Road Bike Jerseys - Better Then A T-Shirt?

Road bike jerseys are very convenient and accessible while riding.

As you are probably aware, cycling jerseys have two or three pockets in the back.

If you have not used one to ride with before you might wonder what the pockets are for.

The pockets are purely for convenience while riding. It is much easier to reach your hand to your back and grab food.

It would be rather difficult to grab food out of a saddle bag under the back portion of your seat.

Pretty much any other place would more difficult to get food from than from a bike jersey.

Who Makes Jerseys for Cycling?

There are several companies who make jerseys. Many companies now are offering custom designed jerseys.

You will find the most common jersey brands are:

Primal Wear
Pearl Izumi
Castelli
Canari
Axil Wear
Shebeest (for women only)
Along with many more

Primal Wear makes jerseys which are bold in appearance or a bit out of the ordinary.

For example: you can get a jersey which looks like an x-ray, except with more color. You will not find a design like that from other makers.

Shebeest is made by women for women.

All these designers make a high quality product!

Besides the Pockets, How does a Jersey Help?

Road bike jerseys are designed to draw sweat/moisture away from your body via a technique called 'wicking'.

This process takes place due to the material from which jerseys are make.

Jerseys are made from 100% polyester, a polyester blend of some kind or from Merino wool.

Having a wool jersey sounds great in the winter months for the cold rides.

It might seem crazy, yet you can get a wool jersey for the summer months too.

You might wonder why in the world you would want to get a wool jersey for the summer.

Merino wool jerseys are extremely good at keeping the stink away. The wool is actually what keeps the stink away.

They are also quite comfortable too!

A jersey is beneficial to any rider!
