Cycling jerseys
A close-fitting cycling jersey with practical back pockets is a must if you are cycling or taking part in competitions. We are specialists in cycling jerseys with the features that serious athletes don't want to do without!
A cycling jersey has a number of functional properties that are not seen on an ordinary jersey. Eg. the design is usually relatively close to the body so that wind resistance is limited, and there are several (back) pockets for storing food, mini-tools, etc.
When you have to choose the right cycling jersey, it must of course have the right look (so that it matches your bike, for example!). However, we would especially recommend that you also go for a jersey with good elasticity, ergonomic fit and breathability, so that you get the best possible movement and moisture transport.

Why is a cycling jersey a good idea?
There are several aspects of cycling, especially in terms of exercise and competition, which can explain why specially designed cycling jerseys make good sense:
The wind resistance is noticeable when we cycle. Therefore, there is a need for clothing that fits relatively close to the body, so that it does not flutter and so that the speed is not reduced unnecessarily.
Pockets for repair tools and catering. In contrast to e.g. runners, cyclists need to bring patching equipment, mini pump etc. on the ride, and here it is practical to have back pockets on the cycling jersey for just that purpose
Moisture transport and breathability. When pedaling hard in the pedals, it is convenient that the cycling jersey's textile composition makes it possible to easily get rid of excess heat. Similarly, it is crucial for comfort that the cycling jersey dries quickly, so that the upper body does not get wet and chilled.
Mobility and freedom of movement. Cycling training and competition often extend over many hours, and if there is something on the body that tightens annoyingly, hinders free movement or the like, it will be experienced as bothersome and drain you of energy. Therefore, cycling jerseys are constructed with materials that are flexible and do not hinder mobility.
What features should a cycling jersey have?
There is a large industry involved in the development and design of cycling jerseys, and the list of the many more or less useful features that can be incorporated into a cycling jersey design is long. Here is an overview of the most important features or functions you must look for when buying a new cycling jersey. And here it is subordinate whether you are looking for a cycling jersey for MTB, country road or Touring/Gravel:
Full-length zipper. Cycling jerseys are made without or with a short zip, and this must primarily be attributed to fashion purposes. It is e.g. impractical to have to pull the cycling jersey over your head with full back pockets, or if you can't zip all the way down the front when the emergency needs to be done on the ride. Also, make sure that the zipper is of good quality, e.g. of the YKK type.
Back pockets. Go for 2-3 roomy back pockets for all your carry-on gear (hose, tire iron, multitool, energy gels, phone, etc.). Check that the pockets are placed suitably far down on the cycling jersey, so that they are easy to access on the go. If there is also a zipped pocket for valuables, that is definitely an advantage.
4-way stretch fabric. It is of great importance for your comfort that the shirt is flexible in all directions so that it is felt/perceived as little as possible, and does not prevent your freedom of movement. Check here that there is a certain percentage of elastane in the textile composition.
Many panels = good ergonomic fit. A well-designed cycling jersey is typically manufactured with 8-12 or more fabric panels stitched together – often of different types of textile, as they allow for a better anatomical fit.
·Anti-slip material on shirt edge. A shirt edge with silicone or other anti-slip means that the shirt stays where you need to, and does not slide up when you are bent over the handlebars.
Close-fitting armholes. Sleeves flapping in the wind will quickly annoy most people. Laser-cut sleeve edges and silicone edges, etc. are some of the methods to ensure snug fitting sleeves.

Cycling jersey or cycling jersey - is there a difference?
The two terms are used interchangeably, but no, a cycling jersey and a cycling jersey are the same. It mostly depends on semantics and therefore not function. Cycling jersey must have mostly crept in because of the English "Cycling Jersey".
So you choose what you want to call it - there's no reason for confusion!
Cycling jersey for women and for men
When cycling exercise started to become popular in the 90s and 00s, it was especially among men. Fortunately, that has changed, and more and more women are cycling today for the sake of exercise. This has had the effect that for many years cycling jerseys and other cycling clothing have been designed for men, and women have often had to make do with e.g. cycling in men's cycling jerseys.
Today, the selection of cycling jerseys and cycling clothing specially designed for women is growing rapidly. And since there is just a difference between men's and women's anatomy, it is positive. Women's cycling jerseys should ideally be designed in a different cut, so that e.g. bust and hip. At the same time, there is often also a difference between men's and women's preferred style in terms of colors and design. At Ventoux, we have followed this development and have an increasing selection of cycling jerseys, etc. for women.
