Cycling in winter requires preparation and appropriate technical clothing. Men’s winter cycling jerseys are essential technical garments in the wardrobe of any cyclist, designed not only to protect from the cold, but also to ensure comfort, breathability and performance. They must keep the body warm but dry, protect it from the wind without trapping moisture, and adapt perfectly to the aerodynamic position of the rider. They must also be versatile enough to be used as an outer layer on mild days or as a midlayer under a heavier jacket in colder months.
To guarantee you maximum comfort and adequate protection in winter, you must choose a jersey that suits your personal needs, the climate of your area, the type of training you want to perform and, of course, your style. A good winter cycling jersey will allow you to face long distance training and outings in any condition, without sacrificing comfort and performance.
Let’s see together what features a good cycling jersey should have for winter and how to choose the model that suits you best.
A good winter cycling jersey must be designed with specific materials and advanced technologies that allow you to cope with harsh weather conditions without compromising comfort and freedom of movement. Firstly, the fabric must provide good thermal insulation, that is it must retain body heat while maintaining a constant temperature, but at the same time it must be breathable, to allow the evaporation of sweat produced during physical activity. The accumulation of moisture can lead to a cooling of the body and negatively affect performance. The materials most used for winter garments are fabrics with water-repellent and wind-resistant treatments and elastic synthetic fibres such as polyester and elastane, which guarantee a snug and comfortable fit.
Another essential feature is the ergonomic fit: the jersey must adhere to the body without constraining, following the natural movements of the cyclist in the pedalling position. The flat or heat-sealed seams are an essential detail to avoid rubbing and irritation on the skin during longer runs. In addition, a long and robust front zip can not be missed, preferably with self-locking system and internal protection to prevent infiltration of cold. The back pockets - usually three - are essential to carry items such as bars, replacement gloves or other useful accessories during the exits. Strategically placed reflective inserts on the back, shoulders or sleeves are also useful to increase visibility on foggy days or at sunrise and sunset.
Finally, the best jerseys have a high and protective collar, an elastic that grips the bottom of the shirt to prevent the garment from moving or slipping during movement, and elastic cuffs that prevent the entry of cold air.
On the market you can find many models of winter cycling jerseys, each with different technical characteristics, so before buying you will have to carefully evaluate several aspects. There is no one ideal jersey for everyone, but there is the right one for your specific needs, depending on the weather, the type of cycling you do, your level of training and the comfort you want. Among the main factors to consider in choosing are certainly:
Choosing the right jersey means first of all understanding how and where you will ride and what level of protection and comfort you want. Take the time to compare options and, if possible, try out different models to see which one best suits your body and needs.
