We stock high-quality backpacks as well as special women’s and kids’ backpacks for your next tour.

Bicycle Touring Clothing for Winter
Those who don’t want to do without weekend tours or daily commutes with their touring or e-bike in winter should dress properly to keep warm. You should make sure the garments you wear are made from insulating material that prevents or at least reduces the penetration of cold.
Layering is a great way to perfectly prepare yourself for all temperatures and weather conditions. Layering means wearing several layers, e.g. a short sleeve base layer with a long sleeve jersey and a thermal jacket. If you get too warm or take a break in a café, you can simply take off the jacket.
Ranging from long cycling underpants through to insulated thermal jackets – we’ll show you what you need for cycle touring.
Must-haves for your winter bicycle touring kit:
Cycling Jersey or Technical Shirt
On colder days, you should wear a long sleeve shirt made of functional fabrics that protects you from cold while wicking excess moisture off to the outside. You have the choice between classic long sleeve cycling jerseys and technical long sleeve shirts. Of course, you can also combine a short sleeve cycling jersey or bike shirt with a jacket – depending on how flexible you would like to be and how cold it is outside. Our button-through shirts for women and men made of insulating, breathable material are also perfect for coffee breaks.
In the cold season you should wear long cycling trousers. They are specifically adapted to cycling and thus follow all your movements without chafing or constricting. What’s more, they protect you from cold wind and light rain.
For in-between seasons, zip-off trousers are a great alternative. A lower leg zip allows you to convert the trousers into shorts with a flick of the wrist. For bad weather, you should always have a pair of waterproof trousers with you.
In winter, a base layer provides effective insulation against the cold. Functional fibres keep you comfortably warm, while being very breathable to wick away sweat and excess heat and move it to the next layer. A short sleeve or long sleeve cycling undershirt made of insulating material for instance would be a good choice as a base layer.
Base layers with a high percentage of merino wool are also a good choice. This fabric feels pleasantly soft on the skin and has naturally odour-inhibiting and breathable properties.
ROSE stocks a wide range of cycling briefs. You can shop briefs or long underpants without seat pad to protect yourself from the cold. Besides, you can shop padded briefs and underpants for more comfort on long tours.
Cycling briefs with a windproof panel in front are also a great choice, as they protect sensitive body parts from cold draughts.
Cycling Shoes with Cleat Mount
or Flat Pedal Shoes
Cycle tourers and leisure cyclists can choose from a wide range of cycling shoes. However, you should first decide whether you want to ride with our without system pedals. Those who prefer traditional platform pedals or flat pedals should have a look at our flat pedal shoes featuring a special rubber compound in the sole for best grip on the pedal and on all grounds.
If you prefer clipless pedals, you can choose between our MTB shoes and trekking shoes. They come with holes in the sole to mount cleats.
Especially for the cold season, we stock insulating winter shoes that protect from the cold, rain and wind.
Insulating cycling socks are a great choice for colder days. A high percentage of merino wool protect from the cold. Our special waterproof socks are the ideal choice for rainy weather and all those who ride through every puddle.

Underhelmet/ Hat

No more cold fingers! Cycling gloves are a must-have for winter riding. We stock long finger gloves and thermal winter gloves. As they are made from functional fabrics, they offer excellent protection from the cold, wind and rain. Thus, they keep your hands warm on cold days.
