Cycling accessories are essential components of every cyclist’s equipment, often underestimated compared to technical clothing, but just as important to ensure the right comfort and optimal performance in the saddle. Technical socks, gloves, shoe covers, sleeves, neck warmers, under-helmets and sunglasses: these are all elements designed not only to improve performance, but also to increase safety and protection in any weather condition.
Every cyclist has different needs, which depend on different factors: those who ride in winter in the morning, for example, will need more thermal protection, while those who tackle long distances in summer will have to prioritize breathability. Similarly, those who practice road cycling will have specific needs in terms of protection, functionality and comfort, different from those who prefer gravel or off-road routes in MTB. To select the right accessories, therefore, it is essential to take into account not only the season but also other aspects such as the type of route, the type of outings, the level of experience, personal needs and the duration of the workouts.
In this article you will find all the useful tips to choose the accessories for cycling best suited to your needs and ensure always maximum comfort and performance, on any type of route.
As with cycling clothing, the choice of accessories also requires careful consideration of different aspects and the right balance between functionality, comfort, protection and adaptability. Here are the main factors and characteristics you should consider before buying:
As we have seen, each cyclist has specific needs: there are those who ride only on weekends and those who train every day, who love long distances on the road and those who prefer dirt tracks, who move in the city and who love cycling in the middle of nature. Everyone has their own style, pace and preferences when it comes to cycling equipment. However, there are some essential accessories that every cyclist should have:
Gloves are essential accessories in cycling equipment, regardless of level of experience, type of discipline or season. They protect your hands from the elements, improve control on the handlebars, absorb vibrations and, in case of a fall, are the first barrier against scratches and abrasions. During winter outings, they maintain warmth and prevent numbness of the fingers, while in warmer months they prevent slippage due to sweat and reduce the risk of blisters and irritation.
In winter, the main problem is loss of sensitivity due to cold. Nalini Logo Thermal Gloves are designed to meet these needs. Made of a thermal fleece fabric with three layers, they offer excellent insulation, protecting your hands even in harsh weather conditions. Their compact and snug design, however, allows you to maintain a good tactile sensitivity, essential for precise control of the bike. The W.R. (Water Resistant) treatment makes them perfect even in light rain or high humidity, while reflective logos improve visibility in low light situations, increasing safety on the roads.
During summer, however, the goal is to keep your hands cool and dry while ensuring a firm and comfortable grip on the handlebars. For the warmer months, therefore, gloves made of light and breathable fabrics are recommended, such as New Summer Gloves by Nalini with non-slip microfiber palm, Equipped with a hexagon-shaped silicone mesh insert that ensures optimal grip even in conditions of intense sweating. The back is made of breathable elastic mesh, which promotes ventilation and prevents overheating. In addition, a convenient fabric hook facilitates the removal of the glove. Having a pair of cycling gloves for the winter and one for the summer will allow you to face every season with the right level of protection and comfort.
Cycling overshoes are one of the most underrated but essential accessories to ensure optimal comfort, protection and performance in the saddle, especially during the colder months when the feet are directly exposed to wind, rain and low temperatures. In addition to insulating, acting as a protective barrier against cold and weather, they also improve aerodynamics and protect the shoes from mud, dust and wear, prolonging their life. For this reason, they are recommended for any type of cyclist: from the competitive cyclist to the gravel rider, to the cycle tourist.
Nalini 3D Winter cover shoes are designed to offer maximum protection even in the most difficult weather conditions. This shoe cover is made of a three-layer thermal fabric, which includes an internal membrane for thermal insulation and a D.W.R. (Durable Water Repellent) treatment applied to the external inserts, able to effectively repel water and moisture. The central 3D windproof fabric insert blocks the entry of cold air without compromising flexibility and comfort during cycling. To ensure maximum grip and resistance even in the wettest days, the YKK rear zip is equipped with anti-rain coating and completed by a reflective garage zip, which improves visibility in the evening hours or in low light conditions.
On the inside, a protective flap prevents rubbing and helps to keep the closure stable. The lower part of the shoe cover is reinforced at the contact points with pedals and frame, for greater durability even in case of intensive use. Thanks to these advanced features, the Bow 3D Winter is the ideal choice for those looking for complete protection, thermal comfort and high resistance.
The windproof vest is another essential accessory in the wardrobe of every cyclist, so much so that it is often considered a real "life saver" when going out under varying conditions. Its main function is to protect the torso from wind and sudden changes in temperature, which occur especially during descents or early morning hours.
The best models combine technical materials that block cold air on the chest and back while still maintaining good breathability.
The WR Man Vest by Nalini is a garment designed to offer complete protection in a compact format, comfortable to wear, extremely versatile and suitable for all seasons. It is made of three-layer fabric of only 90 gr/m 2, with water-repellent treatment WR (Water Resistant) and a certified water column of 20,000 mm, which means that it resists effectively to rain and intense humidity. Despite the three-layer structure, the vest is extremely light and easy to fold and carry in a back pocket of the vest.
Among the most interesting technical details we find the internal wind protection with garage zip, which prevents the entry of air through the front hinge. The inner collar made of soft fabric increases comfort when in contact with the skin, avoiding neck discomfort. Reflective logos on the front and back ensure better visibility in low light conditions, while the integral YKK® cam-lock zip allows for smooth and secure opening even when you’re on the move. The lower hem is equipped with an elastic silicone band that keeps the vest perfectly in place during the pedaling, preventing it from lifting.
The head is one of the most sensitive areas to heat loss and during bike rides the wind penetrating through the cracks in the helmet can cause sudden cooling. That’s why caps and under helmets are essential accessories in every season, not only in the middle of winter. They perform a double function: thermoregulation and protection from the elements, significantly improving the quality of the pedaling.
A good underhelmet should protect ears, forehead and head without ensuring high breathability and a good fit. In summer, a light cap can be very useful to absorb sweat and shield slightly from the sun thanks to the visor. In addition, a waterproof and windproof cap can be useful in case of rain to protect the head from water and wind.
The Warm Mid Cap by Nalini is the perfect accessory to face the mid-seasons and mild winters. This cap is made of thermal stretch fabric, soft and elastic, which wraps perfectly the head following its movements without creating pressure points. Flat seams prevent irritation and chafing, while the integrated visor protects eyes from low sun, wind and light rain. The earmuffs are a fundamental component, which protects the most exposed parts without cluttering, allowing a perfect integration with the helmet. The reflective anthracite logo increases visibility in low light conditions, a detail always useful for road safety.
For wet and windy days, however, the ideal choice is the WP Rain Cap, a waterproof and windproof cap, perfect to face outings in uncertain weather conditions. It is completely heat-sealed, a feature that prevents any water infiltration through the seams, keeping the head dry and warm even in the most difficult weather conditions. The reflective black logo is discreet but functional, designed to improve visibility.
