Clothing

Body armour is tough but flexible padding that can be worn on your chest, arms, legs/shins, and even neck that spreads and absorbs the impact of a crash while riding. Body armour is a good idea for mountain bike riders and BMX riders who want to push their limits.

Base layers are thin shirts or pants that can be worn under a normal cycling jersey or some shorts. They are wonderful for keeping warmer in cooler temperatures but can also wick moisture away from you while riding in the heat. Base layers can have short or long sleeves and can be thick or thin. The right pair will depend on the riding conditions

Hey, you know those things hanging out of your sleeves? They’re called your arms, and chances are if you’re riding in Australia you’ll need to protect them from a wide variety of elements. A pair of arm warmers is a good place to start. Despite being compact and lightweight, arm warmers will help keep your arms warm and dry on freezing rides.
