Clothing for Bicycling

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Patrick from Zoomers Bike and Gear to tell you about advanced cycling. All right, now in advanced cycling you have a lot of different options for wearing clothing depending on the different types of year. Most riders will just go for a normal, regular jersey, which are nice, because they wick and keep and keep the sweat off you, which also keeps you a lot cooler. And they're just very light weight and nice. Another very nice option is you have the ability to zip them open and closed, so if it's really hot out, you can open it up and give yourself a nice bit of air. Also, in the riding, you have shorts, or as these are, these are bibs. What they offers is just a little bit of aerodynamics, but mainly what it offers is--is, it's a thing that keeps you nice, dry, as well as it has an extra pad inside of them, so it keeps you a little bit more comfortable as well as it keeps everything where it needs to be. And that's the difference between having a set of bibs, as these are, and having a pair of shorts. The bibs tend to stay and keep everything with the least amount of adjustment needed. Now, you're going into where it gets a little bit chillier and what not. You have your base layer, which is nice, because it's just an extra layer to keep the moisture away from your outer layer. When it's just starting to get chilly, these are nice to wear to keep that from happening so you don't have to go to a full long-sleeve jersey. Another thing is leg warmers, as well as arm warmers. Now, you can get them in assorted colors. Mainly, they just come in black, but they do have the options of a couple different colors. And those are nice just to keep you warm. Now you're going into more of getting chillier, you have what you call a vest. Now to go on with that, you have the long sleeve jerseys, which just gives you a little big of extra warmth, you know, keep it over top of your base layer, just a nice extra bit to go along with the arm warmers. And then when it's really starting to get cold, you have the different style jackets. This is actually a rain jacket, but these do come in long sleeves as well, so you get the wind option without having the hotness of a rain jacket. And then you go down to having the tights when you get really cold out, which are nice because they have wind front options on them, so you can block from the wind, which is when it's cold, one of the chilliest things about the cold is getting hit by the wind. And as long as you have warm clothing on, it's fine. And it saves you a lot of time and effort, as well as being cold, and keeps you going and keeps you comfortable."
